The 1911 pistol is considered by many gun collectors and veterans the greatest self-loading pistol ever made, and the grandfather of the modern handgun which, despite its age, is still used alongside modern pistols today. Designed by John Moses Browning in 1910 with patent dates going as far back as 1897, the .45 caliber pistol was adopted into the U.S. military arsenal February 14, 1911. Browning had combined traits of his former pistols and built a prototype around the recently-developed .45 ACP round. The end result was the M1911.
 
 
 
Browning sold the pistol to Colt, the first major company that would market the handgun. During initial testing in the military trials, the M1911 fired 1000 rounds flawlessly, becoming the first self-loading pistol to pass with a 100% grade. After World War I, the military modified the M1911 design to optimize it for combat, adding a slightly larger ejection port, shortening the trigger and arching the main-spring housing to allow the gun to better fit in the user's hand. The new firearm was called the Colt M1911A1. Many companies manufactured the 1911 for the U.S. military besides Colt, including Remington and Springfield Armory. The M1911A1's power and reliability kept it in circulation through the Korean and Vietnam Wars before the pistol began showing its age.  However, it should be noted that at the time that the military began looking for a new sidearm no new M1911's had been purchased since 1945 (Note; this statement only applies to large contract orders, many small special purpose purchases have been made for 1911 pattern pistols since). In the 1980's the U.S. Military held new military trials, during which they tested numerous pistols, the finalists being the SIG-Sauer P226 and the Beretta 92F. Due to the high price of the SIG-Sauer's magazines, the 92F was chosen to replace the M1911A1, a highly controversial decision to this day.
 
 
 
The M1911A1 remains alive in the hands of many gun enthusiasts and many U.S. Military special forces. Modern incarnations include models built by Colt, responsible for the M1991A1, Commander and Officers series, Springfield Armory which faithfully continues building 1911's based on their original designs. Para Ordinance manufactures a number of high-capacity double stack variations, including the P-13 and P-14 and the LDA (Light Double Action). Kimber who is acknowleged as the first large scale factory mass produced "custom" 1911 manufacturer produces versions such as the Desert Warrior and the Custom II, variations that Special forces and SWAT teams use.
 
 
Countless foreign copies are also in circulation, including Llamas, Mausers, and Argentinian clones. Despite being almost 100 years old, the 1911 pistol continues to be manufactured with almost no major design changes, and has proven itself as one of the greatest handguns ever made.

==M1911==
 
[[Image:COLTM1911 1913.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Original Colt M1911 (dated 1913) - .45 acp]]
 
The original M1911 first issued to the U.S. Military during WWI. When identifying, note a smaller ejection port (not visible in photo), smaller grip safety spur, original diamond cut checker wood grips, lack of curved mainspring housing (on the rear of the grip below the grip safety), longer trigger, lack of trigger finger recess frame cuts and a larger hammer spur.

The U.S. military was re-issued the 1911 pistol in 1924, now designated the M1911A1. Changes to the gun included a larger ejection port, a shortened trigger, a longer grip-safety spur to prevent hammer bite, seriated front sight, a slightly shaved hammer spur to recuce hammer bite, a curved mainspring housing, simplified checkered grips (although diamond grips still appeared on some), and relief cuts around the trigger guard on the frame.

== Auto Ordnance M1911A1 ==
 
Although it sometimes has a longer trigger, it is impossible to differentiate from a genuine M1911A1 at a distance or in the hands of an actor. The easiest way to identify it is the slanted grooves on the slide. The Auto Ordnance company is best known for it's "Tommy guns",  they also manufactured 1911 pattern pistols, at times to varying degree of quality depending on the ownership at time of production.

The Commander model 1911 is basically a moderately scaled down M1911A1 produced in various styles since 1951, and was chambered in 9x19 mm Parabellum, .45 ACP, and .38 Super.  There are several versions of the Commander.  The original aluminum framed "Commander" was renamed the "Lightweight Commander" in 1970, when other versions of this type appeared.  The "Combat Commander" is an all steel version introduced in 1970.  Later versions include the Colt Commander Gold Cup National Match, the Combat Elite, and the Concealed Carry Officer's model, which mated the Commander slide & barrel with the smaller frame of the Colt Officer's Model.

The Ballester Molina .45 is an Argentine copy of the Colt M1911.  It has a few minor cosmetic differences but magazines and some other parts will interchange. To tell it from a genuine US 1911, look at the hammer, which is different in shape, and note the lack of a grip safety.

Similar to the P-14, the Para Ordnance LDA (Light Double Action) is a full size, double stack .45 caliber, holding 14 shots. Unlike the P-14 or any other 1911 before though, it is outfitted with a double action trigger. They are built as double/singles with exposed hammers and double action only models with shaved down flat hammers.
