Taurus PT 1911 Government .45 ACP Pistol with Ported Compensator and Fiber-Optic Front Sight
This full-size Taurus PT 1911 blends classic 1911 ergonomics with purposeful upgrades. A multi-ported three-slot compensator tames muzzle rise, while the red fiber-optic front sight speeds target acquisition. Forged ordnance-grade steel construction, a skeletonized trigger and commander-style hammer, and Novak-pattern sights round out a .45 ACP package that is ready for the range or duty use.

What’s Included
- Four 8-round magazines (one Mec-Gar steel magazine)
- Black checkered plastic “U.S.” grips (installed)

The installed compensator replaces the standard barrel bushing and vents gas upward through three slots to reduce muzzle flip, helping keep follow-up shots on target without adding significant bulk.
A dovetailed red fiber-optic rod up front pairs with a low-profile two-dot rear sight for a sight picture that stays visible in varied lighting. Both sights are Novak-pattern, allowing easy aftermarket changes if desired.
Slide, frame, and barrel all carry matching serial NL089085, underscoring factory fitment. Front and rear cocking serrations aid manipulation, and the matte black finish on carbon-steel components resists glare.
Safety features include a manual thumb safety, grip safety, and internal firing-pin block. The skeletonized trigger offers a crisp single-action pull, while the commander-style hammer speeds lock time.
