My experience with my Taurus PT 1911 is that it is a really smooth, sweet shooting, bargain for the money. Mine has functioned flawlessly with many different ammo's and loads. Accuracy is spot on. Taurus lists, I believe 19 "custom" features that they do on their 1911's out of the box. Some are cosmetic but many such as mating the key 3 parts, trigger job, full length guide rod, etc. are basically what Kimber does to make a Kimber. I have shot both and from a purely "how it shoots" standpoint, I cannot tell any difference. With that said, I look at a Kimber sort of how I look at a Caddy or a Harley. Do you get as much more gun over the taurus as you pay for.....nope......but it ain't a Kimber! :-) Just like that Honda ain't a Harley, but it is just as well built! That would be my humble two cents. Can't go wrong with the Taurus at a good price. My only serious knock would be it isn't made in the good 'ole USA. (Hmmmm.....could this actually be why the Kimber is so much more expensive? Just a thought!) Have a great one and good shootin!
