Eyeballing them. Anyone have experience with them?
For a toy or defense?
If you don't mind supporting the POSs at Springfield that is another good way to go.
I have 1911’s that run from the Taurus to 3k customs. The Taurus eats everything. It’s been a fucking rock and I’m surprised. Would buy.
good luck tit head. if your tractor had a back hoe Id trade my 1911 and a case of 45
Ruger SR1911, I picked up a slightly used, stainless, commander, safe queen, from a retired gun dealer acquaintance for $500. That was without a box and only 1 mag.
I'm a Taurus bigot, not a fan. I know it's a totally different firearm, but we own a first gen Millennium Pro 9mm, and it's the pickiest damned thing. I mean, what won't shoot white box Winchester? I'll tell you what, a Millennium Pro... Hard pass on the Taurus.
I may be a hypocrite and own a Judge some day, hard to justify S&W's premium price for their Governor vs. the Judge, but that's about the only caveat to my ban on Taurus.
Waiting for ma compliant sig nightmare carry to become available. Never really cared for Taurus. As said, I would spend more coin now and have no regrets. What is your local shop? Pete’s in north Adams is a great place and will get you whatever you want. They live in VT.
Bid on a Rock Island on gun broker. My go to gun shop closed, the others in the area have strange hours. Some other good ones in the state, just need time to get there.
I like .45's, I have .45's... but a full 5" barrel I would literally just leave in the nightstand. For defense that I am going to carry with me, it is a 3" revolver or a small and lite .380/ 9mm. But hey, that's me and we all have preferences.
That being said, theres no greater joy than a .45 1911 or 1911A1. Good ol American Steel. Springfield would get my vote! Even the typical old US GI version kicks butt.
