I bought a Taurus PT 1911 aluminum frame .45 almost 10 years ago. My first, and so far, only 1911- but I've been seriously thinking of getting another 1911 in 9mm too.

First trip to the range after running a couple hundred rounds thru it to make sure it works before I sent it off for hard chroming.

After I had the Taurus hard chromed, I changed the thumb safety and grips. Still looks like this after suffering a lot of neglect.
