The Taurus 1911 Commander is a .45 ACP single-action pistol with a 4.2-inch barrel, an 8+1 capacity and an overall length of 7.9 inches. It weighs 38 ounces on a steel frame. The Blue/Black finish pairs with black polymer grips, and an extended beavertail grip safety and manual thumb safety sit on the frame. Novak drift-adjustable contrast sights are fitted, and one magazine comes in the box.

A Commander-length 1911 sits between a full-size gun and a smaller carry-sized pistol, which suits a shooter who wants 1911 handling for personal protection and range work. In Georgia the purchase follows the federal path, since the state requires no permit to purchase, no registration and no waiting period. The licensed dealer runs the background check after you complete Form 4473, and Georgia sets no magazine limit that would restrict the 8+1 capacity.
