Overview

The Taurus PT1911 is a semi-automatic pistol based on the classic 1911 platform, manufactured by Taurus in Brazil. It was introduced as an affordable, feature-rich alternative to premium 1911 pistols. The PT1911 comes standard with many upgrades that are typically aftermarket additions, such as a skeletonized trigger and hammer, extended beavertail grip safety, and an ambidextrous thumb safety. It is chambered in .45 ACP with an 8-round magazine capacity. The pistol features a forged carbon steel frame and slide with a parkerized finish. It has been offered in numerous variants including stainless steel and tactical models.
