Thinking of getting a Taurus PT 1911. It was my father-in-laws and and my mother-in-law wants to sell it. My father-in-law loved it and shot it some but not a lot. I see many mixed reviews. I want to give her what it's worth and used prices seem inconsistent. Any good advice? Thanks.....

The PT 1911 isn't bad to be honest, a friend picked one up middle of last year for his first 1911, and aside from the finish not being the best, he's been very happy with it.
Trigger wasn't bad at all for an out of the box piece, more accurate then he is, out the door for a NIB PT1911 w/rail in his case was just under $680 - don't know if that's good or not, but that's what he spent for his.

I just got the pt1911 in 9mm and so far I love it. Can't wait to get another actually.
I think 4-450 would be a great price for a used one. Maybe a little less/maybe a little more.

jac43k - My comment on the finish was in regards to the actual finish applied to the gun, my friend's PT1911 has gotten light oxidation on the frame where the webbing of his hand rides on the back of the frame, and a few small spots on the slide where he left his fingerprints before he put it away for a month or so.
Aside from that there's been no issues or complaints at all.

I've only had mine for just about a month. When I got it home it was caked with oil took sometime to clean.

I've had mine for about a year now. I've posted several times about how happy I am with it. My only complaint is the ugly Taurus engraving on the slide. I recently replaced the grips with some custom wooden ones and it really improved the feel more than I expected. It's been very reliable, shoots accurately and really doesn't need to be upgraded. It won't make people envy you at the range, but it will shoot well, and be a nice reliable 1911.
