The Taurus 1911 is a full-size single-action .45 ACP pistol built on a steel frame, with a 5-inch carbon steel barrel and an 8+1 capacity. Its overall length is 8.5 inches. G10 tactical VZ grips give a textured hold, and the hammer and trigger are skeletonized. The front strap and mainspring housing are serrated, and wide slide serrations help with manipulation. Novak drift-adjustable sights allow windage correction, and the extended beavertail grip safety and manual thumb safety are fitted. One magazine comes with the pistol.

This model fits range training and personal protection for a shooter who wants a 1911 with added grip texture and a skeletonized trigger. Georgia has no permit to purchase, no registration and no waiting period, so the pistol is transferred through a licensed dealer after photo ID, ATF Form 4473 and the background check. Dealers require buyers to be 21 for handguns, and the state places no magazine limit on the 8+1 capacity.
