Colt M1911A1 (.45 ACP)

Notes

The standard military sidearm of the United States until the late 1980s, the M1911A1 has been supplanted as general issue by the 9mm M9.  However, M9 procurement has never been sufficient to completely replace the M1911A1 in military use, and thus it is still encountered, especially in National Guard units.

A number of civilian versions of the M1911A1 Are made, including conversions to other calibers.  The conversion to 10mm is among the most popular.

This weapon was rated, not designed, using Fire, Fusion & Steel.
