The Taurus 1191101MGVZ delivers enhanced grip control and corrosion resistance through its combination of VZ Operator II grips and Cerakote finish treatment. This full-size 1911 platform maintains the classic .45 ACP chambering while incorporating modern materials and manufacturing precision.
What Makes This Different
The dual-tone finish configuration pairs a matte black beavertail frame with a serrated mil-spec green Cerakote slide for both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. Cerakote provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, maintaining finish integrity through extended use cycles. The VZ Operator II grips feature an aggressive texture pattern that enhances weapon retention under adverse conditions.
