Happens all the time. Ever heard of Oly Arms?
Most gun manufacturers do NOT expect the person buying their gun to ACTUALLY shoot it very much.
It is cheaper for them to take the chance that you won't shoot it than to put quality parts in the weapon. If you actually do shoot it and break something, covering the shipping back to them and repair is a gamble they are willing to take.

Here's me eating HUMBLE PIE. What a piece of shit this Taurus PT1911 is.
It didn't even make it to the range before the left side safety worked itself loose and came OUT. I'll have to find some way to get something out of it.
I put it back in its case where it will sit until I sell it or trade it off.
I'm sorry I ever tried to defend it for anything other than what Grant said it should be used for. My humble apologies for this waste of bandwidth.
I believe Taurus will pick up shipping both ways.
This has been a most enlightening and, at times, amusing thread. Condolences to the OP on the pistol not living up to his expectations. That said, it appears to have met the expectations of several members who offered feedback on the Taurus.
When I got the 1911 bug several months back, I also looked at the Taurus, Rock Island, etc. but ended up buying a used Springfield MC Operator. Damn glad I did.
