Did a bit of horse trading with a local guy and will be bringing a Taurus PT1911 home tomorrow. Got my new scope on the Contender so I believe both of them need a trip to the range this weekend. My wife and grandson got to play last time. Now it's Daddys turn.

I bought one of the Taurus 1911's last year for a carry gun and to date it has performed flwlessly. When I first got it it got 200 rounds through it rapid fire and never skipped a beat. The finish wore of from a Kydex holster, but I didn't buy it for the finish. I wouldn't hesitate to trust my life and my loved ones to it.

Went to the range with mine this afternoon and am very pleased with it. The gun will shoot better than I can. The straight eight sights took a bit of getting used to but after a short time I could keep em in about a two inch group in the bullseye at 25 paces. I think that'll do just fine for home and truck protection. It's the AR model so now I gotta get me a snap on fixture to hold my Streamlight when I hear a bump in the night.
