Description

The Tanfoglio FT1911 is Fratelli Tanfoglio's take on John Browning's timeless 1911 design, built in Italy with the fit and finish the company has earned a reputation for. This is a Series 70 pattern pistol chambered in .45 ACP, running an 8+1 capacity from single-stack magazines. The frame, slide, and 5.03" barrel are all stainless steel, giving it the kind of heft that soaks up recoil from the big-bore .45 and keeps follow-up shots flat and predictable.

What Sets the FT1911 Apart

Tanfoglio leaned into the sporting side of the 1911 with this one. The slide wears crisp serrations for a positive grip during press checks and reloads, and the frame comes with a beavertail grip safety that spreads felt recoil across the web of your hand while keeping your thumb clear of hammer bite. Controls follow traditional 1911 placement, so if you've run a 1911 before, everything is right where your hands expect it. The textured grip panels and front and rear grip surfaces give you a secure hold even when things heat up.

Built for the Single Stack Line

Tanfoglio markets the FT1911 toward competition in the Classic and Single Stack divisions, and it shows in the details. The single-action trigger breaks clean, the steel-on-steel fit is tight for solid lockup, and the full-size dimensions deliver a long sight radius for precise aiming. It runs a frame-mounted manual safety plus the grip safety, so cocked-and-locked carry works exactly the way 1911 shooters know and trust.

A Classic Feel in Stainless

There's something to be said for a heavy, all-steel 1911 in .45 ACP, and the FT1911 nails that feel. Whether you're punching paper, running a match, or just enjoying a day at the range, this Tanfoglio brings old-school 1911 character together with quality Italian manufacturing. It's a satisfying shooter that rewards good fundamentals and looks sharp doing it.

Is the FT1911 set up for cocked-and-locked carry?

Yes. The FT1911 uses a traditional 1911 setup with a frame-mounted manual thumb safety plus a beavertail grip safety, which is exactly what you need for cocked-and-locked carry. The controls sit in standard 1911 positions, so the manual of arms will feel familiar to anyone who has run a 1911.
