Taurus PT1911 .45 pistol. One good review. One bad review.
GunBlast.com has just reviewed the Taurus PT1911 .45 pistol. It is a big contrast to the review by B.B. who had a lot of trouble with his.
The Taurus delivered. It was one hundred percent reliable with every type of factory ammunition that I had available. It also functioned flawlessly with my favorite .45 ACP handload.
I wanted so much to love this pistol, but poor reliability is the worst sin a defense gun can commit. I’m not sure I can forgive it
Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
My wife bought me this one for a birthday and I have found it to be great (so great that its now my bed side gun). Mine has had no problems with any ammo that Ive put through it (other than the occasional stove pipe when my wife shoots it, this being from not holding it correctly). Ive shot well over 5,000 rds through mine and have loved every moment.
I RESPECT THE RIGHT OF THE NEGATIVE REVIEW TO POST, WAS THE PISTOL RETURNED FOR SERVICE??? DID THEY REPAIR THE DEFECTS.
IT IS A BUMMER THAT YOU HAD DIFFICULTIES. YOU COULD HAVE LISTED THEM AND WHAT CONDITIONS IT HAPPENED UNDER. WHAT AMMO USED & HOW THE RESOLUTIONS WERE DEALT WITH.
I ONCE BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND HAD THE DASHBOARD FALL OUT OF POSITION,IT CAUSED A LOT OF DIFFICULTIES. WHEN REPAIRED I DROVE THE AUTO FOR 56,000 MILES AND SOLD IT.
I NEVER REALLY WAS AT EASE WITH IT,LIFE IS FULL OF POTHOLES.
I have to agree with campbaker. I had a Smith and Wesson Model 37 that the frame cracked in. Just leaving it at that would be terrible. What I would need to include is that Smith sent me a brand new 637 “in 4 days” for free that has had no problems yet!
I like the idea of the “Budget” 1911 that Taurus has put out but I would like to get some solid reviews. Gunblast reviews are always good, he doesn’t find a gun he doesn’t like. Just like reviewers in gun rags. We need more people like the author of this blog to review guns harder. For those of us who only buy a few a year and can’t buy every last one that every manufacture comes out with.
I shot a bullseye at 20yds. on this pistol (Taurus PT1911) the first time I took it to the range with my 11 yr. old son, then I let him shoot it at the same distance and he put his hole about an eight of an inch off my bullseye. This gun is the most accurate gun I’ve ever shot straight out of the box.
I have the pt1911alr and i couldnt be happier. It has about 600 rnds through it its very accurate……..shoots any round u put through it.My friends with kimbers are acutaly jealous because the checkering and finish are alot better than his kimber……yes i didnt believe it either but, when i saw his kimber i was surprised. Ive noticed kimbers QC failing alot lately my buddies kimber went back after 100 rnds…..stove pipes fail to feed etc. I love my taurus Ill never get rid of it.
Just purchased this gun. Only had one opportunity to shoot yet and put 50 rounds through with great accuracy and no problems. Has some great features at an affordable price. At this point, very satisfied with the purchase. Ive found that Taurus has a bad rep and people are wary of their guns but the 1911 .45 cal really is a good gun.
