m1911
Firearm
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1986. It was first used in later stages of the Philippine-American War, and was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The pistol's formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam era.
In total, the U.S. procured around 2.7 million M1911 and M1911A1 pistols in military contracts during its service life. The M1911 was replaced by the 9mm Beretta M9 pistol as the standard U.S. sidearm in October 1986, but due to its popularity among users, it has not been completely phased out. Modernized derivative variants of the M1911 are still in use by some units of the U.S. Army Special Forces, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.
Designed by John Browning, the M1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widely copied, and this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. It is popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as USPSA, IDPA, International Practical Shooting Confederation, and Bullseye shooting. Compact variants are popular civilian concealed carry weapons, because of the design's relatively slim width and the power of the .45 ACP cartridge.
Colt Wiley Clapp Government model. This is the early one from Talo coming with the Colt Custom Shop box and outer sleeve. Three digit s/n, all original. I fired it 100 rounds when I got it 10 or so years ago after buying it locally from an estate.
Great example — bluing is even, barrel fit is...
Really cool gun, but doesn't "fit" in my collection. Shoots excellent, every nice fit, finish, what you'd expect in a $1300 gun. I am looking for trades, part or whole, 2:1 either way etc.. Comes with case, 2 mags, and also an Sig threaded barrel that has been fitted, it currently has a Wilson...
I had probably 100 rds through it. I am looking to sell, or trade for a SW M&P 2.0 9mm with flat face trigger or P320.
Let me know if you have any question. Meeting at A Cut Above Pawn is preferred!
Pretty cool, right? According to Brenda, on the left you have the original Hillsdale era Concept VII Comanche made in September '95, and on the right you have a whole other topend that Les Baer made for the gun in April '04. '95 slide marries to the frame tighter than any 1911 I've ever owned...
I bought this to build my own 2011 and didn't realize it would be a pita to find affordable 2011 magazines in 45acp. Part of me wants to just eat the cost and get another kit in 9mm but I think perhaps if I could trade or sell this, I will instead! edit: im keeping this after all, I can settle...
Hello,
I have a like new Rock Island 1911 in 45ACP. Ambidextrous safety, thin g10 grips, Wilson combat, Chip McCormick and other magazines.
I impulse bought it last year after 114 was voted in, only put one magazine through it in the last year. It has a small mark near the safety. I'm guessing...

I've had this unit for almost 10 years and never got around to building it on a dedicated frame. The idea was to create the most accurate competition 45 range-toy. It cost me $1,600+ at the time and I've never even mounted it, it is still in the original box with all the goodies. I've seen this...
