I bought a Taurus 38 Super 1911 and I still cant believe how well it shoots right along side my Colts and Kimbers.
I'm guessing it's about 10 years now, I remember waiting close to 2 years from the time rumor started they were going into a Super.
Certainly don't regret that buy and maybe 2-3K rounds thru it still pumping.
Also picked up double action model that performs well and the only other manufacturer I ever seen that made one was Sig.
