Decided a 9mm 1911 was in order and through a trade this one ended up in my hands. I must say, I'm impressed. The finish isn't the greatest but the function is outstanding. Only issues I had were completely due to one of the magazines needing a little tune-up on the feed lips as a few feed issues were attributable to this. The full size/weight of the 1911 makes 9mm very easy to control. Nearly every handgun I shoot goes a bit low and left so I know it is me and not the gun. Plus I was shooting light loaded 115gr LRN cast bullets.
While I'm no Taurus fanboy, I have owned quite a few, considering myself quite un-bias as I have S&W, Glock, Colt, Ruger - plenty of flavor. Only things I tend to stay away from are Remington and Kimber - go figure. I'd give the PT-1911 in 9mm two thumbs up for anyone looking for a 9mm in that platform.
My alternate choice was going to be a Rock River because they have a Commander size. Pleased with my decision.
