Some are faithful to the original, while others stray. In honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Guns & Ammo offers a look at modern so-described “mil-spec” M1911A1s in. To ease production costs, adapt the design to modern manufacturing and make M1911A1s more enjoyable to shoot, most are a blend of traditional and modern features. The M1911A1 was functional but basic, and in the last 75 years many brands have offered their own twist.
Nearly 1.9 million 1911A1 pistols were built during the war. Each of the brands had unique roll stamps that identified the gun’s maker, model, patent numbers, and noted that the pistols were U.S. A number of manufacturers were building them including Colt, Ithaca Gun Company, Remington Rand, Singer and Union Switch & Signal. These changes took effect in 1924, starting around serial number 700,000, and the Model 1911 update was designated the M1911A1.īy 1943, World War II M1911A1s featured brown plastic grip panels and a Parkerized finish. After World War I, the military’s Model 1911 underwent minor changes including, among other things, a shorter trigger with frame cuts to shorten the reach, improved sights, an arched mainspring housing and a redesigned grip safety.
