Hello all I am not a 1911 guy at all but decided to jump in and buy one. I bought one and just trying to figure out what series it is so I can look into buying some parts for it.
If you guys could help I would really appreciate it a lot. Im looking to get the trigger lighter (Dont worry it will not be a carry gun).
Thank You

And if you want the trigger lighter, the one it came with is fine, you need to go
on youtube or get a smithing book to lighten trigger pull!

I learned to not give instructions on doing this kind of work, if something happens to you or someone else
I do not want to be responsible...................

Use the search feature I did a thread on 1911 trigger jobs, I think it was about 4 years ago. I have since quit using my old Ed Brown sear jig and now use the TR Jig. Who did you buy the pistol from ? Looks like they did a melt job on the slide but left the frame alone, may have changed out parts already.

yea looks like new re-blue job as well, No PT1911 in modern history has that kind of finish on it!
and yes as other have mentioned IF it a Taurus 1911 it is a so called series 80, although that really has a lot more differences than just the firing pin safety, you might want to research all this before starting work on it.

For the guys who don't know, that's a factory finish on that 1911. I have one of my own. They also have a commander version with a rainbow/prizm finish on the slide. Looks nice. Along with that they have cerakote American Flag, Desert Sand, and OD Green options too. For the PT92 guys, they have a polished blue slide version of that, too.

That might be the best bbq gun I've seen...off the shelf. I'd rock that.
Its beautiful!

The Blue and silver finish is a STOCK FINISH for the PT1911's as one of the color options they offer. the PT92s also have similar colors available. Back in October, I picked up a 92 with Blue on Black frame for my son in law. They are G-10 grips as well.
(I know it's not a 1911)
