Am I missing something? I read the posts and it appears that everyone likes their Taurus handguns very much. Along comes Taurus offering their version of a 1911 and all of a sudden it is as if Taurus has developed leprosy! IMHO, my Taurus 1911 is a firearm worth MUCH more than the asking price. To get a SA 1911 with all of the "custom" features the Taurus 1911 has you would have to pay a bundle! And I do mean a bundle!
That was my understanding about the PT1911. For just a little more than a milspec Springfield you can get the Taurus with $2000 worth of "aftermarket gunsmith upgrades"
