Taurus 1911 Full Size 45 ACP 8+1 5" Barrel Matte Black Steel

The Taurus 1191101FS delivers classic 1911 reliability with modern manufacturing precision at an accessible price point. This full-size 45 ACP combines traditional design elements with contemporary materials and finishes for consistent performance across multiple shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike many budget-tier 1911s that compromise on materials, this Taurus model features a matte stainless steel barrel paired with a matte black serrated steel slide and frame. The serrated slide provides enhanced grip for manipulation in adverse conditions, while the checkered polymer grips offer consistent hand placement and moisture resistance. The 8+1 capacity matches military specifications while maintaining the slim profile that made the 1911 platform legendary.

Key Features

• Full-size 5-inch matte stainless steel barrel for maximum velocity and accuracy potential
• Matte black serrated steel slide and frame construction resists corrosion and reduces glare
• Black checkered polymer grips provide secure hold in wet or dry conditions
• 8+1 capacity with standard 45 ACP magazines
• Traditional single-action trigger system with crisp break
• Standard 1911 dimensions accommodate most holsters and accessories

The full-size frame and 5-inch barrel combination delivers the ballistic performance 45 ACP was designed for, making it suitable for competitive shooting, training, and personal protection roles. The matte finishes reduce maintenance requirements compared to polished surfaces while providing professional appearance. Standard 1911 controls and operation ensure familiarity for shooters transitioning from military or law enforcement backgrounds.
