[Chasbo00]

After the match, Jessie reflected back on her performance, "I shot a good, solid match and was very happy with my performance, but more importantly, the performance of my Taurus 1911 was flawless!"

Well there it is, apparently you gotta spend about 2k on a race gun to get something from Taurus that works :p

2k is way cheap for a race gun. But this was single stack division and mods are limited. Despite that, I don't know what besides the slide and frame are actually Taurus parts and I'm sure this pistol was no ordinary Taurus 1911. Here are the mod rules:

Single Stack

Authorized modifications
Internal modifications to improve accuracy, reliability and function (spherical
bushings, Acc-U-Rails)
Sights – trimmed, adjusted, replaced, colored, or fiber-optic.
Slide – milling permitted only to duplicate a mass-produced factory slide or as
required to insert sights.
After-market barrels – if the same length and contour as original factory standard.

Prohibited modifications and features
External modifications or features such as weights or devices to control or reduce
recoil (such as, but not limited to, thumb rests or components which could be used
as such).
Coned barrels, bull barrels, or barrels with flanges, except in 1911 compact pistols
with a barrel length of 4.20 inches or less. All other barrels must have barrel
bushings and conform to factory profile.
Slide lightening, cuts, ports, or any milling providing a competitive advantage.

Permitted features
External extractors, firing pin blocks, and other factory safety features.
Factory installed light rail attachments if the dust cover is no longer than 3.25 inches measured from the rear of the slide stop pin to the front of the dust cover.

Special conditions:
• Only 1911 production type pistols. Must be available to the general public and have their basis in the original 1911 service pistol as designed by John M. Browning. Pistols made from components that duplicate the factory originals are acceptable. Frames must be metal.
• Unless specifically authorized above, modifications are prohibited.
