Od have to go Taurus. I've seen some atrocities in thr PT 911. That being said Kimber isn't exactly exceptional. It's more which sucks less.

At least Kimber *has* put out acceptable 1911 reliability on occasion. I've only lived the Taurus lie vicariously through other shooters in courses, but in both cases that I directly recall, the choking was so severe I thought the whole class was going to need the heimlich maneuver...
Ruger.......for the out of the box "inexpensive" 1911, that is where I am at these days. Don't own one, but have shot a bunch and it is my current recommendation over the current Kimbers.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Between those two choices I would buy the Kimber in an eyeblink.

Here's some PT1911 pics from two different guns owned by two different friends of mine...as a disclaimer they bought these before we became friends...

The machining looks like it was done with chain saws and the investment casings were done in railroad ballast.
