The Taurus 1911 Officer is a compact .45 ACP single-action pistol with a 3.5-inch barrel, a 6+1 capacity and an overall length of 7.2 inches. It weighs 30.5 ounces and is built on a steel frame. Checkered black grips and a Blue/Black finish complete the look, and Novak drift-adjustable front and rear sights allow point-of-aim changes. The ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety keep the traditional 1911 controls, and one magazine is included.

The Officer size suits personal protection, off-duty carry and home defense, with a 1911 layout in a shorter package than a full-size model. In Georgia no permit to purchase, registration or waiting period applies, so the purchase is handled by a licensed dealer who runs the federal background check after Form 4473. Dealers require buyers to be 21 for handguns. Georgia sets no magazine limit, so the 6+1 capacity is not restricted by state law.
