  A:

  Christopher, this Commander is a Series 80 Firing System Sir. The Taurus Commander also includes a firing pin disconnect safety to prevent accidental discharge when dropped. A firing pin block lever pushes the firing pin block out of the way as the trigger is pulled. I would verify if a Series 70 version of the Commander is available directly with Taurus as I have not been able to find one. Taurus Customer Service is (800) 327-3776 Monday thru Friday* – 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM (EST).
• Q: Is this the commander 1911 that has a barrel bushing? I want to replace the full length guide rod with a GI length GR. Can I do that with this pistol? Want to make sure this is NOT a bull barrel 1911 commander. Thanks.

  A:

  Christopher, yes Sir. This Taurus Commander uses a traditional barrel and muzzle bushing set up with a one-piece recoil guide rod. This is a standard and not Bull Barrel pistol. Details just a little over half way down here : https://www.range365.com/gun-review-taurus-1911-commander/

  A:

  This 1911 features a steel frame and slide. Taurus does not currently make any 1911s with polymer frames, according to their web site.
