Anyone have a Taurus? I've been looking at one, reviews seem pretty good.
Taurus ones are in lines with the cheaper 1911 RIA, Springfield, etc.

It is tough to beat a 1911 built to original GI specs. The only modification would be throating the barrel if you plan on using hollow points.
Did you mean to say he bought a SR1911, or did you perhaps confuse the two?
The SR45 is a striker fired, polymer frame pistol, same family as the SR9 and SR40.
It may be a great pistol and worthy of discussion, but has nothing in common with a 1911 (except that it shoots .45acp) and not really relevant to OP's question.
Sounds like a great guy.... my Dad is 83 and looks and acts 60-something as well.
If money was not a concern, what brand of 1911 would you trust your life with? Yes, I’m aware there are more reliable platforms out there, but humor me. I just have a love of the 1911 and its history. It is pure Americana.
ok I laughed at the Chuck Norris reference. awesome!!!
I’m surprised there are no votes for Dan Wesson so far. I think DW would have been my vote after WC. I love both my Specialist and Silverback. My Valor was nice too, but I sold it to finance a WC.
One of the things that seems to be coming out of this thread is that no matter what particular brand of 1911 pistol various people have experience with, they all seem to be ok - no one outright said, "I had [insert manufacturer here] 1911 and it was pure garbage!"
wilson is really the only thing i've seen that is 100%. but even when i had some of those, still had a glock 31 at my bedside. i see a few nighthawk votes but of the only three i've seen, two had to go back. i had a baer for a little bit but it was way too tight from the factory and didn't cycle 100%, ain't my job to break in a gun i just pd several thousand for, so i sold it.
You forgot Cabot Guns http://cabotgun.com/oak-collection/the-big-bang-pistol-set/#1
I mean if you can make a matched pair from a meteor ...
Out of my price range. Of the 1911s I’ve owned, I thought the Springfield was the most reliable.
Actually.... there is a member here, can't recall the name, who had quite a bad experience with a Kimber and he's usually been quick to jump on every 'which1911...' thread.
I've been wondering why he hasn't chimed in yet.... maybe sitting in an idling car on a cul-de-sac parked in front of a haunted house frantically trying to find his collector letter in the glove box.
Yeah, I thought of them, but after I posted the poll. I’ve never seen one in person though.
