Overview

The TAURUS PT-1911 in this listing is offered as a semi-auto with a clean, familiar 1911 silhouette. Important purchase notes: the firearm does not include the original box or case and comes with one single factory eight round magazine. The listing price is $429.99, making it an accessible option for shooters seeking a value-oriented 1911-style pistol.

Features & Practical Use

While this particular posting lists the model as Various under the Taurus brand, specific calibers are not provided in the product information. Confirm caliber and barrel length on the product page before purchasing. The single factory eight round magazine suggests a traditional 1911 magazine capacity commonly associated with calibers such as .45 or compact 9mm 1911 conversions; verify actual caliber on the retailer page for ammunition compatibility and defensive use.

Handling and Tactical Notes

Expect the typical 1911 controls: manual thumb safety, grip safety, and slide serrations for secure manipulation. The steel-frame feel and single-action trigger give consistent reset and a crisp trigger break for accurate follow-up shots at the range. For defensive carry, note the absence of a factory case and the single magazine—plan to budget for a quality soft case or lockbox and at least one extra magazine for duty or practice sessions.

Considerations Before Purchase

At $429.99, this TAURUS PT-1911 represents a budget-friendly entry into the 1911 platform. Confirm the caliber and any service history on the product page, and account for the included single factory eight round magazine and the lack of original packaging when assessing overall value. For buyers who want a ready-to-run defensive pistol, add at least one spare magazine and a secure transport solution.
