Following the Philippine Insurrection and ineffectiveness of the .38 caliber Colt Model 1892 Revolver, the U.S. Army began calls for a new service pistol. With horrifying reports on Moro rebels taking shot after shot of .38 Long Colt, the military would find something amazing in the proven .45 caliber: A strikingly modern design from John Browning in the novel .45 ACP.
Following the 1904 Thompson-LeGarde tests of a variety of pistol military cartridges, it became clear to those present that America’s new service sidearm “should not be of less than .45 caliber.” Already in the process of developing a semi-automatic pistol in .38 for Colt, Browning wasted no time building the pistol to meet the Army’s requirements.
Trials for America’s new service pistol would be held in 1906 with seven companies, including DWM, Savage, and Webley. After initial testing, the Savage and Colt designs would be asked to move forward, with field tests continuing between 1907 and 1911. Working with Fred Moore, Browning worked to produce the best pistol he could. This would culminate in the final trials in 1911. After 6000 rounds, Savage’s design had 37 malfunctions; The Colt had none. It would be adopted as the ‘Model of 1911 U.S. Army’.
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge that would see service with the United States Military from the Mexican Expedition and World War I to the Invasion of Grenada (with some exceptions). Despite its incredible service life of over seventy years, the overall design has remained largely unchanged. It wouldn’t be long until Browning’s design would prove itself in combat. With Mexico in disarray following revolution, rebel leaders like Pancho Villa attacked U.S. nationals and their property in Mexico. This culminated in an attack on Colombus, New Mexico in early 1916, giving President Wilson cause to push into Mexico to chase after Villa. The M1911 would serve with distinction with both infantry and cavalry in the short expedition. However it wouldn’t be until the following year when it would go through its real trial by fire.
The United States’ entry into the Great War would prove the effectiveness of the handgun, as well as bring to light any problems Browning had failed to rectify. Although less than 75,000 M1911s were available at the onset of America’s arrival, nearly 643,000 would be produced by the time of the armistice. From officer to NCO, from machine gunners to signal corps, the M1911 was a venerable sidearm that proved itself as a life saver in case of rifle malfunction or in close quarters combat. Cases like that of Sgt. York downing six Germans with the pistol and capturing another 132 only helped to build the myth surrounding the handgun. With it as a part of America’s arsenal, and with the combined efforts of Entente forces, the Hundred Days Offensive would lead to the collapse of the German lines and culminate in the November 11th Armistice.
With the end of the Great War, analysis of issues with the M1911 began. However most issues were relatively minor, with the most severe problem involving the hammer biting into the soldier’s hand. A number of fixes came about to remedy such issues, mostly ergonomic, and included a larger safety spur, improved sights, and an arch on the mainspring housing. These handgun following these changes, largely intended to make shooting easier and more comfortable, would be classified as the M1911A1.
In the years leading up to the Second World War, the M1911’s prestige continued to grow as it was adopted and produced by other nations, including Norway, Argentina, Mexico, and Spain. As the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor plunged America into the war, Roosevelt quickly moved to turn civilian production towards a war economy. Unable to keep up with demand, other companies joined in the production of M1911A1s, including Remington Rand, Ithaca Gun Company and Union Switch & Signal, producing nearly two million M1911A1 pistols through the course of the war. The pistol would follow the GI faithfully through North Africa and Europe, hop from island to island with the marine, coast the waves with the sailor, and soar through the skies with the airman.
With the surrender of Japan and the end of the World War, many optimistically returned home, hoping to get back to normal American life at home. The military downsized, and the government rationalized that no more M1911 pistols need be produced; the remainder could be repaired from new parts as the need arise. With the venerable handgun, America stepped forward into a new world, the chill of the Cold War only starting. The M1911A1 handgun would fight in China, but fail to stop the Communist takeover. It would hold its ground in the cold, mountainous terrain of Korea in the hands of Americans and Koreans alike. It would move from the freezing into the sweltering jungles of South Vietnam and Laos, always faithful, reliable, and dependable.
By the late 1970s, the venerable M1911 handguns were looking long in the tooth. With prodding from both NATO and Congress, the US military was prodded to replace the nearly seventy year old design. “Wonder Nines”, 9x19mm handguns, had rapidly grown popular throughout NATO militaries, with its lower recoil and higher magazine capacity, it was a contentious debate as lovers of the M1911 staunchly defended the veteran with arguments of stopping power and reliability. However, with the U.S. Air Force adopting the Beretta 92SB and the Army adopting the 92FS in 1985, the reign of the handgun had come to an end, save for the staunchly proud U.S. Marine Corps. They would continue to field a modernized version of the M1911A1, designated the M45 MEUSOC and later M45A1, equipped new triggers, grips, improved sights, and a picatinny rail. However, all good things must come to an end, and even these finally started to be phased out of service in 2016 in favor of Glock 19s. However in 2018 it was announced that the Marine M45’s true successor would be the newly adopted SIG Sauer M17/18 handgun.
Looking back, it’s impossible to miss the influence of the M1911 over the past century. Though he may not have realized it when he presented his design to Colt in the early years of the 20th Century, he could have hardly realized the profound effect his design would have on the advancement of pistol technology. Though not the first self-loading pistol, it was the first locked-breech recoil-operated handgun system that set the standard for nearly every other semi-automatic pistol design to come, ranging from classics like the TT-33 Tokarev, PPK, and Hi Power to modern mainstays from Glock, HK, and Beretta and more. Whilst other design attempts like toggle-lock actions faded away to the annals of firearms history, the M1911 soldiered on with a legacy built into almost every modern pistol, never to be forgotten.
In the end, a good thing can’t be kept down. Even if the M1911 has finally seen an end to its use in U.S. Military service, it’s still used by many militaries worldwide. Various law enforcement agencies continue to service the M1911 in the field. That doesn’t even mention the pistol’s extensive civilian use since its adoption. Whether it be for plinking, competition shooting, or self defence, the M1911 remains a stalwart choice for those that value a reliable handgun with a great history. Over a hundred companies from Wilson Combat and SIG Sauer to Rock Island Armories produces a version of the venerable pistol. The aftermarket for the 1911 is huge, with endless numbers of parts to suit one’s needs. Ready to serve the public for another century, it is truly a ‘classic without compromise’.
