Taylor's & Company 1911

At 36.8 ounces and with a 5-inch barrel, this is a full-size pistol. While it is technically possible, its size and weight are better suited for duty use, home defense, or range shooting rather than everyday concealed carry.

G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is incredibly durable and resistant to moisture or chemicals. The high-traction texture provides a secure, non-slip hold, which is particularly helpful when managing the recoil of the 10mm Auto cartridge.

The extended beaver tail allows for a higher grip on the pistol, which helps mitigate muzzle flip and improves overall control. It also protects the web of your hand from 'hammer bite' during the cycling of the slide.

Yes, the ambidextrous safety is designed for accessibility from either side of the firearm. It is a practical feature for left-handed shooters or for those who practice weak-hand shooting drills.

The fiber optic sight is excellent for rapid target acquisition in daylight or well-lit environments because it draws the eye quickly. However, it is not a self-illuminating night sight, so it will require ambient light to be effective.

The Parkerized finish is a matte, non-reflective coating that is rugged and utilitarian. While it is durable, it is porous and tends to hold oil well, so you should keep it lightly oiled to prevent surface corrosion.
