Wrong... If a magnet will stick to it, it will rust.Park guns need rubbed down with oil while stainless won't.
I had a stainless Colt 1991A1 I had to treat like a blued carry gun to keep the rust away. My Para Companion was almost as bad. My Kimbers hold up pretty well when neglected, but as a general rule, I treat my stainless guns like they're parkerized.
I have no experience with the Taurus 1911s, but have heard good things. I've had no issues with my 9mm STI Spartan out of 1000 rounds, and the sights were dead on, out of the box.
The only downsides to the STI spartan is the Fiber Optic front sight, in the almost Novak front dovetail and the adjustable rear sight, which is all personal preference, and most of that has been changed on mine. Dawson Precision offers Spartan-specific front sights. I wish I knew that before I flat-topped my slide and voided the warranty...
