taurus 1911

[thisgsx]

so i gather from the excerpt below
"LEOs can buy them. Someone can move into California as a legal owner of one or many handguns not on the Roster and bring them into the state. Any California resident can transfer a non-Roster handgun to another California resident using Private Party Transfer. That has to happen at an FFL dealer, but the Roster does not apply to PPT.

Inherited guns and intra-family (within California only) transfers – which do not use FFLs – are exempt from being on the Roster. Out of state to CA intra-family gifts are also exempt from the Roster, even though they must go through an FFL.

Falling off the Roster does not make handguns illegal and certainly does not make them unsafe in any meaningful usage of the term."

I can have my cousin or nephew in Arizona buy me a Taurus 1911, and transfer it to me in California and it should be legal correct?

Nope.

(3) As used in this subdivision, "immediate family member" means
any one of the following relationships:
(A) Parent and child.
(B) Grandparent and grandchild.

just remember that Taurus 1911's are likely the most problematic 1911's out there...I'd suggest a Rock Island before a Taurus...and they're cheaper

Just pay for the single shot exemption.

I was considering the SS polished Taurus with the rail -

But went with the RIA Tac instead...

reason why i want the taurus 1911 is because i've read a lot of good reviews on the stainless steel w/ gold trim on buds, since it's only $500 i can take a chance and see how it really performs. i can always sell it later if i don't like it. just the gun in itself is sexy as hell.

Why would you want a Taurus 1911?

Brazilian?

It would be legal for your cousin to transfer it to his dad, who would transfer it to your Grandad, who would transfer it to your dad, who could transfer it to you. Not the easiest route, SSE is much easier IMO.

I have one and it eats any ammo I have given it

sure its not a les baer but bang for the buck not a bad gun.

So you save a couple hundred up front that you're going to blow through trying to get it to work correctly anyway.

I haven't done any thing but clean it and shoot it.

A friend had a Taurus 1911. It's an entry level 1911 with a lot of popular features for a relatively low price. The problem is that internally they are not put together well. When my friend had his partially apart to install a new Mainspring housing, he found some of the holes were not lined up properly. There were also shims in there.

The 1911 is a pistol that is a joy to shoot when it is manufactured and set up correctly. If the parts are not fitted together properly it has the potential to be a black hole for time and money. Taurus unfortunately is dogged by spotty quality control. Honestly, save up for a better version of the design.

My friend ended up dumping his Taurus 1911 and hated that he ever bought one.

OP your idea is fail any way you look at it. You will regret going through this much trouble for that gun.

Buy a SA 1911 or a colt or something good and you will have no hastle and a great fire arm. Every Taurus 1911 I know of has been nothing but trouble.

Taurus 1911 or take the same amount of cash and flush it...Get a RIA tac and be done with it.

[thisgsx]

That's what everyone's saying, but so far, the reviews with the taurus have all been positive.
