MY New 45 Taurus Check this one out!
 
Hi Guys !
Just picked this beauty up yesterday and gave it a try at the range today.
It is a very well made pistol, Shoots as accurate as my Sig, Springfield or Kimber. No FTF or FTE with Hollow point ammo and works great with 230gr
FMJ Blazer ammo. Taurus finally got one right!;)http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/x...100_3041-1.jpg

Looks really nice!

The quality of TaurusUSA has come up quite a bit in the last few years. Looks like a good one. How did it group up?

Hasn't ever been anthing wrong with Taurus. Had a M92, 9MM always worked.

Good ol Boy,
It was putting in 2 inch groups or less at 15 yards offhand, thats pretty
good for me. Kicks the crap out of the steel sillouhete targets at 30 yards or less. It is just plain fun to shoot! ;) 6.5

I keep looking at the mil spec 1911's. A little heavy. Don't hold 10 rounds. Over the hill but dang as they nice. Takes me back to the 1960's when it was a reliable companion for a lot of years.

I like taurus i have the pt92 in 9mm and have put lots of rounds threw it and i no lots of guys that have a taurus and i have read were they have one of best warrentys on the market.
I must say i dont care for the key lock on the back of the hamer i have never used it and never will.
I have been looking at there 1911 and the lighting rifles.

1911's
 
Ah yes..my favorite handgun. I'd carry one if it only held 6. Heck..I have one that carries 6..pretty little gun. Ain't the most accurate but works just fine at gun fight range. If I'm too far or run outta bullits I'm gonna run anyway. I finally found my Wilson Combat.. I put it where a goober couldn't find it while I was gone. When the goober got home he couldn't remember where he put it. I have a Charles Daly 1911 clone that shoots ok for a bedroom gun A series 70 in another place and a National match(1958 mail order gun) around somewhere's and a Smith 669 in Momma's car. A just in case thing...Have a 639 around but when it comes to serious..I have a 45 auto..In the late unlamented disagreement in S E Asia..I almost always had 2 on me. and free ammo. Even after I came back..Untrusting you might say

skeet,

A .45 ACP does not need 6 if the first two are CENTER MASS and the third is in the head.

Watch the sights and the rest is history. Keep shooting until the mope falls away from the front sight!

Skeet its a good thing you don't live in Massachuetts, you would be breaking the law with all those handguns hanging around without TRIGGER LOCKS on them. According to the law you would be automatically locked up for a year and loose your right to carry immediately.

Then again you don't you lucky geezer.

I have got about 500 rounds through the PT-1911 now and it is just getting
better, must be almost through the break in period. Groups are getting tighter and no FTF or FTE. It eats my reloads without any glitches just
hope it stays that way!:) 6.5

While I don't have one, I have shot a buddys...from another net....I found it quite nice!No problems and was accurate.

Changed theWood Grips over to Hogue Fingergroove type. This
makes the pistol shoot even better! They just feel right with
more control and accuracy! Here's a pichttp://i766.photobucket.com/albums/x...usPT1911-1.jpg.
