Hello
After 7 years in the market what say you, has your PT 1911 lived up to the advertising claims?
I've had mine since 08 and to date I have shot about 18K round through it with out a break-in period and with out any FTF or FTE that I can not attribute to my own reloads, I've ran about 1500 rounds of Winchester white box ammo with no hiccups, 500 SD double tap 230 gr gold dots which is what I keep it loaded with, and about 16K of my own 225 RNFP Magnus lead projectiles over 5.0 gr bulls eye powder.
I change out the springs in 5000 round counts, and inspect the MIM fire control under magnification with out noticing any diminishing characteristics to the sear, hammer hooks or disconnector.
I don't have a higher priced 1911 to compare it to but I'm completely satisfied with it, I did initially have to get Taurus to send me a new ambi-safety when mine broke but the contacts that I've had with the customer service has been met with courtesy and promptness, I got the new safety with in a weeks time (No Complaints).
I'm hoping to get another 18K round through it before I change out the MIM parts, in all honesty I have tried to prove the nae sayer right but failed and probably put my gun through hell needlessly, this 1911 reminds me of the Timex watches (takes a licking and keeps on ticking) roger out.
