Was leaning heavily towards the SA in the beginning. Then handles the PT1911.
No comparison. Quality? Do you think your getting SAs best with thier entry level 1911 (don't think so). Plus overall fit and finish on the Taurus was better IMO. As with others I am not a big fan of the logo on the slide but hey I am looking at it from behind the business end so it does not really bother me.
Ambi safety, heinie sights, two mags, lowered flared ej port, slide serations, lifetime warranty, and some other minor upgrades on the Taurus
vs
A basic as basic can be 1911.
Choice was not hard
