It looks like it will be a Taurus for the baby's mother as a Christmas gift. My local dealer has one for $ 589 but it seems high.

What did you pay and where.

[taylormadefilms]

$450 in a shop in Belleville, Illinois. Taurus rep was there with a dozen guns and all were on sale. You could test fire one to your heart's content. I ran 50 rounds through the test gun and bought one of the twelve on the spot. The first gun out of the case had a slight flaw on the finish, so we fished out a second gun - which was wrapped in brown paper (unlike the first) - and I purchased that one. I also got a free $150 membership to the shooting range and 10% off on all ammo purchases. Since then I've run all sorts of ammo through the Taurus to the tune of 400 rounds without any problem. It was a great buy at $450. $598 seems high, in fact, very high, but I've heard these guns are hard to find and I may have gotten lucky walking in the shop on just the right day. I guess somebody wanted me to have a PT1911.

[Canuck-IL]

Seems high...there are a bunch on Gunbroker w 'Buy It Nows' of 500 - 520 and the local, always over-priced shop was 539. If bought on-line, of course, you have shipping and FFL transfer but not sales tax.

I'm in PA too. Which shop?

[albertr]

Ray Tanner's in Jamison. He got five of them a few weeks ago, but I think they went fast. You can always call him and ask if he's expecting more: 215-343-3103. Classic Pistol in Southampton has a few (been there this Tue), but their prices are on high end, around $490. 215-953-7264.

Checked at the gun show in Springfield, Illinois today. There were six or seven PT1911s at the show. Cheapest was $452.00. Highest $610.00. I almost got away free, but ended up buying a nice Broomhandle Mauser "Red Nine." Early Christmas present from the wife who proclaimed it "neat looking."

[Doo Dah]

Paying 515 for a Stainless model with a rail. And yes, I am a newb.

[Baldy]

There getting up over $500 down here in the swamps of Florida. That's in the shops. Gun shows are about $450 now.

[Combat Controller]

Stainless finally coming out eh? Where did you find it?

[raveneap]

Stainless finally coming out eh? Where did you find it?
Yup, like to know too. Far as I can tell, they're still not giving a release date - only TBA ...

[RonS]

Two hours ago, I looked at one at Gander Mtn for $499.

[Doo Dah]

I am getting it from a local shop that is more conceal and carry training than a regular dealer. He has different distributors he works with. Basically I order the gun from him, he gets it from the dist, and they ship back to him overnight. The gun was 15% over cost on a Xmas special. I should have it by Wednesday, hopefully. The name of the place is Discount Guns and Training ftp in San Antonio.

[jdcok72]

I purchased mine at the Cabella's just recently opened here in Boise. Sticker said $489, signed up for a Cabella's credit card and got a $15 credit, got my girlfriend to sign up for a card to and got a $40 credit, put the purchase on the new card and got $100 off for spending at least $450 during their Christmas sale promotion. Total out the door was $334 and I still get another $10 credit on my next purchase as part of the new credit card promotion. :D

Although I don't have it yet. I ordered a Stainless version and locked the price in at 549.00. I have been told that they should become available the first quarter of '07

[Gunner777]

$459 around here.

[lmetmort]

[QUOTE=Gunner777]$459 around here.[/QUOTE

for Stainless ? That's what I would have to pay for a blue one here

I Thought the 549 was a great price

[Gunner777]

Nope not stainless. I imagine it would be in the mid $400's judging from how he marks his guns up. Cost plus 10%

[Combat Controller]

Cool, I may have to grab one.

[Mike1951]

This afternoon, I located a blued PT1911 for $449. I asked them to hold it till morning, as there wasn't time to get there before closing.

I paid $545 for my first one in September and $439 for the second one in October. Since then, I've called where I bought the second one several times, but this is the first time I've caught them with one in stock.

My buddy talked me out of #2, so this will be a replacement for it.

At last weekend's Pasadena,TX show, I only saw one and it was priced $595.

[Doo Dah]

Well I didn't get the PT. The guy tried all of his distributors and couldn't find one. I did find one shop in town that had one and they wanted 565 for the blued model. So I may be picking up a Kimber Custom II from Sportsmans Warehouse tomorrow for 620.

[Mike1951]

This afternoon, I located a blued PT1911 for $449. I asked them to hold it till morning, as there wasn't time to get there before closing.

Got it! Also picked up another new FN Hi-Power .40 for $399.

[Doo Dah]

Well........I didn't get the Kimber either. My wife (believe it or not) talked me into getting a S&W SW1911PD. I paid a bit more for it than the Kimber but it already has the Novak sights and wood grips so the Kimber would have been as much after replacement. I have always had 686s so the Smith seemed a natural purchase I guess. I might still get a PT once they are more available but for now I guess I am a Smith man. Thanks for everyone's feedback!

