American GI 45 Automatic - Blued Finish Replica Pistol

On March 29th, 1911, the Browning-designed, Colt-produced .45 Automatic pistol, was selected as the official sidearm of the Armed Forces of U.S.A., and named Model 1911. This M1911 was the standard government issue sidearm for the US soldier since 1911. The Colt Model 1911 was slightly improved in early 1920's when the flat mainspring housing was replaced with an arched one (not a wise selection according to my personal opinion), a shorter hammer spur was used, a short trigger was made standard as well as a longer grip safety. The new model was named Colt M-1911 A1 Government Model. In this form, the gun was produced during the remaining years until WW II, when military requirements were met by production of M-1911 by several firearms manufacturers such as Ithaca, Remington-Rand, Union Switch etc. Several thousands of this firearm were produced during the war period. Our zinc die-cast all metal replica pistol has the same weight, look and feel as the original.This classic reproduction has over 30 metal and wood parts. A great gift for our American Armed Forces men and women!
