Gun was exactly what I was looking for. No failures with it so far after few hundred rounds. The shipping was extremely fast and no issues whatsoever. Will buy from buds again in the future.

It’s ok, the ambidextrous safety keeps separating and has to be pressed back together. Other than that, it shoots good.

Best pricing I have seen! Purchased many guns with Buds and will always be a faithful customer- You can't do better than Buds:)

The gun shot reliably. Never once has it jammed. The finish is absolutely terrible. I touched the gun when I first got it and put it back in its case. I opened the case 2 couple of days later and it was rusted everywhere my fingers had touched it. The machining and the fit of the gun was very good. I ended up duracoating it.

Awesome 45 but had to sell it due to the long wait of my HQL here in Maryland and licenses I do and don't need as a Former United States Marine. Smh at Maryland

I wanted a 1911 but didn't want to have to sell a kidney. I did hours of research between the cheapest 1911 manufacturers and Taurus seemed to be the best quality for money spent. They have their own 1911 shop dedicated to the platform. I've had my 1911 for a year now. The case you get with your purchase is great quality and includes a tool for take down and nice thick padding cut out to fit your gun and 3 magazines. Mine only came with one but any 1911 mag will fit the Taurus and they're relatively inexpensive. I've only put a few hundred rounds through her but she eats everything well, out of maybe 4-500 rounds maybe 3 or 4 stove pipes and 1 not in battery and that's after shooting awhile. Not bad being a 1911 with little tolerance between slide and frame. There is basically no wiggle in the slide and frame and the barrel doesn't wiggle at all. That's how well they're put together. I don't lube as much as I should either so it could be me and my girl limp wristing. The finish is where they cheaped out a bit. Although it's very eye appealing it does suffer holster wear quickly, expected with a budget pistol. I'm going to cerakote mine eventually. That is my only complaint. Easily scratched but that doesn't bother me, my guns don't walk the runway they're for using and having fun. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one or recommend. If they're ever in stock again grab it quick you won't be disappointed.

exactly as was described, has decent heft and feels great in the hands. Shipping was fast. Slight feeding issues on the first round of the magazine but all other rounds feed fine.

Very nice firearm worth the money

Very tight out of the box. Got a couple jams on first 20 rounds. Sprayed a little lube in it and then worked like a champ. Love it 😍

It's a little tricky to disassemble but not as much as it is tricky to assemble do to having to use a tool... and also when I purchased it on the description it says heine sight 8 but it's a 3 dot not a 8 so kinda disappointed there other then that it looks great feels good.

The Taurus 1911FS PT1911 was just what I was looking for. It was tha perfect 1911 for me at the right price. I have fired about 100rds through it so far with out a hitch. It is feature packed and didn’t cause me to get run out of the house for spending to much money. The gun it accurate and has become my new favorite. It came packed in a nice case with a trigger lock a barrel bushing tool and one magazine. I have heard others talk about a bore brush, but mine did not come with one. The case has a spot for it in the foam, but it was not there.
Bud’s was fast to ship I ordered it on a Sunday night and my FLL called me Wednesday morning to tell me it was in.
I would recommend this pistol for anyone looking for a great shooting 1911 that will keep you and the Wife happy.

Awesome weapon. Hands down

I’ve owned her for about 2 years and put over 700 through. Many types of ammo and nary a problem. It’s cycled wolf... so she’s fine. The finish has held up beautifully and I don’t bang my arms. Feels good in the hand and is probably my best shooter accuracy wise.

When compared with the "biggies" in 1911 manufacture, this beast has pretty much every feature always wanted/needed since it was first conceived. Having put a couple hundred rounds through this wonderful, quality pistol, I have experienced zero failures. It IS very accurate when I do my part, and at defensive ranges, out to seven yards, fast recovery is excellent to put the next four center mass of target. Yeah, I usually prefer "pretty" guns with high polish, but for under five bills, "ain't" nothing even close for the value!

I am quite happy with this purchase. Good heft and fires flawlessly. So far it has eaten everything I've fed it. Field strips quite simply, but it does require a hex key to remove a screw. The key is included. This is one of my two rotation EDCs.
I would recommend that you check the sights after putting 50 or so rounds through it. It doesn't appear to be a common thing, but my rear sight kept working loose. It was sent back to the factory and they replaced the rear sight, getting it back to me in less than three weeks. No troubles since. According to the notes the original rear sight was out of spec so wouldn't properly tighten.
Bud's (Lexington, KY) took care of everything for me. Excellent service and everyone is so helpful. A pleasure to do business with.

I picked up this beauty from Buds 3/09/19 in Lexington after using their Law-away plan. Dude, that place is nice and staff very helpful. About the Taurus 1911, what a great firearm. Got it home and just admired the darn thing. I put 50 rounds of federal fmj and 8 rounds of hollow point thru it... no issues what-so-ever. The next day I put an additional 100 reds thru it and still not one singe issue. I'm highly impress with the 1911 and also with Buds Guns Shop. Matter of fact, I have 2 other firearms in layaway. Keep up the great work Buds.

For the price very good quality very tight tolerances love the Novak sights and all the features this pistol has. Only negative I can think of is the finish on the pistol looks very bad but since I was going to cerakote it anyways it’s not a big deal for me I would definitely purchase again.

Received in a timely manor, in excellent condition. Ran 50 rounds of the cheapest ammo through it I could get aluminum case ammo. Worked perfectly with no issues, or malfunctions. Thought 45 acp might have been a little to much for me to handle, but found it was not. And for me found it to be accurate, did not seem much more than the 9mm I shot just before this one. I love the pistol, works wonderfully for me. Need another one since I am ambidextrous in shooting. I would recommend this to others I've had good luck with the Taurus's I have, love them all.

Taurus PT 1911 Pistol came when promised. Operates and shoots great. Sights are lousy. Tiny metric setscrew and dovetails milled too large. Shot 10 rounds and front sight was loose. Set screw would not tighten. There is a hole for the setscrew but it is in the middle of dovetail and does not allow drift adjustments and th pistol shot right. 30 rounds and the rear sight was loose. Also would not tighten. CalledTaurus and a nice young lady agreed to ship a new set of sights at no charge. Have not arrived so I tried to tighten dovetail with punch. Almost got it dialed in with Blazers and the front sight came off. Will wait on the new sights and try Lctite. Pistol short stroked a few cheap rounds- probably my shooting grip. Love the pistol- hate the sights. Kinda like my Harbor Freight drill press - great press, needs a better chuck. I

This is one of the best shooting 45s I've fired in a long time! It was just as accurate as match grade 1911s I've shot in the past! I bought a second one for a spare! Highly recommend this one!

For the money its a good buy if you're looking for a reasonable 1911. Seems well built, heft of a solid 1911, nice sights and lots of firepower. Can't go wrong.
