I own a Taurus PT1911, its a nice gun that gives you a lot of features for the money. There are two things you should be aware of regarding the PT1911. The first issue is the finish, its not as good as it should be. The finish has a one year warranty while the rest of the gun has a lifetime warranty. The second issue is the dovetails for the sights are unique to the gun. While the gun has Heinie Straight-8 sights they utilize a Taurus only dovetail.

As an alternative to the Taurus you might consider a Rock Island Armory 1911, tactical. You can find them for sale on gunbroker by a guy called Bellshireguns for $425 (Buy now) and he will pay the shipping to your FFL if you use the "Buy Now" function. The Rock Island will have a life time warranty also.
