With its 8+1 capacity and 4.2" barrel, the Taurus 1911™ 45 ACP Commander has a shorter profile than traditional full-size 1911s but maintains a full-size grip providing a positive grip purchase. Perfect for carry, self-defense or home use, this version of 1911 Commander features PVD Prizm coated Slide that creates beautiful appearance on black finish, Novak® drift adjustable front and rear sights, and extended beavertail that offers comfortable shooting with great control.
