New guy here. Just bought my first Taurus the other day, a PT1911. It is great. I hunted for weeks and could not find one anywhere. Then last Thursday, I dropped by a local Academy to pick up a Father's Day gift for my dad. When I went by the gun counter, one of the employees was playing with a pisol. I asked him what it was and he said that it was a PT1911. I immediatly said "I'll take it." The look on his face was priceless. The best part: it was the only one they had. He also had no idea when they would get anymore.
I took it out the other day with a few of my friends and the sneers of disgust they wore when looking at it were terrible. I must have heard "Piece of Brazilian crap..." "Should have bought a Kimber..." a hundred times before we started shooting. Two hundred rounds later I was the only one without a jam. Their expensive Kimbers were hanging up every two or three mags. The thing is damn accurate as well. I'm a decent shot, but this gun is clearly more accurate than I could possibly shoot it.
Their attitudes were nothing new. They sneered at my CZ till it outshot and out worked their Berettas and H&Ks. Price tag isn't everything.
Taurus makes a damn fine product.
