  • Designed by famous gun designer John Browning, the M1911 is the first pistol been used by all branches of U.S. military. Its eventually replaced in 1985, largely by Baretta M92, designated M9, along with Glock 17 and SIG Sauer P220 series.

It is still frequently used in the American military, especially Special Operations units. It was first deployed by the US in the First World War and also saw service in all the theatres of WWII. It fired a .45 caliber ACP round (Automatic Colt Pistol) from a seven round detachable magazine, similar to modern-day pistols, but its .45 cailber round makes it very powerful, the gun is pretty lethal in 200 yards, at at that distance, one .45 ACP round has a good chance to stop an enemy soldier and it packs more punch than the M1 Carbine. It was exclusively issued to officers, NCO's, and service personnel that preventing them using service rifles, but later in WW2, its in most G.I.'s hands. The weapon continued to be produced and was favored by US forces due to its high stooping power, reliability and ability to withstand harsh conditions.
