Also known as: M1911A1, コルト・ガバメント, コルトガバメント
An American single-action, semi-automatic Handgun designed by John Moses Browning. Its short-recoil operation with a reciprocating slide highly influenced modern pistol designs.
The M1911 is visually identifiable by its external hammer, a beaver tail safety, both grip panels being held by two Screws and a thumb safety. Chambered for the .45 ACP Cartridge, the standard magazine capacity is seven rounds. In 1924, the M1911 was largely revised into the M1911A1, with a shorter trigger and a longer back spur. It was the standard sidearm of the U.S. Military from 1911 to 1985.
This tag applies to any M1911-styled handgun, regardless of specific model.
