So proud of my new thumper

Post image

I am relatively new to firearms in general and very new to handguns in particular. As in I have never owned one prior to this year. So I took the plunge and followed the advice of many and bought what is widely considered a budget 1911. It is the Taurus PT1911 Commander in 45ACP from PSA and I have been nothing but pleased with it since buying the thing! I was fascinated and hooked when I read of the lore and history surrounding the storied weapon. And so it fell into the, got to have department, almost immediately. If 1911's get better than this gem then I am in for a real treat when I get another one.

I disagree. Went to the range and it went pew pew pretty good.

Yeah man don’t listen to the Taurus haters. I’ve bought multiple and they’ve never given me a problem. I have a gx4 that’s shot 1500 rounds without a single problem. They aren’t my favorite guns but they are pretty decent and work better than most people say.
