My first budget 1911. No problems with it. A great product from Taurus. Buds service it's perfect

Wow! Impressed with the full size 1911 from Taurus. Solid. Just absolutely a solid pistol. Ran 100 rounds of Blazer FMJ and although had expectation of JHP not running so well until after break in I ran another 25 Sig Elite JHP with not a single issue. I did find the 1911 shoots a bit low which I found from searching online is not all that unusual and should expect this to come up with more use. To tell the truth the adjustment was easy to get stellar groupings at 7, 15, and 25 yards. Will try a bit lighter ammo next range visit as some guns do better with lighter rounds in my experience and could see improvement from this small change. All and all, thrilled with my purchase and Bud’s was easy to work with. The shipping to Lexington store pickup took less than a week (6 days / 4 business days) which isn’t bad although my antsy pants must have checked my order status online once every 15 min over that 6 day span, lol. Pickup was easy, less than 10min once a free agent was available, and picked up several boxes of ammo for around $15 cheaper per box of 50 than my local range. If you’re on the fence, jump landing on the side of getting this Taurus 1911. You won’t regret it.

Now this beast here is top of the line with tactical extras! More bang for your buck! I can shoot any ammo absolutely no jams. I definitely recommend the Taurus 1911 45ACP for all your protection needs!

Nicest Taurus I've owned. Fit and finish is good, shoots straight, no jambs. I ran all kinds of ammo through it (even steel) no jambs.

I have owned 2 of these 1911s over yhe past 5 years and they shoot absolutely flawless out the box. The features you get for the price you pay is worth it. My only complaint is the finish is garbage. The edges will wear down within a few months of carry. Other than that its a great gun.

Seems to be a good gun so far. Quality is good, my only critique would be that the tolerances aren't very tight. If you shake the gun you hear it "wiggle" a bit because of the loose fitting. Still a descent gun worth the money.

Hi, The gun presented well,as the fit & finish were great, at this price point. I was disappointed in the Trigger pull, which measured a little over 5 lbs. Also, the white dot sights were dull & hard to use at 25 yards. In order t get the gun to fire ,as a great range gun, I changed the sights to 3 Dot Fiber Green, & put a Trigger kit in it, which converted it back from a series 80 to series 70 by eliminating the firing pin safety, removed the cast internals & hammer allowing the gun,now, to fire with a crisp 31/2 lb. trigger pull. Total expense to convert a nice gun to a great one, about $175.00. I feel, that at this price point, this is a very good buy...

My favorite of the 3 Taurus pistols . Super accurate not as much kick as you would think tons of knock down lead. A little to much for conceal although I do own 2 UnderTech Underwear
vest/shirts that it fits in nicely and can't tell it's there with a sport coat or any coat for that matter just a little heavy.. Good looking and sweet to shoot.
Thanks
Kenny

Taurus claims that this pistol is the one that all 1911s will be compared against. I don't see that happening- especially with Taurus' record for spotty quality control. I will say that the particular pistol that I received has performed flawlessly with pretty damned good accuracy and no FTF or FTE issues and the trigger is not overly heavy as I've read about on some PT-1911s. If you're looking for something comparable to Springfield or Kimber's upper echelon guns then you're going to be somewhat disappointed. For the price, however, I really can't say that I have too much to complain about- LOL!!!

Great 1911 for the price! Works well and no issues after 200+ rounds through it.

I have always been a Taurus owner and this 1911 is exactly the quality I expected. Shipping was fast will use buds more

Taurus 1911B-1 pt 45 came dirty cleaned it . When to gun range shot 200 rounds no jams shot flawlessly, surprisingly accurate. Easy shooter.

This is an amazing gun and I’ve had only one problem with it which was as easy as swapping an extractor. After looking at many reviews both positive and negative I decided to get this along with a Wilson Combat Bulletproof Series 80 Extractor as the factory extractor is of a low quality. After I’ve changed it I’ve had absoulutly zero problems. No jams or anything. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a lower budget. Note: This gun is of a much better quality than other Taurus firearms and the only reason people hate on it is because Taurus has had a bad reputation in the past.

