Designed to be the standard that all 1911 pistols are compared against, the Taurus 1911 line offers the most accurate and feature-laden models on the market today. Starting with hammer-forged (not cast) ordnance-grade steel frames, slides, and barrels, Taurus machines each part to tolerance levels that surpass even today's industry standards.

The Taurus 1911 in .45 ACP delivers the classic feel and proven performance that defensive shooters, range enthusiasts, and 1911 loyalists expect from a full-size steel pistol. Built on a hammer-forged frame, slide, and barrel—not cast—this model reflects Taurus’ emphasis on durability and precision. Each pistol is hand-fit by skilled pistolsmiths, resulting in a smooth, consistent single-action trigger and tight lockup right out of the box.
