Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985 through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as reliable handguns with plenty of stopping power and are held in high regard by those who have used them. The design was the end result of a series of developments by famous gun designer John Browning, starting with the Model 1900. The advances made by Browning were revolutionary at the time and were so successful that they are considered commonplace today.
Browning not only developed first a pivoting and then a tilting barrel to allow for a locked system, but he also developed the concept of “the slide”, which is now synonymous with semi-automatic handguns. Having secured a contract for the US Military sidearm, Colt also offered the pistol to the commercial market as the “Government Model”. This is a WWI Replica 100-year anniversary Colt commercial Government Model made in 2011.
This Colt pistol is a faithful reproduction of a Colt M1911 pistol produced during WWI and is NOT equipped with a firing pin safety mechanism (which is found in all Colts manufactured since the mid-1980s). If this firearm is carelessly or improperly handled, unintentional discharge could result and could cause injury, death, or damage to property.
