M1911

The M1911 is a classic semi-automatic handgun designed by John Browning and adopted by the U.S. military in 1911. It uses a single-action mechanism, meaning it requires the hammer to be cocked before firing. Known for its reliability, durability, and stopping power, it typically chambers a .45 caliber round. The M1911 has been widely used by military, law enforcement, and civilians, and many consider it an iconic firearm due to its historical significance and enduring design. Its straightforward operation and robust construction have kept it a popular choice for nearly a century.
