Taurus 1911 - series 70? 80? Triggers?

A buddy of mine called me this morning and said he’d been on the lookout for a USP Compact and had run across a Taurus 1911 at a decent price, $500. Asked me if I knew anything about them and I said I did not, but would go to my Oracle and ask. Given that - from what I understand- Taurus has a good reputation - I would think their 1911 line would be good. I suspect my buddy might buy this instead of a USP if the experiences are positive. Thanks.
