I've been looking into an affordable 1911 for quite some time. I would prefer a Kimber or Springfield but don't nearly have the budget for that. I started looking into Rock Island Armory 1911s and have heard good things about them for being affordable. The more and more I keep hearing great things about the Taurus 1911. A friend of mine had a 24/7 and it was a total piece of ****, so I'm a little leary of Taurus because of that. But I've read tons of consumer reviews and articles about how great the Taurus 1911 is. Does anyone on here have any specific experience with them, good or bad? I'd love to know before I decided to order one. I called a dealer friend to get a price quote and he said $565 for the stainless but his distrubutors were completely out of them.
