I just received my slide and sights back from the Taurus factory. When I shot my brand new stainless Taurus 1911 for the first time, the impact was eighteen inches high at 65 yards away. It still shot high at closer ranges. It took about three months for the factory to settle on the problem. Turn around took about three weeks and they replaced the rear sight. It’s dead on right now and I’m very pleased with the accuracy. It was hitting an inch at 20 feet away and sights were on target too.
The grip safety is still a little touchy. I have to take some metal off so I don’t have to squeeze so hard.
Also I want the fatter grips since I have large hands.
I’m very please with the pistol. I just wish they wouldn’t have written so much stuff on the side of the slide. I wanted to give it a high polish and I can’t without erasing some of the writing.
Mine has been great out of the box - the only thing I don’t like about it is when I put it back together after cleaning getting the barrel bushing squared away is tough.
The only hard part about mine was getting it: the doofus gun dealer I dealt with initially said that it did not exist. Even printing a web page and taking it to him didn’t get it to sink in, so I got it elsewhere and have written the guy off forever.
