Venom1956, the only one comparing the PT1911 to the semi-custom 1911's is you, I don't think any of the PT1911 owners that have posted hear have said that their PT1911 is any better then any other 1911,(no snob owners) but have just stated the fact that the PT1911 is one hell of a good 1911 period nothing more or nothing less, chill out.
shoot safe, shoot straight and have fun
