RE: 1911-style Taurus?
I just saw this pistol on TV where they were showing it at the shot show. You're right
now as soon as I can wipe the drool off my face, I'm calling the gun shop and order one.
Looks very nice. Stainless, ambidexterous safety (which is good for us leftys), good sights, and a bunch of other offerings. Taurus rep stated that they have about $800 in what you would pay in custom work into these pistols at a MSRP of $499.