[FrankAR15]

They're gonna price themselves right out of the game. I'm thinking about one right now. Found one for $550 but I'm hesitating. I really would rather have a 9mm rather than another .45 1911. So I have been waiting for the release of the PT1911 in 9mm (if that EVER happens). If there is less than $200 difference, I'm inclined to get the Para. At $550, there's only about $60 difference between this gun and the Kimber Custom II. Not all the same features, but close. I regularly see the Kimber TLEs going for right at $720 (I have one) and that one has all of the same features except the ambi safety BUT you get Kimbers excellent factory night sights standard. Right now, the only real reason I'm thinking I'd get the Taurus is b/c the Springfield 1911 in 9mm I want is $800 and I've had good luck in the past with Taurus. If Taurus does something to reduce the savings, I'm inclined to go with Springfield or Para.

[raveneap]

Seems as though the laws of supply and demand have leaped upon Taurus with all their fury!! I'd wait before I paid $800.00 for the SS. Plan to have one to go along with my $500.00 blue model but will look until I find one far more attractively priced than that.

[Longslide]

Well the Taurus is nice but ....

It sure ain't no Springfield or a Colt. So the suggested retail will be less in acutuality, say $675.00 to $725.00 - not for that amount of coin I would by a Springfield or Colt or a another Sig XO

I got my Taurus's for $399.00 when they were first out. To me that was a great price. $450 is fair price for the blued.

Not $750!!!! Particularly given there track record on customer service - no way - I wish them luck!!!!

[Gunner777]

It will never get that high. I know the suggested retail is that high but only the worst gunshops ever sell at suggested retail. If so then I'm going for a Colt, SA etc.
I said months ago that if they went up in price very much they would price themselves out of the target market.

[sprice1973]

Bought mine for $400,slightly used from a friend who needed the cash.I have seen at local gunstores from$500 to $550.

[RickB]

The only one I've actually seen on a dealer's shelf, last weekend, was tagged $789.

[Gunner777]

That is crazy! Nobody will pay that when they can get a Sig XO, Colt or whatever for the same or less.

[vikz]

789!??man if they go that high then i am better of getting another dw p7!!

[Mike1951]

The only one I've actually seen on a dealer's shelf, last weekend, was tagged $789.

The only ones I've seen that approached that price were those equipped with the laser.

[Combat Controller]

I think the laser was a blunder. I have talked to lost of store owners and all they can get is the laser version right now. I have seen first hand four folks balk at the price/laser and buy something else. That is four sales gone. Glad I got mine when I did.

[Cap]

The price has gone up some here.


This Jan I went out to buy either a T1911 or Springer mil spec.
(I ended up buying neither and bought a new Para PX754E that was on sale for $499!!!!!)
anyway, enough of my BRAGGING about price.

At that time the regular price was $469 for the Taurus.
2 weeks ago when I picked up my new RIA, the price on the Taurus was up to $529

They had the CrimsonTrace outfitted one too.
If i recall right, it was right around a 700 dollar bill

They also went up at the other gun shop I saw them


..L.T.A.

[Combat Controller]

Saw a non laser at the gunshow yesterday... $659.... Ouch, that is gun show pricing, but still.....

[Longslide]

So glad that I got mine at $399 + tax.

Man that is a lot of money for the Taurus given what they started at!

Relative to what others good 1911's cost.

But a $250 increase from launch price. Crazy!!!

[KFlood]

I just checked the Taurus website & the MSRP is $703.00 for the PT1911. That's an $86.00 increase from the original MSRP of $617.00 that Taurus announced in the official Press Release. My current dealer has the PT1911 listed at $539.00 minus tax. I plan on going out and getting one asap, before the price goes up again.

Getting greedy.... They should watch that.

[Gunner777]

I saw a blue steel model at Bass Pro Shop for $459.

[Longslide]

Gunner

That price is more in line!!

[Gunner777]

Yes it is. They are out there for a good price.

[jpwilly]

Picked up mine in Dec 27th 2006 at Cabelas $489. They had none in stock so I asked if there was a way to order they said two were on the way but on the truck. They gave me the UPC and I called every day to see if the truck came yet. The morning it did I drove right there someone had purchased one and I purchased the other. They never made it to the display counter!!! Merry Christmas for sure!

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p38/jpwilly/PT1911013sm.jpg

[Mike1951]

I returned to Tomball Pawn, just northwest of Houston, where I bought one in October for $439 and another in November for $449.

They currently have in stock the regular PT1911 for $509.95 and the laser equipped for $669.95.

I didn't ask how many of each they had.

Apparently, their policy is to make $25 per gun, so their prices rise as their costs from distributors do.

