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.

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.

I found budsgunshop while browsing the internet, and I am glad I did. This is an amazing gun. Not too heavy, and the kick isn't bad either. The slide was very stiff, but after I cleaned the shipping oil off, it is very smooth. Shoots low left out of the box, so I had to adjust the sight. Everybody that I have shown the 1911 to have loved it and asked where I found it at. I have a Taurus .357 revolver that I love, now I have a Taurus .45 1911 that I love as well. Taurus makes wonderful guns.

Absolutely the best firearm I have purchased. It is not only a very good looking gun but shoots without a hitch. After receiving the pistol, I did a thorough cleaning. The next day I took the gun to the range. After getting used to the feel of the gun I placed 5 rounds into about a 1 1/4 inch grouping. Overall, between me and a couple of my friends put about 200 rounds through this pistol. This Taurusl is well worth the $525 I paid for it. Bud's is the best gun shop to deal with. Many thanks Buds Gun Shop.

AWESOME! This gun was everything I hoped for in my first gun

AMAZING GUN FOR THE PRICE! I took this firearm to the local range and you can not imagine the oooh's and ahhh's I received. I had gentlemen with 1000 dollar + colt and para 1911's literally drooling. I first tested the gun with 50 rounds of Wislon white boc FMJ's...no malfunctions! Ok, next it was time to test my favorite self defense round, the Federal HST in .45. I have had friends who have far more expensive firearms act up with the ammo, so I was definetly expecting a few malfunctions...50 rounds later and I left the range with a smile on my face...It loved the jacketed hollow points, and I had no issues. The firearm consistently produced solid 2-3 inch groups that seemed an inch or two to the left at 15 yards, but that is considering im not some pro shooter, and I am used to shooting a way lighter Glock 21. The next weekend I went to the range again witha few Chip 10rd power mags and I was just as pleased. They seem to fit tighter than the Taurus O.E.M. magazines, but other then that they worked in this firearm like a dream...and now the firearm holds 10+1 cocked and locked! Get this gun while you can, its an unbeatable bargain considering all of the features, functionality, not to mention the pure beauty of the gold against a polished stainless steel finish. Oh, and like others have mentioned, yes the gun comes packed in grease, but it quickly wipes clean to a brilliant shine.

Great looking, great shooting, and fun gun. I love it. The ease of buying and delivery were awesome. Will surely buy more guns from Buds.

Super fast delivery, will do business again. The gun itself is definitely worth the 504. You guys better hop on this deal while you can before their gone. This gun looks and shoots like a dream. Thanks buds, you guys are top notch!

BEAUTIFUL gun. I put Tombstone grips in a capaccino finish with gold silver stars on each side. It is absolutely stunning. The grouping were consistently left out of the box. I used a laser bore sight and squared it away. As it's the AR I picked up a laser/flashlight for $35 on ebay that fits it perfect. Lined up the bore and rail lasers to perfect at ten yards. Spots are lower than the sight picture should be. I'll take it back to the range and test the laser spotting. First time out I put a couple hundred rounds through without any problems. I have three mags and love the load assisters. Big thumb saver-so I can give two giant thumbs up for this flawless piece of art! Buy it, you will not regret this.

A++ pistol. Came with the case, 2 mags, lock keys, tool, brush.. just a great gun. First 1911 I have bought and I want another one just like it. Smooth action.....shoots like a dream.feels like it belongs in your hand...Got my order in about 7-9 days...everything went great... this is the 7th gun I have bought from Buds and they all have been great.

I ordered this gun on a Saturday and received it the following Thursday. I'm pretty happy with its performance for the most part. The only issue is the magazine doesn't catch inside the gun well -- when it's fully loaded -- unless I slap it in. I've been told this is common with 1911s, but my friend doesn't seem to experience this with his Sig 1911. Nevertheless, I'm still very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.

This purchase could not have been better, even tho I made a mistake on my order and failed to indicate a FFL. Even with that error Bud's electronic customer service corrected it and shipped my new 1911 on schedule. The firearm itself is awesome, I could not be happier or more excited. This is a fantastic deal and I personally love all the gold trim. I believe this firearm is destined to become a collectors item. I am considering a 2nd one, my wife liked mine also.

This gun is a beauty and the priced right.

This gun is absolutely amazing !! Its extremely accurate strait out of the box. The trigger pull is really light and the felt recoil is less than my XDM 9mm. I put 100 rounds down range and it functioned flawlessly. The finish is beautiful and cleans up like a breeze. This is definitely my new favorite gun. If you buy any other gun I would recommend to get this one. If I could I would give this gun 10 stars.

wow these 5 star reviews don't give the gun the justice it deserves I finally got a chance to shoot it after months of staring at it and just awesome fired perfect and cleans up great. Great service great gun

Lets just say after reading the reviews, I mulled this one over for a good 7 seconds before pulling the trigger. Buds was fast, my FFL was fast and I put 100 rounds through it after i took it home for a bath. Covered in grease as expected, so customers should be familiar with how to field strip. This is the envy of all my 1911 owner friends who love the way it shoots and are in LOVE with how it looks.
