Found a PT1911 at Powderhorn in San Antonio to look over. I am impressed. Fit was quite good. Finish was about what I would expect on a $500 gun. A few minor tool marks with fairly good parkerization. I did not get to break the gun down to see the innards. Trigger was crisp and felt like around 3 - 4 pounds (no guage, just feel).

Lockup was good, with no discernable play. Safeties all worked as they should, and the thumb safety was not the least bit "mushy."

I'm impressed. For a savings of about $200 or so compared to S&W's low-end 1911, SA's loaded models, Kimber's Custom II, or Sig's GSR Revolution XO, I'll certainly consider it when I get around to getting a 1911, again.
