The
history of the Colt M1911 Pistol began in
early 1900s, when famous designer John M.
Browning began to develop semi-automatic
pistols for Colt company. In the
1906-1907 U.S. Army announced trials to
replace its service revolvers with new,
semi-automatic pistol. Army required the
new pistol to have the caliber of 0.45
inches, so Browning designed its own
cartridge that fired 230 grains (15.64
gramms) bullet, and then, designed a new
pistol. In 1911, after extensive
testings, the new pistol and its
cartridge, designed by Browning and
manufactured by Colt, were adopted for
U.S. military service as M1911. Prior to
and during World War One, more than one
million of these guns were manufactured,
mostly by Colt and Springfield Armoury,
as well as by Remington-UMC, Burroughs,
Savage and some other companies. |

Technically,
the M1911 is a recoil operated, locked
breech semi-auto pistol. It has single
action trigger with frame mounted safety
that locks the hammer and the slide.
Hammer could be locked either in cocked
or in lowered position, allowing the gun
to be carried in "cocked and
locked" state, with safety on,
hammer cocked and round chambered.
Additional automated safety incorporated
into rear of the grip and locks the
action when gun not held in the hand
properly.
Barrel and slide are interlocked via
massive lugs onthe upper part of the
barrel, just ahead of the chamber. After
the shot is fired, the barrel and the
slide go back for the short distance,
then rear part of the barrel is lovered
by tilting link, and barrel unlocks the
slide. The slide goes all the way back,
extracting and ejecting spent case and
chambering the new round on the way back.
When magazine is empty, the magazine
follower activates slide stop that locks
the slide in the open (rear) position.
The gun is fed from the single stack,
seven round magazine. The magazine
release button is located on the left
side of the frame, just behind the
triggerguard.-(Shortened
