Automatic Pistol .45 M1911A1, USA 1911 (1st and 2nd WW),8316 Non-functional replica

Reproduction of a pistol, made of metal and engraved wooden grips, with simulated loading and firing mechanism.

The M1911 is a rugged and reliable, single-action, blowback-operated, semi-automatic pistol fed from a 7-round, .45-caliber rack-and-pin magazine. It was conceived for military use by John M. Browning, who also designed the appropriate cartridge for the weapon, the .45 ACP.

On March 29, 1911, the pistol was officially accepted as a standard issue weapon of the U.S. Armed Forces, initially receiving the designation of the .45 Caliber Semi-Automatic Pistol, M1911. Later, from 1924, its designation changed to the .45 Caliber Automatic Pistol, M1911A1. In total, the Army acquired around 2.7 million pistols during its service life.

It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It remained in continuous service with the U.S. military until 1985, when it was replaced by the Beretta. Variants are still in production due to its popularity, and it remains in active service with some U.S. Special Forces, Navy, and Marine Corps units.
