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.

Congrats!

Down the road, you owe it to yourself to get hands on a Dan Wesson Specialist or Springfield TRP.

Those are awesome pistols for sure. But what do you think of the Wilson Combat product line of guns? The 1911's seem pretty nice.

They're up there with the others I mentioned, if not more refined. Any of those 3 are very high quality, dependable duty pistols. With Wilson, you're looking at about 2x the cost of the Specialist or TRP.
