Springfield Armory isn't
THE Springfield armory. The real Springfield Armory was in Springfield, MA and the new one is in Genesco, IL. There is no connection between the two except the new SA stole the name in 1992 after the real US Gov Springfield Armory closed down. That's a mere 15 years of making guns under a false name.
Springfield Armory 1911 parts are made in Brazil and the guns are assembled in Illinois. Taurus guns are totally made in Brazil.
I would love to get my hands on a new Taurus just to see how well they match the Colt specs. Many 1911 types of guns have parts unique to their manufacturer and won't interchange with Colt aftermarket parts.
Taurus has a real "hit and miss" reputation. Their metallurgy can be quite good or really bad. The quality of the parts and workmanship is "iffy" at best. I have seen some nice Taurus guns but I have also worked on a good many that should have never been allowed to escape from the factory. Springers have much better QC but they are not in the same quality class as a Colt.
I have a bunch of 1911s (mostly Colts) in my safe. My best tactical shooter is an AMT Hardballer. My best bullseye gun is a Les Baer. My best carry gun is a Colt Commander. My best "do everything" is the Colt Series 70 Govt Mod below.
