    I have a chance to get a Taurus 1911 brand new for about $550. What kind of reliability/accuracy can I expect from this sexy piece? Is it something you would recommend?

      Good price for a 1911 with all the features included. I would buy one if it was on the list here in CA.

      I'd buy it if I was there.

        head over to m1911.org and check other taurus owner's reviews of the pistol (in the taurus sub-forum)... most seem to have good luck with theres while several have been plagued with problems.

                  Yea, that darn list. At least XCR doesn't have to worry about that, she lives in a free state.

                    Taurus makes good handguns. Their Beretta knock-offs are better than the real thing.

                    I'd get a PT1911 for that price.

                      Not saying what you should do, just putting it out there. Looks like a cool 1911.
                      Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction...

                        No, no XCR. Just too pricey - even if I bought it at cost, I would want all the delicious accessories and would end up with a $2.5k rifle instead of an $800 one. lol.

                        I really like handguns best. Someday I would like to do some long range rifle classes. Until then, I'll go with what I've got.

                        Call me silly, but Desert Eagles are the sexiest things out there.

                            I really like the Taurus PT1911. If we could get it in CA, I would already have one

                            Pick it up and if you decide to come back to CA and sell it, look me up
