I think I know the answer to the question but I have to ask. I am comming into a slight windfall and I am going to buy a 1911 pistol.
I had my mind set on a Taurus pt 1911 in blued. I am not a big fan of SS guns.
It comes with the bells and whistles. Hinie sights, matte blued finish, exteded bevertail, checkered plastic grips, vented trigger, etc. Local price is $549 + tax.
I like this gun but I have always had the lingering questions about Taurus in my mind.
Today I looked at the Taurus again and then I made the choice to hold the Springfield 1911 Loaded model.
I realy like this gun alot. It has walnut grips, adjustable night sights, blued finish- fully parkerized to boot, extended bevertail, etc. Local price is $829 +tax. I have the cash for the Taurus, but I am thinking of waiting a little while longer to get the Springfield.
I know both are good guns but is the Springfield worth almost $300 more? I know long term the I will probably love the Springfield more it is just my wallet having a slight stroke in the price difference.
I am only looking at these two models. I have looked at others and these two are my final contestants. Let me know what are your +'s and -'s for each model.
Thanks,
