Taurus 1911 45 ACP 5" Full-Size Pistol with Rail

The Taurus 1911: American Tradition Refined

The Taurus 1911 represents a return to fundamentals—a pistol designed to be the standard against which all other 1911s are measured. This is not a compromise design, but rather a thoughtful execution of proven principles.

Construction and Craftsmanship

Taurus builds this pistol from hammer-forged ordnance-grade steel, not cast materials. The frames, slides, and barrels are machined to tolerance levels that exceed modern industry standards. Each gun receives a hand-fit assembly with 19 standard features, ensuring that every pistol that leaves the factory is a quality instrument.
