Has anyone had the misfortune to need to find Taurus parts? I need an extractor for a .45 PT1911 SS series 80 style with the pin so far Numrich does not have them and I am beganing to think it may have to go back to Taurus as no other sites I can find show them. Not to sure a Colt type will fit

Have you called Taurus? I've ordered many parts from them and they've always been very helpful and fairly quick to deliver.

I have a call into Taurus waiting for a call back. Wondered if anyone else carried parts.

I thought a broken Taurus was simply a miracle from god, that allowed you to go out and buy a Ruger or a Smith & Wesson ?

coffee Sorry, sorry - - - - sorry. That was neither called for nor helpful. So sorry.

A bad rep is a lot harder to lose them getting a good rep.

After working on this one I have found that altho they look nice its a PT1911 and all the parts fit, I would rather have a Colt. But then I do not care for stainless pistols but it does make nice dinner tools and such. patriot

I had very few of the Taurus line ever come into the shop. Those that did and needed a part were usually owner error. Taurus was easy to deal with and quick to send me whatever I needed. Their in house warranty repair was just as fast and hassle free on the one time I needed to use it.

40 years ago I wouldn't have had a Taurus if it was given to me. Now I have one of there revolvers that I would stake my life on and have.

a 2 inch model 85 has served me well since 1990, carried most of the time, fired couple thousand rounds in practice, qualifies perfect score every time.
PT1911 rides duty holster nowdays. Never missed a beat. Finish is not so great but it also shoots every time and hits where you aim it.
Have a 4 inch model 65 stainless that I could not say how much it has been shot. A lot by me and some before me.
I also have a Smith 586 that has been nothing but a quality control example. So Standard deviation rule applies to guns as well.
