The Taurus 1911 Full Size .45 ACP is Pakistan’s best-value government-model pistol, delivering classic American firepower with Brazilian reliability at a price that undercuts Colt and Springfield. This 8+1 round .45 features a 5″ forged steel barrel with 1:16 twist, optimized for 230gr ammunition (including Pakistani-made POF .45) that delivers hard-hitting stopping power with 3″ groups at 25 yards – remarkable performance for a budget-friendly 1911. Unlike Philippine or Turkish clones, the Taurus 1911 boasts military-spec features including:
1) Series-70 firing system (no firing pin safety),
2) Lowered/flared ejection port for reliable brass extraction,
and 3) Forged (not cast) slide/frame that withstands 50,000+ rounds of local reloads.
The checkered front strap and textured rubber grips provide a secure hold during Punjab’s scorching summers, while the beveled magwell enables tactical reloads – critical for home defense scenarios. Compared to higher-end 1911s like the Colt Government or Springfield Garrison, the Taurus offers 90% of the performance at 60% of the price, with essential upgrades including:
1) Extended thumb safety,
2) High-visibility 3-dot sights,
and 3) Melt-treated edges for snag-free draws. The matte blue finish resists rust better than parkerization in humid coastal areas, though owners in Karachi should apply RIG grease monthly to combat salt-air corrosion. Now available through at Haider Arms, this Brazilian-made 1911 ships with two 8-round mags and a factory warranty – rare for Pakistani imports – making it ideal for:
1) Home defense (with hollow points),
2) IPSC Classic Division,
and 3) Collectors wanting authentic 1911 mechanics without the custom price tag. is Pakistan’s best-value government-model pistol, delivering classic American firepower with Brazilian reliability at a price that undercuts Colt and Springfield.
