If you are just looking at value for the money, it is hard to beat the Taurus. But I would not go so far as to say the the best 1911. Not with guns like Wilson, Baer, Kimber, etc on the market.

Either one will most likely do what you want it to do. Odds are if you disassembled both guns and threw the pieces in a box, you could put them back together randomly and both guns work fine given the same/similar models. I'd lean towards the Taurus because I've had good luck with my Taurus firearms, and I like their lifetime warranty. That being said, I own a Springfield, too, that I'm pleased with. Almost everyone makes a 1911 now, and they're almost a commodity item unless go with a really bargain basement brand . . . or something really high end. For many people, what matters most is options that come with the 1911 like ambi-safeties and the like because, eventually, most people are going to put aftermarket parts on their 1911 to improve performance, feel, and looks. If one is going to do that, it's probably better to start out with a 1911 that has some of the parts you'd normally swap out already allowing money to be spent other places. It's sort of a waste to pay extra for a gun only to take 30% of the parts off for aftermarket, anyway. If you're going to build a 1911, as silly as it sounds, it's almost as easy/cheap to build an inexpensive gun as it is an expensive starter gun.

They are a good 1911 and in the price range they are the best.

I just had a bunch of custom work done on mine. Now it looks like a 2 thousand dollar gun, and shoots just as good as the pricier models. ( and I did it all and still came in under what a Kimber costs) To me it is a good choice for a 1911!

Beautiful 1911. Comparing it to all the others $400 or more. The artical says it all.

The Taurus can't hold a candle to any of the Colts.
