Description
The Colt U.S. Army 1911 .45 ACP is the original military-issue version of the iconic Model 1911 pistol adopted by the United States Army in 1911. Designed by John Moses Browning, it is a single-action, semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, developed to meet the military’s demand for a powerful and reliable sidearm.
Featuring a 5-inch barrel, steel frame, grip safety, thumb safety, and single-stack magazine design, the U.S. Army-marked 1911 became the standard U.S. service pistol through World War I, World War II (as the later M1911A1 variant), and beyond. Early examples are marked “U.S. Army” on the frame and were manufactured primarily by Colt, along with other wartime contractors in later years.
Renowned for its durability, stopping power, and enduring design, the Colt U.S. Army 1911 remains one of the most historically significant and collectible military pistols in American history.
