[QUOTE="JD8, post: 918150, member: 24"] Taurus PT1911s have a history of small part problems. They have had a significant number of thumb safeties break or fall out. Olyeller had an ejector fall out into his hand and..... the biggest gripe with me is their hammer lock. Of which there have been reports of this lawyer lock turning the gun into a single shot. No 1911 should have a hammer lock, period, end of story. Para has even MORE reported proprietary problems than Taurus. Out of all the guns mentioned if this was used for personal defense and you don't want a polymer gun, then look at the SA Mil-specs (if you can find one) which is a little step up from the GI model. SA uses forgings and RIA uses extrusions. FWIW, lots of smiths use the SA's as base guns. [/QUOTE]
