Ya, I can drop mags at arms length with the 1911's but my Taurus I gotta pull it to my chest to change mags. Probably not a bad thing. A better tactical move.
Which taurus do you have? I have two G2 pt111's, right before they changed the name to the G2C and stopped offering a lifetime warranty. Thats actually the gun I'm cleaning and adding the trigger and springs to right now.
