Thanks for the warm welcome!
I love it! I tried several different rented guns at Continental and On Target
over the last few months, and I was leaning toward a 1911. To make the final
decision I tried a Sig P226 (.40 cal) and a 1911 on the same day at On Target.
It just happened to be a Taurus 1911, and I was getting much tighter groups
with it than I was with the .40. Plus, it felt nicer in my hand.
When I saw the model I wanted at the September show (blue with rail) at a good
price I bought it.
It was great! I fired around 75 rounds, 4 different types of FMJ (including some
milsurp dated 1963 that I bought at the show), and 3 different types of JHP. I had
no malfunctions whatsoever.
My wife was with me, and she fired a handgun for the first time in her life. We
rented a 22 revolver for her to start with, and we took turns (she with the 22 and
me with the 1911). When we were finished I asked her if she wanted to try the Taurus
before we left. She was a little nervous but she did it. She had quite a bit of
movement from the recoil and I was expecting it to jam, but she fired 8 rounds
with no problems.
This was my last group of the day. It was a full mag, so there's 6 touching in the
center and two off by themselves. I'm still a beginner, so I'm sure it would
have been much better in more experienced hands.

Welcome form Westmisnter! And thank you for your service.
I've shot the Taurus and loved it. One of the RO's at Hap Baker is a big fan of the gun so you'll have someone to talk to if you go there
.
Check out TaurusArmed.net if you haven't already. Great site for all things Taurus and they even have a forum dedicated to the 1911 for hints and tips.
And since I shoot at Hapy Baker, come up and say hi to the fat guy in the Steeler's cap!
