Taurus 1191101B1 1911 Full Size 45 ACP 8+1 5" Stainless/Black Rail

The Taurus 1911 Full Size delivers classic 1911 performance with modern tactical enhancements at an accessible price point. This full-size pistol combines the proven 45 ACP cartridge with contemporary features like an integrated Picatinny rail and enhanced grip texture.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic 1911 models, this Taurus variant includes a factory-installed Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers without gunsmithing. The matte black finish on both slide and frame provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional blued steel. The checkered polymer grips offer improved texture and weather resistance over smooth wood grips found on many entry-level 1911s.

Key Features

• Full-size 5-inch matte stainless steel barrel for maximum accuracy potential
• 8+1 capacity with standard 45 ACP magazines
• Integrated Picatinny rail accommodates tactical accessories
• Beavertail grip safety prevents hammer bite during firing
• Serrated slide provides secure grip for manipulation
• Black checkered polymer grips resist moisture and provide consistent texture
• Matte black steel construction reduces glare and resists corrosion

The 5-inch barrel length maximizes 45 ACP ballistic performance while maintaining the classic 1911 sight radius. This configuration excels in competitive shooting where accuracy matters, while the tactical rail makes it suitable for home defense applications. The matte finishes eliminate reflective surfaces that could compromise concealment in low-light situations.
