[QUOTE="grwd, post: 1279494, member: 459"] OK, got that out of the way, with all seriousness, That review reads just like gun rag trash. [B]this guy knows the sham-wow guy. Really well.[/B] For all intents and purposes, the PT 1911 is assembled with what we in the U.S. would call a “custom shop” approach. [B] This type of jargon from a sales person is what I call "horsedump". Not every thing in "quotations" means its true.[/B] [B]ok, Ill give em this one. Ive seen a lot of sh!tty guns at some matches.[/B] The forged match-grade barrels (stainless on both the blued and stainless guns) are also individually fitted, with a polished feedramp, polished barrel throat, an air-gauged solid barrel bushing, plus a hardened barrel link and lug for long wear and an enduring fit in heavy-duty use. Each PT 1911 hammer/sear/trigger setup is individually fitted and tuned, receiving a U.S. gunshop-equivalent “trigger job.” The internal extractor is individually tuned. There are no “drop-in” parts. [B] If anyone who's looking for their first 1911 can tell me what all that stuff means and why its good, Ill build them a gun.[/B] [B]This is what you would call anywhere from an outright lie to stretching the truth. Depending on their definition of "fitting".[/B] yay for taurus. To answer your question, its not a bad entry level gun if youre willing to live with cheaply made and ill-fitted custom like parts. Its not the deal of the century either, not even close. A STI Spartan is a better starter 1911. [/QUOTE]
