Taurus 1911 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Excellent the Perfect handgun!

I bought the firearm on my wish list and I have no regrets. It is easy to disassemble and clean, fires perfectly, sighted in and target is neutralized with precision.

Great 1911 at a bargain price

Bought this gun 6 months ago on sale for $449 and got another 10% off plus a $10 in-store coupon for a total of $394! So far I have about 400 rounds both factory and cheapo reloads thru it with no problems except the rear sight loosened up and I had to ti

Great shooter.

Great shooter! Very comfortable to shoot, weight and balance is amazing. Mine functions flawlessly. I am very happy i bought this pistol.

awsome 1911

bought a month ago on sale 449.00,dislpay model last one , in store , very happy functions well,all the bells and whistles i need, did put williams fire sights on it tho,the factory sights just did not cut it for me,very good quality firearm.

Pick another manufacture !

I purchased this gun last year Fathers day, I fed only 300 rounds thru it before something broke internally, I sent the gun to Miami for repairs, this took about 3 weeks. The repair done to the gun was the replacement of a safety, I took the gun to the ra

Great firearm

Well made firearm. No issues. Easy to clean and maintain.

Love the way it feels in the hand

Comfortable gun, very accurate. havent had much range time with it yet, but i put 50 rounds through it with absolutely no issues. Feels great in my hands, being a person with bigger hands this was a big deal for me, and incredibly accurate. do have a few

Poor Quality

Bought this in November 2017. First time I fired it the sight and grip broke. Returned to Taurus for repair. Repair took 12 weeks. Did not fix the grip. Very frustrating.

Very nice gun compares very favorably to big names

I bought this gun at Academy perhaps two years ago. I own many 1911s and this is as good as any. I think the sights were the only thing I didn’t like about it and haven’t changed yet. I put VZ grips on it but originals were OK

works great , as advertized !!!!

excellent pistol !!! good features !! shoots 4 in groups at 15yrds !

A Kimber at 1/3 price

A lot of people purchase this pistol as a base gun and build it up. What most don't understand is that the Brazilian Subsidiary of Taurus invested in all new CNC machines while Colt and other still repair WWII machinery. This Taurus is locks-up tight

pt 1911 cal

I bought mine several years ago , I can't find any fault with it , i have owned 3 Colts , this gun has all the things I could not afford for the Colts it shoots as good as any 1911 I have ever fired . what's not to love about it. The pt1911 has

Fantastic 1911

I have had this gun since father's day 2015. It has been nothing but fun to use! It is excellent firearms that has relatively no recoil, also it has great sights.

Not So Great

had the opportunity to finally test this 1911 out this week. I can honestly say it was a complete disappointment. Stuck the first clip in and jacked the slide back and the round would not chamber, tried again and same thing. Tried the other mag and same t

Do not buy this gun! 500.00 paperweight

I bought one 2 years ago. I have only got to shoot it twice. First time I fire it it broke. Sent it to taurus for repairs they returned it fired it at range same part fell off. It is 500.00 paper weight.

Great shooting weapon

Mine is a year old I have shoot over 1000 rounds through it and it is still a great shooting weapon! I would highly recommend it.

Excellent value

I've had mine for years and love it. Great value and you have money left over for ammo!!

GREAT Pistol

I bought my PT1911 about a year ago. I just got my CHL using it and scored 248 points out of possible 250. Don't know why it is bashed so much because the fit and finish of mine is very good. As a manufacturing engineer I do know quality when I see i

Great features, quality gun

The PT1911 was an unexpected buy. It makes the seventh 1911 pistol that I own. Went into Academy Sports, did not plan on buying the gun, but found it on sale so I bought it. I was looking for a range gun. So far, at 200 rounds with no reliability problems

Must Have

The Taurus PT 1911 is a well matched pistol. After 500 rounds breaki in Period the 1911 became very smooth. Academy prices for this side arm are the best I've found. So proud to own a 1911. Seems to me every American should have one.

the best

I have owned a Taurus 1911 45.acp and think it is better then other 1911 the quilt of parts it has a smoother slide and would recommend it to every one and if your an officer it is a must have it will never let you down

My 5th 1911

I purchased this weapon last year. I immediately took it to the range and put 150 rounds of Federal 230 grn ball ammo through it without a hitch. Very accurate out of the box. I took it back to the range a couple of weeks later and shot 100 rounds of abso

Best bang for the buck!

