Friends don't let friends buy Taurus. I bought a new PT-1911 from Buds Gun Shop last December. Took it to the 15 yard range and it shot 3 FEET low and 1 FOOT to the left. Two other people shot with the same results. I called Taurus where the Cust Serv. Rep asks me how I am holding the gun! I finally convince him the gun is off and he says he will send me a lower front sight. But it has to arrive on the next monthly shipment from Brazil. I wait 4 weeks, no sight. I decide to send the pistol back. It cost me $80 at UPS. Taurus has it for 10 weeks then says they will replace it. I receive, for a second transfer fee, a PT-1911 replacement from their "X" inventory that has tool marks and scratches all over the slide. I call Taurus where a Rep is indignant that I'm complaining about tool marks and scratches. After I get over the shock and take it too the range, it shoots three inches low at 7 YARDS. I call Taurus, they send me a lower front sight. I can't find a .5 mm Allen wrench anywhere so I sold the piece of junk at a substantial loss. I sold my PT-145 also. Never ever will I own another Taurus.
