I've got one but haven't been able to shoot it enough yet. So far I like it. The only thing that worries me is the bushing below the barrel at the muzzle end (I don't know what it is called at the moment). I can see it getting dinged if the pistol is ACCIDENTALLY dropped, and the slide not functioning.

Comments please.

never fired one, but i haven't heard anything bad about them yet. IMO taurus has upgraded their stuff lots in the last few years

Do you have the full length guide rod or the spring and plug? There isn't much to worry about. It's only a 100 year old design copied by everybody. If it was going to break it would have already broke and been redesigned. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't make a mil-spec model.

It has a bushing that slides over a full length rod with a exposed/open end on the bushing. It is not a plug like the conventional 1911 design. Heaven forbid, I can see it getting dropped and landing on the bushing and denting it in so that the rod will not go through and thus not functioning at all.

I have fired a friends about 30 rounds.

It worked 100%.
