Taurus 1911 .45 ACP 5 inch Barrel 8+1 Matte Finish Steel Frame Hammer Forged

The Taurus 1911 Pistol in black is a full-size, hammer-forged .45 ACP 1911 built on an ordnance-grade steel frame and slide with a matte stainless 5.00-inch barrel, hand-fit by experienced pistolsmiths for consistent accuracy and reliable service; its single-action-only hammer firing system, grip safety, manual thumb safety and firing pin block deliver the layered safeties expected from a classic 1911 platform while the Novak drift-adjustable front and rear sights allow fast, repeatable sighting for competition drills or defensive-target transitions. With an 8+1 capacity and a stout overall length of 8.50 inches and weight in the low 40-ounce range, this Taurus 1911 balances muzzle control and recoil management for sustained strings on the range, duty use or serious home defense, and the serrated slide and checkered black polymer grips give secure manipulation under stress. Built in Brazil to Taurus quality standards, the hammer-forged stainless barrel and matte black steel finishes resist wear from high-round-count use and the 1911 platform family offers broad aftermarket support for sights, holsters and upgrades. FFL transfer is required.
