The M1917 Revolver (formally United States Revolver, Caliber .45, M1917) was a U.S. six-shot revolver of .45 ACP caliber. It was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1917 to supplement the standard M1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol during World War I. Afterwards, it was primarily used by secondary and non-deployed troops. There were two variations of the M1917, one from Colt and one from S&W. Colt upgraded their .45 Long Colt New Service Revolvers to handle .45 ACP and Smith & Wesson re-chambered their own revolvers to fire .45 ACP. The two revolvers are almost identical, and the revolver helped alleviate the M1911 shortage. The M1917 also saw service in World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War.