I did a lot of research on this gun before I bought it. It stands to be reliable throughout the years of use without malfunctions or misfires. For the price, you get all the bells and whistles that of different 1911's which cost twice as much if not

couldn't ask for more

I purchased this handgun in the chrome finish about 5 years ago, I actually took my concealed carry training with it; the rifling in these pistols makes it impossible to miss any target. I'm in the market for another one due to the fact of it being s

Great shooter

I recently bought this item and am very pleased with its performance. Good features and accurate. Try it, you'll like it!

Taurus 1911 .45 ACP

Bought this on a Friday with no time to practice next day shot a 250 of 250 points in the CHL class..this is a Awesome pistol!

Taurus PT1911FS .45 ACP Pistol

Very nice quality. It has all the features of my Kimber Custom TLE II. Everything is put together very well. Great price also!

Great Gun

I bought the Taurus 1911 last year and have fired well over 1000 rounds thru it without a single issue.The only item I added was a set of rosewood grips. I am not the best shot but I can keep up with all of my friends 1911's on accuracy. I would defi

Super gun for the money !!

I purchased this gun on sale two weeks ago at a great price and get this, it came with a free Heritage Arms .22 Single Six revolver. Talk about a great deal .This Taurus .45 has many features you would only expect to find on much higher priced 1911's

Great affordable 1911

I purchased my first pistol like this about a year ago and have had no issues with it. My wife even enjoyed shooting it. If one 1911 is good, two must be better! I purchased my second Taurus 1911 a few days ago and have enjoyed shooting it just as much as

taurus is a great entry level 1911 highly recomend to anyone

Great Gun.

I have 3 Taurus 1911 Pistols and have had no issues with any of them.

Great gun for the Price!

I bought this gun a few days, and I must say... I am impressed. Feels great, All parts are machined tight, Nice finish, and Excellent price. I would recommend this purchase to anyone looking for a 1911.

Great price and awesome quality

I also own the pt 92AF and just like the 92 the 1911 is built very nice, honestly not a single complaint with the 1911 so far. The 92 started dropping the mags every 3rd or so round. Right at exactly 4 weeks from the day I shipped it to Taurus to it being

Solid, dependable workhorse.

Bought it a few years ago, and feel this is a best buy especially when compared to the top 1911 makers. It hits what I point at, and shoots when I pull the bang switch. Not finickey and eats anything I feed him. If you long for a 1911 thats a great deal w

I always wanted a 1911. It was had to choose one with so many on the market. But I got this hand gun. Based on the Taurus wepons I own. I did not go wrong with this purchase from SG. Price was right, fast shipping. The gun is well built, feels good in the

As always Taurus has a rock solid product and gives a 5 star show. Of the many pistols that I have shot including some very nice name brands this preformed as well as the high dollar ones and better, all around,then most . As far as an out of the box shoo

I took my PT1911 to the range twice last week. I shot ammo from Sig to steel cased Tulammo. Not once in 200 rounds did I have ANY problems. Shooting targets at 10 and 15 yards I was able to consistently hit in and close to the red bullseye. This gun makes

This is a solid pistol, not polymer, forged and milled. Using ball ammo I had no problems with cycling or jamming. Fit and finish is great no flaws seen. This is a great deal for those who used a .45 40 plus years or so ago in the military.

When I decided on the Taurus, most reviews described the fit to be tight (no rattle), and the finish to be gorgeous. The matte finish just seems incomplete. The slide to frame fit seemed tight right out the of the box. But after a good cleaning and remove

I hate it! I am really angry I own this. After cleaning and attempting to troubleshoot, it still jams, misfeeds or struggles to cycle. Will never own another Taurus.

I've had my Taurus 1911 for a few weeks now and have out over 100 rounds now. I have not had any problems with it what so ever. Even though it did not come with a cleaning brush lol. Excellent buy for the price and quality. Would recommend and would by an

Awesome gun, although the case it came in only has 1 magazine and no cleaning rod. I thought it came with an extra mag and the cleaning rod which was a little disappointing but definitely not a deal breaker. Very smooth running, have shot around 500 round

Pistol is an excellent buy. Working with Bud's was a good experience!

Excellent service. I will be buying more

I love my 1911 and great experience with Buds my go to dealer.

