I don't see that Cuba said he had fired 11k rounds with no problems, only that there was no significant wear on the pistol. And he did have the problem with the safety, which was resolved promptly by Taurus. Also, note that only 1k rounds were full power; the rest were lighter target loads.

I do not own a PT1911 but I have had a chance to examine one closely and it appears to be a well made pistol. From the factory, the trigger pull was very heavy and gritty. FWIW, I have never said Taurus products are bad; I have said that their production quality control is spotty and that IMHO there is a higher chance of buying a lemon than with other makers. Their designs are good (Most Taurus designs are basically copies, but they have changed some things, often for the better) and their materials are good.
