Check out this review from XXXXX Parts, when I tried to put a different barrel on my PT 1911 HD. I'm holding back the name until I get moderators approval.
"The Colt parts won't fit the Taurus. Modifications will have to be made to the firearm and GPC doesn't want to be responsible for the possible malfunctions of a modified firearm.
Please take this to a Gunsmith for assistance with the modification."
I'll PM the letter from the company to the Moderator to evaluate. I'm real tired of being treated like second rate news. I had one (semi-famous) gunsmith say, "I don't work on junk". get that out of here. Again if it's okay w/ the moderrator, etc.
The gun is great, better then that. I have close to 20 (twenty) firearms. Most antiques but the Taurus is perfect, only they're not going to let a bonehead like me ruin there rep. by making alterations on the newest model. They are to establishing credibility again first. I error and people say, " the Taurus did this or that".
Check any part dealer for parts. Type in Taurus, then parts or accessories. Enjoy your grips or sight, you might get lucky with a holster.
I worked on this project for four months, I used my own Colt parts with poor success at best. Don't buy a Taurus like I did, if you want to change it. The gun is great (as is only). I use it often with, "out of the box perfection" but stop there. Somebody please prove me wrong.
I read the article, Shooting Times, that's the second one, tell me why the lugs don't line up right with a colt barrel? Is that the tweaking you mention? You need a depth gauge and the Colt links are thick, that's all I can wright.. Your playing with your life or your face can get blown off if you make a mistake. That's why they are trained gunsmiths, then all you have to do is pray (on the first shot).
Taurus will revoke your warranty in a second, get a gunsmith that knows, and maybe.. I tried five, one is a friend of mine, he wouldn't touch it. Just said Taurus has some strong policies & I'm not going there. One Gunsmith said no problem, $65. to reset the new barrel.
Try this: "Shooting Times (Gunsmith Addition)" Oct 2007, gives ways of testing the barrel in a slide with light or color, clay etc on the lugs, then see the gaps a colt barrel leaves. I'll tell you this, my Taurus Showed NO LIGHT on the head spacing or anywhere else where points of contact are concerned. That's perfection, My Colts didn't come close, even my $900 Defender looked like a bad movie.
That's some of the facts, I don't care who's offended, it's not JUNK except to a jerk but it's not an exact mil spec either. Sorry I'm tired and angry with being lied too or major companies not even getting back to me. Later...........
