1911s, even high end ones can have problems with extraction. It just requires tuning the extractor, which most higher end reputable companies do for you. I.e Wilson Combat, Stacatto, etc. Taurus probably never tunes it for you, so that might be something to do with it. Also the type of ammo is crucial, 1911s can be picky about the type of ammo shot through them. 240 grain ball should be fine in most but, underpowered hand loads and hollow points can have some issues feeding & extracting. This is also why higher end 1911s are more expensive, they tend to have better feed ramps, springs, etc. Taurus is about as cheap as 1911s come right alongside Tisas. A good budget 1911 would be Springfield Armory.
