Cash offer has been received and accepted. SPF.
I made the plunge and ordered a Dan Wesson, so my PT1911 will need to find a new home.
Included in the sale are:
The pistol has fed all ammunition without hiccup since I have had it. I will admit that it does not like to slingshot JHP's, but it feeds them everytime using the slide stop, and I had zero FTF's during actual firing sessions of the JHP's previously mentioned.
Pistol has two cosmetic issues that ought to be brought to light. First, the frontstrap checkering has 3 or 4 points that are slightly blunted near the trigger guard. No issue in regards to functionality, but it's only fair to point out it exists.
Second, the rear sight was misaligned when I received it. It was twisted in the frame's dovetail counter-clockwise a few degress, creating a weird sight picture. I filed the rear sight's dovetail to the point that it can be seated pointing straight front to back (***PLEASE NOTE: I did not file the frame's dovetail). The only issue in regards to this is that the rear sight now also sits a little proud of the frame. At the rear of the sight, where the white dots are, the sight is probably about .25mm proud of the slide. Taurus offered to fix it if I sent the pistol back to them, but for the cost of shipping I could purchase new sights. I, personally, do not believe there is much issue in regards to their functionality and did not see my POA/POI change noticeably. Again, I felt it was only fair to point this out.
I did put a slightly higher finish on the pistol with 600grat wet/dry sandpaper run in a single direction. This finish is slightly above a matte finish now, but not at all a mirror polish or high polish. The pistol has recently been cleaned thoroughly and is ready for a new home!
I am asking $450 for the whole setup (pistol and holster). Will consider trades of short barreled .357 revolvers and/or .45 ACP ammunition, however, cash is preferred. I will not be making a decision in regards to trade offers until this Friday in an effort to sell the pistol for cash first. Must be FTF and I will need to see a valid Indiana ID and LTCH. I am located in Central Indiana and am willing to drive up to an hour from my home to meet.
Now for pictures (forgive their quality, my camera has decided to refuse to read its memory card, so these were taken on my iPhone):
