Bainbridge, GA)– Taurus, manufacturer of premium handguns for defense, hunting, and sport shooting, congratulates Taurus Shooting Team Captain Jessie Harrison for her incredible performance at the recent World Speed Shooting Championships. The event was held April 15-18 at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama.

Harrison, one of the world’s top-ranked professional shooters, took the Ladies Open Champion, High Overall Lady title at the 2021 WSSC competition. This win marks Harrison’s 13th capture of the Ladies Open world title. Equally impressive is that Harrison twice beat her own records in this year’s event.

“I set two new Ladies Stage World Records in Single Stack division,” said Harrison. “On stage ‘Five to Go,’ the previous stage time record set by me in 2016 was a 14.12. This time, I shot a 12.52 stage time. On stage ‘Outer Limits,’ the previous stage time record set by me in 2016 was 16.37. I beat that record this year with a 16.27.”

Competing in the Single Stack and Open divisions, Harrison used a Taurus 1911 single-stack 9mm and a custom Taurus 1911 open gun in 9mm, respectively.

“I always love shooting steel challenge. It’s one of the purest shooting sports I compete in — a mix between speed and accuracy in a stand-and-deliver fashion. The only way to improve is to better your skill! My Taurus 1911s have continued to perform and meet the challenges in this arena, showing that this platform is extremely capable!”
