Taurus 1911?

[CJS3]

I just bought a PT1911, and had it at the range with some of my reloads. It ate everything I fed it and was fairly accurate to 15 yards ( the limit of 55yearold eyes). This is about the tenth Taurus pistol I've owned over the years, and I've never really had a service issue with any of them. This compares to the Springfield GI .45 and the Ruger P345 that I purchased, that were very picky about the ammo I tried to fire through them.

Just pulled the trigger and bought one, will report how it shoots as soon as I go to the range.  I have Ruger, Smith and Springfield, thought I would give this a try.

Actually, with my experience with Ruger, how bad could a Taurus be?

I have a stainless PT1911. Had a problem with 3 point jams with a variety of magazines out of the box. Figured out it was out of time and "riding the link". Called Taurus Customer Service and described the problem. They were informed, intelligent relative to guns and seemed qresponsive and Sent it back to Taurus

I've been pretty happy with mine until just now. I was transferring my carry ammo to my Para, which I decided to carry for a while and when I pushed the safety down to clear the pistol (I'm left handed) the safety went down on the right side of the pistol, but did not release the thumb safety. 

Even worse, when I removed the thumb safety the plunger flew to parts unknown.

I finally got to the range, and all I can say is  WHAT A SWEET GUN.  Put 200 rounds through it, not one jam, and it hits what I point at.  At 12 yds it groups about 6" free hand.  My kid shoots it even better.  25 yds groups the size of the bottom of a coffee can.
