I do love Buds, but they do sell some bad guns. one of which is the SCCY, which I pronounce as SCUZZY, after firing two rounds, with both a failure to eject and a failure to feed, the bar broke inside, and it left the trigger to just swing on its own, I went it off, and got it back 4 months later, it seemed to work, it is in my safe as I dont trust it. it is a clone of the Keltec P11 which is a much better mouse gun. do your research please. Some of the 1911's they are selling very good, they are called Ruger, Springfield, Colt, Kimber and yes, even Taurus. I was surprised at how well made the Taurus 1911 was made, that might be the ONLY budget 1911 I would recommend buying. if you buy a trash 1911, you wont be enjoying a true 1911, and yes you can do much better. dont waste all that money on a gun you wont be happy with!
