The grammar police thank you for your timely intervention.Could HAVE bought........
Grammar lesson for the day.
Too many times poor grammar or misspelled words destroy the continuity of a member's thought.
Sometimes it's like, "wtf is he trying to say?"
Thank you! You and your wife have a very special Holiday season.
God bless you both.
It's not what it starts out to be with a Taurus 1911. It's what you end up with after the upgrades that speaks to me. I have done a few PT1911's, A Remington R1 Hunter 10 mm long slide and a Tisas one as well. I shouldn't have sold that Tisas. That gun turned out sweet after I was done. From replacing the vital internals to peeing the slide rails. Peening slide rails only if it is worn and develops a bit of play between the frame and slide. It will do the trick for all I need it for. I like the PT1911 not for what it is from the factory but the potential that gun possess. The forged frame, slide and hammer forged barrel is all I am concerned with and sets the stage for the rebuild. To tell you the truth it was the fact I already know how to fool with this gun and the low price is why I chose it. I like a gun much better if I can get inside and rework everything. Gives me a goal and something to do.
My R1 Hunter 10 mm long slide wouldn't even get through a mag without jamming 2 or 3 times. Last time we took it out we put 200-250 rounds through it flawlessly. The Wilson Combat and Ed Brown parts had to be fitted but it's what the gun is now that makes it my Favorite handgun. I did all the work and that gives me a sense of pride in ownership. Can ya dig it?
I have owned a Tisas. Turned out to be a nice gun after it was all said and done. It still needed a lot of work even brand new. Actually I had one picked out. It was in the mid 600's and I would still go in and mess with it. Another great gun to start a redo with.
I wanted Novak sights, Ambi thumb safety, accessory rail and the PT 1911 has all that and more. Front slide serrations, checked front strap. For 350 it gives me a project and that is what I enjoy most about the deal. Yeah I could have got a Tisas but one with just Novak style sights and front slide serrations gets up there and you still don't have Ambi safety, checked front strap with an accessory rail. There is the before and after pics of the Tisas.
Zoom in on the thumb safety and slide release and look how ruff the finish was on the factory parts. They have cleaned those up a bit now.
It's good! It's all good! LOL
Concerning post #183
Before you guys jump out of skin on this post, I am referring to myself and not necessarily any other members. It's all about my viewpoint based upon my lifestyle and religious ideas. Everyone has the right to do anything they feel safe. I carried a handgun all the time when I lived in Atlanta. Up here I am in a completely different world. I live in a low key town of 303 and everyone knows everybody.
Again I'm only referring to myself because down there in Atlanta it's a different situation. Things can pop off at a minute over something as simple as somebody cutting them off or somebody looking at somebody the wrong way. People are pretty cordial up here and very nice unless you give them a reason not to be. I might have used the word yourself or you however, I'm speaking in terms of myself only. I don't condemn anyone for carrying a handgun all the time. That's their prerogative. It's just with my luck I would save somebody's life and they would throw me in the can just out of pure spitefulness. Just look at all the haters in here. My luck I'd get the judge just like them. 🤣🤣
That's why I'm very reserved on when and why I choose to carry. Plus I like full size guns and it bugs me. Those little sh*ts get on my nerves.
Peace out and happy holidays to you all even the haters. You deserve it to! God bless everyone!
