Description:
The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. The design was the end-result of a series of developments by famous gun designer John Browning, starting with the Model 1900. The advances made by Browning were revolutionary at the time, and were so successful that they are considered commonplace today. Browning not only developed first a pivoting and then a tilting barrel to allow for a locked system, he developed the concept of "the slide", which is now synonymous with semi-automatic handguns.
This example was produced by Colt in 1943 as the design saw some tweaks and changes. This pistol was made after the switch to parkerized finishing. It has the later-style ramped front sight which replaced the earlier rounded blade and a square notch rear sight which replaced the "U"-notches. The hammer has the original wide-spur which would soon be replaced by a spur of the same width as the body. The slide stop and thumb safety are checkered, each of which would eventually be serrated. The grips are the third type of Colt plastic grips with large reinforcement rings and reinforcement ribs on the interior. In all, this is a great example of a 1943 production Colt M1911A1. It was produced when the slides were still serialized, so it's nice for the collectors to know that the slide is original to the frame. The pistol is in Very Good condition, retaining about 85% of its metal finish, a good bore and strong mechanics. It is in good shape for a service pistol which may have seen use in the world's most destructive conflict, and will make a nice addition to a Colt or WWII small arms collection
