so since i figured a quality 1911 was out of my price range i settled on a polymer 45 from GLOCK 21/XDm/S&W MP. I visited Tomball pawn and they were very helpful but presented an option I never considered. A Taurus 1911 ALR 45 ACP
Being a n00b I told the fella (whose name I can't remember) I had head bad things about Taurus that they made cheap, poor quality fire arms and many people have said- anything but a Taurus. Now holding this 1911 in my hand it felt NICE! I had a Colt (Gold cup), Kimber and Springfield for comparison. The Taurus had an aluminum and steel construction that was as light as a Kimber carry, pictanny rails, hand saftey and a other features the $1200 1911s don't have.
so......what do I do?
