My First and Brand New 1911!
 
Happy to say I went out and got a new Taurus 1911 .45...been wanting one of these guns for a very long time and I found one that is custom and has a great color combo on it. Its probably the first gun I have ever bought that I immediatly didnt want to add something too...

You got the PT1911 lite. Very nice guns IMO. I have a PT from when they very first released. Good shooters.

That is a great way for anyone to start their week. Nice gun....enjoy it. Don't be too alarmed if you initially have some feeding problems. Brand spanking new 1911's can be a little finicky until broken in.

I own a Millenium Pro PT-111 in 9mm and a .380 TCP. I like both of them very much, and have had zero operational problems with either one of them. Good Luck and enjoy!

I found it at a Gun Show south of Nashville, TN. The guys who customized it are out of Cleveland, TN and they used Duracoat for this color combo. Thanks for all the compliments guys :D

Congrats on a nice looking 1911! Now go look for your next one. Cant start too early you know........And there WILL be the next one.

Did the custom shop do a slide melt?
It looks like it has been smoothed over the length of the slide, very nice!
And great color combo, don't forget to give us a range report. When you do, post a link to it on this thread so, we won't miss it.

I'll be wait'n. :)

My only dislike about the Taurus PT1911 is the grips they use. I shot one of the rentals at the range and the grips aren't the most comfortable. But you do get a lot of the features of more high-end guns at a better price.

I don't like most grips that any manufacturer uses. It is usually the first thing I change:
