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, the Commander features a monochromatic black on black finish, Novak® drift adjustable front and rear sights, checkered black grips and extended beavertail that offers comfortable shooting with great control. The Commander is easily customized as it is built with industry standard components.
