read that severns pistol shootout thread i posted and search his other entry level 1911 torture test.

I was very impressed with the taurus 1911 when it came out. They buy there frames from the same company some of the big name guys do as blanks. They are great shooters out of the box and can be built like others.

I have built several and i mean several 1911's since i started shooting. In my book any 1911 is better than no 1911!
