Taurus 1911 Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The PT1911 is identical in feel and handling to the original 1911.  It uses windage-adjustable sights and has large front and rear slide serrations for easy slide manipulation. 

Taurus 1911 Fit & Finish

The Taurus PT1911 is machined to be identical to the original 1911 with a few aesthetic differences and updated controls.  Its recoil spring plug is left open instead of being closed which can allow dirt and foreign objects to find their way into the pistol.

Taurus 1911 Concealability

Concealability
With its length of 8.5 inches and a height just shy of 6 inches, the PT1911 is difficult, but not impossible, to conceal with the right holster and attire.  Due to its size and the intent of the original design, the PT1911 is most easily carried in an open-carry setting.
