Great item. Love it! Great service.

Great gun! Looking for another one!

This 1911 is by far best gun for any amount of money. Same for bud's

WOW! ive never ever seen a better looking and performing gun anywhere. I teach ccw training with my father and i am constantly offered 700-800 bucks for it, but i think this ones a keeper even at double what i paid. Its unfortunate that this gun is unavailable everywhere in 45acp anyways, as i know a few people that really would love one after shooting mine.

Gorgeous, as expected, and for only $504, this is an amazing gun! It truly was when I received it. Took it out of the box, cleaned off all the cosmoline and went out and shot it. This gun fed everything I put through it...from reloads, to standard factory loads to hotter factory loads. Excellent balance, excellent trigger, good overall feel. I like everything about it!!! This 1911 performed as it was meant to and .....will give a Colt or Kimber...both costing much more.... a run for their money any day! Thank you Taurus for building a decent 1911 and, in conjunction with Bud's, making it available at this price.

very good gun. no problem so far after about 300 rounds. great deal considring they dont maKE this model anymore.

Well I think I got the very last one of these beauties off layaway. For the price, they can’t be beat. The pistol comes in a decent case with an extra mag so no complaints there. It was COVERED in grease, but hey, who cares because when I took it apart and cleaned it up that SS had a mirror finish. I put some Pearl white grips on mine and now I look like a Columbian Cartel drug lord. I got a lot of attention at the range and had a couple of guys wanted to know if I would sell it for $600. So I guess I got a pretty good deal. It’s a good shooter as well. The trigger is pretty darn crisp. Its no Les Baer or Kimber, but I was holding respectable groups and only spent a third of the price. If these ever come up again snatch them up as they are well worth it. Very pretty pistol. Thanks BUDS for the layaway program. My wife hates you, but I’ll love you guys forever. Haha!

I had been wanting to get a 1911 for a while and I had pretty much decided on a Taurus, this model became available and I decided to pull the trigger on it. It was not the one I wanted specifically but at the price point it was going for I decided I would be crazy not to buy and I figured I could sell it for what I paid for it. I finally got to go shooting with it and it shoots sweet. I'm very pleased with it. I only got to put 50 rounds through it all 230 gr FMJ but not a single hickup. Want to spend more time with it after the first of the year and try some different ammo with it and maybe get my reloading bench going. But that's a separate subject. I nearly did not buy from Buds. Their VIP program icon kept showing up on the item page and I don't feel that the program is worthwhile, but mostly a way of creating 2 classes of customers. I did not need any of what they offer and there was another source for the pistol I could have bought from for a comparable price, but decided to stick with Buds. But the service was not as good as when I bought my XDM. I dont order that many guns but I think that it took a lot longer to ship than my previous experience. But the 1911 is fantastic.

Super fast delivery, will do business again. The gun itself looks great better than the pictures. I cleaned and oiled it up and will soon range test it. After reading alll the reviews I could find, I'm sure it will be great.

I think I got one of the last of these. As usual, the service from Bud's was excellent. The fit and finish are incredible. In many ways it is superior to my Para 1911. The tolerances are extremely tight and the trigger breaks right at 4 lbs. This is one hell of value. It also shoots as good as it looks. If you're shooting low and to the left, you might want to look at your grip and shooting technique before messing with the sights. Taurus tests their firearms for accuracy at the factory.
