Is a polymer framed 1911 being introduced by Taurus at the 2010 SHOT Show? Maybe…
I received an interesting, and unverified, e-mail tonight. The writer claims to have ‘insider’ information about some of the new products that Taurus is introducing at the 2010 SHOT Show. The one he described to me was a polymer framed 1911.
The writer described the pistol as having the same features and function of a full-sized 1911 pistol, with the obvious change of a plastic instead of metal frame. I asked for more information (single-stack or double-stack, etc.), but do not have anything else yet.
Keep in mind that none of this is verified. It may be (and probably is) total bunk. However, I have heard rumors of a polymer framed 1911 being offered in the future from another manufacturer, so the idea isn’t totally alien. If I get more information, I will let you know.
