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, and extended beavertail that offers comfortable shooting with great control. Featuring Magpul heavy-duty reinforced polymer, MOE 1911 Grip Panels have a unique diamond-shaped cross section to prevent twisting in the hand, aggressive magazine release cut-out, positive anti-slip texture, and are compatible with ambidextrous safeties.
