The Taurus 1911 Full Size is a single-action .45 ACP pistol with a 5-inch barrel and an 8+1 capacity, measuring 8.5 inches overall and weighing 42.08 ounces. Its frame, slide and barrel are hammer-forged steel, and the matte black finish runs over all of it. Novak drift-adjustable sights let you set point of aim, and a manual thumb safety and grip safety sit where a 1911 shooter expects them. One magazine comes with the pistol.

This is a full-size 1911 for a shooter who wants the classic platform with a settled 42-ounce weight on the range or at home. Georgia buyers take it home the federal way: a licensed dealer runs the background check after you complete Form 4473, and no state permit, registration or waiting period stands in the way. Dealers in the state require buyers to be 21 for handguns.
