I got a Taurus PT1911 this week, and contrary to what everyone has been telling me about 1911 triggers, this one is junk. It is by far the least clean break of any of the single-action pistols in my collection. I detail-stripped the gun and found nothing that looks out of place in the trigger system. The pull is still junk after 300-400 dry-fires too.

So, being completely new to 1911s, I wondered if anyone who really knows 1911s was going to Koko Head this weekend and would be willing to try out the pull so I can figure out whether it needs to go back to Taurus, a trigger job will fix it, or if the hype about 1911 triggers is just that: hype.

You can talk to the RSOs on the pistol side. The RSO Tony is very good with 1911s.

Tony does magic with stock triggers!
