Have not built it as of yet, waiting for the pieces to arrive and then will post before and after.
I am worried about the sights and making sure they are aligned properly.

Soo ah I broke my wife's pistol.

I am screwed, what I broke was the sear spring there was a little tab bent over on it and I busted it off. hoo she is not happy with me right now.

order a new one, while you are at it, replace the sear, trigger, and hammer. I had to replace all on my PT1911 when the sear gave out after only 1000 rounds.

Is this a wide spread Taurus 1911 problem? Or a 1911 problem in general? I just bought a PT1911AR from my brother and he has put about a thousand rounds through it with no problems. Are problems on the horizon for this gun? Should I replace these parts? Or just sell the damn thing and get something else?

From further reading on web I believe that the frame and slide are them selves are good solid pieces, but the guts need to be replaced.
I priced out a rebuild on brownells.com of midrange solid stuff and it looks like you can do a good up grade for less that $300.00
at this time the only issue I have had was with the sear spring.

the hammer, sear disconnector i am looking at 139.00


triggers 30.00

Thank you saber, I went looking around today and found this as well. People in the 1911 forums seem to like these guys.
