Hey yall. I've been lurking for quite awhile because I'm determined to wait on the stainless steel version to come out. I was looking at the Cabelas online circular and saw that they're advertising the PT1911 with rosewood grips for $549. I'm now reconsidering waiting

Hmm, I'd like to see that!

Check out Bud's Guns.com, they have the gun for $519.68 delivered. You have to go through an ffl, most charge between $10 and 25 but you dont pay tax. That will save you some dough. Check it out at:

I "believe" that special offer PT1911 with the rosewood grips also comes with the rubber grips as well - both.

I wonder if the rosewood grip set is available separately from Taurus. The web site did not show this last time I looked. Cabelas had this same deal a few months ago for about 500 bucks as I recall. I had already bought my PT1911 by then.

I know it's not a Taurus but here's another nice 1911 from Bud' for the same price as the Taurus. It's a Charles Daly M5. Kimber use to sell the same gun as their polymer hi-cap model. It's a 14 rounder made in Isreal by Bultransmark. http://www.bultransmark.com/index2.htm I have one of their double stack CZ clones in 45acp and it is very accurate. Act-Mag out of Italy also makes inexpensive mags for it. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=86666312

Pflyinguy,
I purchased a PT1911 from Bud's in October that was advertised with Rosewood checkered grips (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=82149077). It was delivered with the standard black grips and no explaination. Upon inquiring on the discrepancy Gunery said, " Oh those are not available". Then after much prodding he committed to sending a set of thier Chip Mccormick's they have in stock. Well they never showed up and I just decided it's not worth time in dealing with them any longer.

Hope your experience is better.

I just got my gun tonight from my ffl. I am quite happy with this gun. It's my first 1911 and the pictures on the web site don't do it justice. It came with the wood grips installed and the plastic grips bagged. I am happy with the overall experience of ordering from bud's. I hope you get the grips the promised you. I would keep calling until you get what they promised.

it's a 1911.
You can find grips all over the place.
