Analysis

TAC Standard is the entry railed Government pistol in the TAC group: wood grips and Novak rear sight instead of G10 and a fully adjustable rear. It followed the earlier Single Stack Tactical naming and sits below TAC Ultra. The rail is the point of the gun; it is not a GI or Rock Standard.
