Thanks, guys. I'm pretty amazed that I was able to post that picture. I seem to be very technologicly handicaped. The PT 1911 weighs 41.8 ozs. It is very accurate & functions perfectly. This pistol has close to 4000 rounds shot through it. The finish is wearing off where the holster rubs the gun. I did not like the factory grips. These are Hogue's. They have a slight palm swell & feel very comfortable & secure in my hands. 90% of the ammo has been my own re loads. I have tried different powders & weights of bullets. I have found that the best load for this pistol to be 4.8 grains of Bullseye under a 230gr RN FMJ. Hollow points work good & I don't see any advantage to useing SWC's. I don't use lead bullets so I can't commit about that. I know that everyone has his or her favorite load, so feel free to use what you like as I'm sure the Taurus will handle it. (within safety guidelines, of course) This is my TSA & USPSA load. I have only started playing that game & this load is a little hotter than it needs to be to meet power factor, but I like it. I had my gunsmith change the trigger pull to 4lbs from the 7lb pull from the factory. Other than that & the grips, this is a box stock gun.