Got this because I was told 1911's are the best .... and they are. I would give this one 5 stars but I had to send it back soon after receiving it because the front sight was about to fall off. Other than that it's an awesome pistol.

Taurus PT 1911 FS Mine came without the large billboard on the slide much to my delight. Gun feels good and solid. Everything is nice and tight. Just feels good in my hands. Great sight picture. Dead on accurate right out of the case. Smooth trigger with

Taurus makes an amazing 1911!!!! This is the second one I have owned in my life and ever since I sold the first one I have been mad at myself. It's good to be back with Taurus and this is the best price on the market!!!

Great pistol would recommend! No problems although not a ton of rounds through it yet. Finish is matte not polished. Mine only came with one mag and no cleaning rod. Also it shoots a little to the left and with fixed sights, i have to compensate. Still a

Very reliable. Have not had 1 FTF with this in almost 1k rounds. Also has a nice trigger. I put on new grips and upgrades recoil spring to handle heavier loads. So far performs flawless.

Buds is shipping the "newer" PT-1911 design without the big/obnoxious "Taurus" tattooed on the slide. Very nice. This is my first 1911 and, after talking to an owner at a local shop about his great experience with Taurus PT-1911, will likely be a keeper.

took to range today and was thoroughly impressed. u cannot go wrong with this firearm. holds excellent groups using federal 230 gr ball ammo, ran almost every brand but federal along with browning held the tightest groups by quite a margin but even the wo

First off buds was awesome and shipped my gun quick and fast. This was my first online gun purchase and more will follow for sure. Okay I have put 212 rounds though this gun so far. 1st off there is no Taurus bill board on the side. 2nd it only comes with

Great firearm!! My first time owning a 1911 of any kind and I'm in love. Great shot accuracy. Took it to the range for the first time this weekend and it fired with no malfunctions like a well oiled machine.

For the money its a good buy if you're looking for a reasonable 1911. Seems well built, heft of a solid 1911, nice sights and lots of firepower. Can't go wrong.

This is one of the best shooting 45s I've fired in a long time! It was just as accurate as match grade 1911s I've shot in the past! I bought a second one for a spare! Highly recommend this one!

Taurus PT 1911 Pistol came when promised. Operates and shoots great. Sights are lousy. Tiny metric setscrew and dovetails milled too large. Shot 10 rounds and front sight was loose. Set screw would not tighten. There is a hole for the setscrew but it is i

This is my 5th handgun from Buds very clean and nice to shoot. I usually allow 50 rounds before logging any problems. This pistol did not have any problems no failure to feed, no failure to eject, or any stove pipes. Used army 230 grain ball ammo to loose

shoots great no jams . only 1 mag is the only down fall .

Great entry level 1911. I've run about 500 rounds through it, no problems whatsoever.

Great handgun, much nicer than shown in pictures. No giant Taurus billboard on slide anymore. Only a small Taurus stamp on corner of slide. Shot a bit over 100 rounds with no failures whatsoever. Very satisfied with purchase. Best budget 1911 around.

Great Transaction from Bud's as usual. Before a start promise to read the entire review so you don't miss my true feelings. This is a Great pistol from Taurus. Built well and fit and finish is pretty good. Came with Novak sights and no "taurus billboard l

Outstanding Pistol- This gun lives up to all the reviews. I bought it after reading all the glowing reviews on it. I inspected it for safety and then fired it right out of the case the way it was delivered. This gun ran flawlessly through 200 rounds of v

Very quick smooth transaction, the gun shoots beautifully! Haven't had a single problem :)

Great gun. This is first purchase through buds gone everything went smoothly. Will definately be doing business with them again.

So I received my Taurus PT 1911 today. It came in a decent amount of time as usual. But I will say this it was dirty dirty dirty. This by the way is my first 1911 and I will say I do like it. It has a nice weight to it not heavy at all like some people sa

Finish is above average. There are a few machining marks, but nothing that disturbs functionality. Fit and finish are more than acceptable. I have run a few hundred rounds through the gun. The ammo represented a variety of manufactures, loads, steel & bra

The PT1911fs, at the time I ordered it, was way too good a price to pass up. Even at it's regular discounted price, I feel it's an excellent gun. To my surprise, it came with a nice hard plastic case. I was expecting a cardboard box. It came with only one

Bud's comes thru again fast and accurate. My 5th PT1911, first from Bud's. Damn good price for a fine entry 45ACP.