This is my second purchase from Bud's. Great service. Yep days after I ordered it I had it in my hands. My first impression on the firearm was it was solid and well made. Everything functioned properly. There was a slight scuff on the slide, but no biggy. After 100 rds of rn the rear sight became loose. The supplied Allen wrench was too small. The next size up wrench did nothing. The sight could not 6be tightened or loosened. I'll probably just take it to the local gunsmith and have it back in a few days than ship it to Taurus and be without it for 3 months. Everything else was great. The firearm is very accurate and ate the first 100 rds without a hiccup. I'm pleased with that but the rear sight issue is a bummer. Nice gun for the money though.

Awesome 1911 have had my fair share of 1911s and this is one of my new favorites. Buds delivered fast also. I received the 1911 before I ever received the email.

I have no issues with the gun. Service was fast shipped out the same day that I purchased it and got it in 2 business days. Good job Buds! I am really enjoying my new toy. This was the first time I had ordered anything from buds and now I know I can trust them with my future orders. Thanks!!

Very happy with the gun and Bud's on this one. This is my first purchase with Bud's and everything was easy and smooth. They also had the best price around and I found the reviews helpful. I like the fact that you can give them a check and they treat it like cash. The gun was dirty like all the reviews said but other than that what a nice 1911 for the money. I am very happy with it. I have not shot it yet but I see no reason why it will not be a accurate and long lasting gun. The fit and finish is as not amazing as they claim but this not a high dollar 1911. It is what it says it is. A great shooting reliable gun. I would recommend the gun to anyone looking for a great entry level 1911

There is no way I could have gotten or expected any better service than I got from Bud's I ordered my pistol around 9:30 am on monday morning and roughly 12:30 pm tuesday afternoon I got a call from the FFL dealer I used to ship it to called and when I saw who was calling I thought OH NO!!! What happened now well to my surprise my pistol was there waiting on me to come pick it up. The only way it could have been faster would have been if I bought it out of the display case at the FFL dealer. I like good service and Bud's has been excellent with both of my purchases from them when I get ready to make my next purchase Bud's will be the first place I go shopping. They have more than earned my business and I appreciate good business practises and service. I don't usually give a five star rating because there is usually room for improvement but in this case I couldn't findn it

Good pistol. Shoots every time, no Jam ups at all. It even feeds hollow points well. Only problem was the rear sight was loose to where i can move with my fingers.

Pretty nice shooter so far. Do not regret buying but need some more time with it. PROS: I've only put 100 rounds through the gun, but no hangups at all. The gun has a great feel and weight of a typical 1911 and looks tactical and sexy. Action is smooth as butter and nothing seems to wobble or is loose. No paint imperfections that I could find with the gun. Came with two magazines and a gun lock that restricts the hammer with a key. CONS: Only two issues I have noticed thus far. The sights came with an allen wrench that instantly stripped itself on the sight screw while adjusting the rear sight, and I couldn't get the front sight out at all. Now my rear sight is loose and I cannot tighten it and will have to take it in or buy some allen wrenches before shooting again. The second issue is where the metal is joined under the beaver tail where the webbing of your thumb and pointer finger meet. It isn't filed down or flush so it stabs/cuts the webbing with every shot. I only noticed this towards the end of shooting the first 100 rounds, and I am considering my options as I don't want to have to file down and repaint this location.

I'm a little disappointed that the PT1911 I ordered have some finish wear right behind the ejection port. It should have been listed as blemished and for a discounted price. Otherwise, the gun shoots great! It's got some heft in it and feels like a tank. For the price with all the features and buds with their lightning-fast shipping, I can look past the blemish and call it a win!

Best price around. Fast shipping. The PT1911 arrived in great condition. Gave it a good cleaning and went to the range. Shot flawlessly and great shot groups right out of the box. I have purchased several firearms from Bud' s and have always had a good experienc.