[KFlood]

Well, I just left my Gun Dealer where I purchased a Taurus PT1911 for $599.39 out the door. Purchased the last PT1911 he had in the case. He had the usual fair in 1911 (ie.. Colt,Wilson, Springfield, Kimber, Sigarms, Les Baer, S&W) but none of them had all the features of the Taurus for the price. Yes, I am smiling. :^) :D

[vikz]

kflood i got mine for 595+tax and yes i am :) :) :) :lm: :lm:

[LikesToShoot]

I just came back from a gun show in St. Charles, MO. There was a NIB PT1911 for $505. I don't have the money for a second one but if I did.... Oh well.

[Gunner777]

My dealer always sells for cost plus 10% to keep volume of sales up. It makes it easy to figure what cost is for them. He sells them for $459 and has a heck of a time keeping them in stock. They sell about 4 or 5 a week!

[Longslide]

GUNNER

That is a fair price. If anyone is interested GAT GUNS in Dundee IL is taking orders for $529.00 for the blued PT1911. ummm - the difference is couple of boxes of break in ammo!! :lm:

I am glad I got mine from the first batch.

[raveneap]

They're showing up at gun shows up here in Maine now. Saw several yesterday priced from the mid 5's to the mid 6's.

[Lano]

They are definetly going up. Gave $525 for the only one I could find a week ago.

[smith1911]

$539 is a great deal + tax.
You say $539 minus tax? Grab it.

[kennyg]

I noticed the price is now $703 MSRP on the Taurus site, here in Alabama the price seems high, $575 to $599. I can't decide right now if this is fair, please give me some input, and THANKS in advance!

Hey Kenny G,

I live in B'ham AL & purchased a Taurus PT1911 from the Gun Cellar for $599.00 (including tax) out the door. The problem is that Taurus can't seem to keep up with the demand (or maybe they are creating the demand, hmmm) & the wholesalers are charging the dealers more to get them. And sorry, but there doesn't seem to be any used PT1911's on the market right now. IMHO for all features you get in the Taurus PT1911, any price under $600 is a steal. So you'll have to decide if the price is far. I haven't found anyone in this forum who is ready to give up their Taurus at any price.

Just my .02.

[Gunner777]

I posted this once before I believe but if you have a Bass Pro Shop in the area they are selling them for $479.

[raveneap]

Guess if I had a BPS and a few extra bucks I'd pick up a couple more. Great price.

[Mike1951]

At the Pasadena, TX gun show today, the PT1911 was $498.

If it hadn't been tax time, my twins would have become triplets.

[ShootinOnWheels]

I bought my Taurus last month here in Memphis at Bass Pro for 479.00 I went in today and they were selling for 569.00

[Cap]

saw at couple at the gun show Saturday here in N.E. Ohio.
Two different vendors

$529

..L.T.A.

[flyfish]

Bass Pro Shops in Denver had a price of $569 today which is a jump from $479 just a few weeks ago. The Pt-1911 was available for sale and had been there a day or two according to the clerk.

[holycrikey]

Hi guys! I'm brand new to this forum.

I just picked up my NIB Taurus 1911 at a gun show for $515 out-the-door. There were three other vendors that refused to go any lower than $530 + tax.

I think I got a pretty nice deal overall.

[Longslide]

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!

I know you will be happy with your new 1911.

how about some eye candy?? :wl:

Oh you can bet on it. However, I'm going to wait to take pics for two things

1.) New grips! Maybe Carbon Creations...

2.) My roommate will be scooping up a DSLR to take some fantastic pics.

Thanks for the info, I went to the Gun Cellar yesterday and picked one up for $529 plus tax. $577 OTD. I like the shop, I will do more business with them. I will post pics soon! :D

[Glock'N'Load]

I bough mine at bAss pro shops for $479 on 3/21/07 they had two the one on display had a few minor wear marks on the barrel from being cycled so I asked for another. They had one in the back still in the brown paper and all greasy from the factory. I looked it over and bought it. I went back six days later and they still had the display with the very minor marks but their prices had gone up by $90.

I have since put about 600 rounds through and not one failure. The only negative thing I can even say about this fine little gun is that the finish does tend to show wear and marks easily, but this is not a mantle peice it is made to shoot. And shoot it does very accurate I am just getting over the break in period, the slide moves like it is on ball bearings. I dont care what anyone says about this gun I think most of the b.s. you hear is from people that are ticked that they paid three times what we did to get a gun as good as ours.


I do want to get some new sights for mine. I am not a huge fan of hennie for target shooting, I would really like a nice green/rear red/front fiber optic sight. i hear hennie is making some different sights as well as Novak which should be out in the next couple of months.

As for the finish I am actually glad it is weak that way I wont feel as bad when I hard crome it, two-tone maybe.

I did out hogue rubber grips with the fingers, lets see some pics.

[Mike1951]

Was back in Tomball Pawn today, Tomball, TX, where I bought two of mine.

They still have the standard PT1911 for $499.

That's down $10 from the last time I was there.
