Taurus 1911 Full-Size Stainless .45 ACP – Custom-Equipped with Magpul MOE Grips
This Brazilian-forged Taurus 1911 brings together classic Government-model proportions, modern stainless steel construction, and a tasteful upgrade straight from the Magpul catalog. With its match-fit 5" barrel, Novak-pattern sights, and a crisp single-action trigger, it checks every box for shooters who want a capable .45 without leaving the proven 1911 platform. Collectors will appreciate the serial-number match across frame, slide, and barrel; practical shooters will notice the ambidextrous safeties, forward cocking serrations, and 8-round magazine that keep this PT1911 competitive on today’s range.
Condition
Overall: Very good. The matte stainless surfaces show only faint, superficial handling marks; no dings, gouges, or corrosion.
Finish: Minor cosmetic blemishes confined to the finish—purely aesthetic, with no impact on function.
Bore: Excellent. Mirror-bright, sharp lands and grooves, no pitting or frosting.
Mechanicals: All safeties engage positively; slide-to-frame fit remains tight; trigger breaks cleanly with minimal overtravel.
What’s Included
• One factory 8-round stainless Taurus PT1911 magazine with polymer bumper
• Installed Magpul MOE 1911 polymer grip panels (gray/black pebble texture)
Features and Details
• Forged, not cast: Both frame and slide are machined from forged stainless for durability and tighter tolerances.
• Match-fit barrel: A serial-number-matched, fully supported 5" barrel promotes consistent lock-up and accuracy potential straight out of the box.
• Upgraded grip interface: The Magpul MOE panels add extra purchase and modern styling without adding bulk, complementing the 30 lpi front-strap and mainspring housing serrations.
• User-friendly controls: Skeletonized trigger and rowel hammer reduce mass for faster lock time, while ambidextrous thumb safeties and a memory-bump grip safety keep operation intuitive for either hand.
• Thoughtful sight picture: A dovetailed front blade pairs with an adjustable Novak-style rear so you can fine-tune elevation for different loads.
• Taurus Security System: Discreet key-activated hammer lock offers an added layer of storage security when activated, without altering normal range handling.
• Competition pedigree: Widely used in IDPA’s CDP division as an affordable entry gun, this model’s balance of weight (42 oz) and recoil-taming all-steel frame makes it easy to shoot smoothly during long strings.
If you’ve been looking for a stainless 1911 that blends classic styling, modern materials, and a subtle custom touch—without the four-figure price tag—this Taurus PT1911 is ready for duty in your range bag or display case.
