The Taurus 1911 .45 ACP Cerakote Gray is a full-size single-action 1911 with a 5-inch barrel and an eight-round magazine (Taurus part no. 1-191101G-VZ). Taurus builds the line on an alloy steel frame and slide with Novak drift-adjustable sights, and this edition wears a Cerakote Gray finish with VZ G10 grips. It carries a manual safety, a grip safety and a firing pin block. This is a classic choice for range work, competition and home defense.