Great buy. I should have bought a few of these. Shoots great. No loading or unloading issues. Nice trigger pull.

Usually, I'm not a huge fan of Taurus semi-auto handguns, but I got this from Bud's on sale for a pretty great price. Out of the box, I was little bummed that it only came with one magazine, but for the price that I paid for the gun,I couldn't be too upse

One word--Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

This is the first pistol that I've owned. The gun comes in a good case and one magazine. After I got, field stripped it and cleaned all the excessive "new gun" lubricant off, I took it to the range. I put 100 rounds through it with out any problem. The on

This was my first time sale of Bud's guns. Could not have asked for better service. My Taurus was shipped fast. Great price!!!!. I plan on more buying from Bud's guns. Thank you very much.

Great firearm and that price can't be beat either. I gave it 4 out of 5 because of the fact that it does fail to extract live rounds from the chamber. They jam up the slide. However this is not a problem if your using the gun for self or home defense as i

I'm a first time firearm owner so this review is going to be through the eyes of a total newbie. First off, budsgunshop was awesome. I had some strange issues with shipping and buds was awesome. The customer service rep. I talked to (patrick, I think) wa

Awesome gun for the money. This is my 1st 1911 and I did not want to spend a lot of money. I was not super happy about my 1st 1911 not being American made. I think this is a well made gun. I replaced the plastic grips with Hogue. Then put about 250 throug

Very nice gun. Was a little oily (a lot oily). Cleaned the gun and took to range and fired without problems. This is the first time I've dealt with Buds and they were great! Also the price of the gun dropped by 40.00 Dollars and the buysafe guarantee kick

Bud's was great as always. Awesome price and painless purchasing process.The PT1911 arrived in great condition, exactly as described. Took it home and fully cleaned it and headed to the range. First the trigger pull is quite gritty and unmeasurable on my

Recieved my Taurus 191101-FS , great fast shipping from Buds , tracking was correct all the way to the FFL . Picked up same evening as delivery . Shot right out of the box . What Im wondering is did they my little Brazillians forget the PT on the 1911 on

For the price, this pistol is hard to beat. There's nothing wrong with the example I received; it was extremely accurate out of the box and functioned flawlessly. Sure, it's not a $1,200 1911; but for a $400 1911, this thing in pretty awesome. I am very

I read a lot of reviews in the pt1911 before deciding to purchase. First off, Buds is top notch and a highly recommended dealer. I look forward to making more purchases soon. The PT1911 fs is perfect. No blemishes, nice case and cycles wonderfully. Howeve

I purchased a Taurus 1911 almost 5 years ago, and it was an amazing pistol. Never had a single issue with it. It fed any ammo without a single feed problem. These pistols are a different story. The fit and finish aren't nearly as nice. My guns (I ordered

Sending Back to Taurus strait out the box. Wont feed. Get what you pay for when you buy a taurus.

My first 1911, this has become my new favorite carry weapon. Finish seems a bit thin but an overall great firearm. Bud's service was excellent - timely status updates provided and quick shipping.

Ive owned a lot of guns in my time. Several 1911's. Including a Taurus just like this one. I bought a number of years ago when they first came out. It was a fine weapon. This one not so much. I am an experienced 1911 operator and have worked on numerous g

Excellent weapon for the price and it certainly includes a lot of the features a $1,200 top of the line 1911 will have, this is a great deal!. As any weapon from Taurus, it comes with a really thick protective grease. Then, you need to completely clean of

very accurate fast shooter.very pleased! Not the best finish but all-n-all very good weapon for the price!pretty dirty out of the box but still fired without a problem one! Once again Buds was great to deal with!

This is the second PT1911 I have owned. This gun has fired 100 rounds without any failures. All workings are crisp and all surfaces seem well finished. The only complaint I have with it is the trigger is very heavy. I adjusted on the spring some and it he

Taurus 1911 - with one magazine and case. I wanted a 1911 with the extra features without the price tag. I GOT IT!!! Took the gun to the range and it performed flawlessly. Picked up an extra magazine to go with it and I am very happy. This was my first pu

Got my PT Taurus 1911 FS shot only 25 rounds of Remington Golden Saber JHP 230 grain no problem, Very nice gun for the price, liked what i see, fast service from Bud's.

Excellent value with high feature content!
