I ran 48 rounds through the new Taurus a couple of weeks ago. Today, another 100 at the local indoor range. I've decided that I can't afford the PT1911SS. It's a Glut. All it wants is to chamber another round, yet another, yet another. It's also finicky in that it almost insists that I get the sight picture right so it can hit another bullseye. And all the time it's screaming "Just one more magazine, just another 8 rounds!" And all of this without a single hiccup. By the way, all ammo was Blazer Brass. I've never seen a gun so demanding!
Now I have three decisions to make:
1. Should I trade it for something a lot less expensive to shoot? (By the way, does anyone know of a .22 conversion for this piece of steel?).
2. Should I continue to use Mobile One 15-50 oil on the rails like today? May even switch back and forth with CLP.
3. Is it time to fess up to the wife that I just purchased another pistol that is a precious antique, no longer in production and will only increase in value as time goes by?!!!
Got some heavy decisions to make over the next few days!!!! #3 will be by far the most difficult!!!!
PS......Local gun store next door to the range has a PT1911 in blue....wonder if they'd let me do a "lay away".......
