The PT 1911 AL pairs a steel slide and 5-inch barrel with a gray aluminum alloy frame for a two-tone presentation. The frame is a non-railed, full-size Government pattern with a cross-hatched, checkered front strap and a flat, checkered mainspring housing. Unloaded weight is approximately 35.1 oz, with an overall length of about 8.6 inches and height of roughly 5.75 inches.
Controls and safety features are true to the platform and enhanced for usability: an ambidextrous manual safety, a grip safety, and a firing pin block. The skeletonized three-hole trigger and skeletonized rowel hammer complement the 1911 single-action, short-recoil system.
Sight regulation comes from Novak-style 3-dot sights with a fixed white-dot front and a drift-adjustable, dovetailed rear secured by a retaining screw. The slide includes front and rear cocking serrations, plus a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable cycling and ejection.
Fit details include black checkered grip panels with Taurus medallions and a two-tone finish with a dark slide over a gray frame. Markings include “TAURUS INT. MFG. INC. MIAMI, FL.” and “FORJAS TAURUS S.A.
– MADE IN BRAZIL.” This PT 1911 AL is chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity and uses steel, single-stack 1911 magazines.
This example is cataloged under Taurus part number 1-191101AL and carries matching serial numbers on the frame and barrel hood, aligning the major components as originally fit.
