First used in combat during the Punitive Expedition into Mexico and
then extensively during both World War 1 and World War 2, the Colt
Government Model (1911) pistol remained the standard issue handgun
in the US armed forces for nearly 80 years and has continued in
service with some units to this day. In fact, the M1911 has seen a
resurgence among US Special Operations units, as US Marine MARSOC
and MEUSOC personnel are issued current generation 1911-type
pistols.
In addition, the pistol has seen service with famous law
enforcement agencies such as the Shanghai Municipal Police, LAPD
Swat and Texas Rangers. Nearly a century after its introduction,
the M1911 Pistol remains a popular design and is now produced by
virtually every major firearms manufacturer doing business in the
USA.
In this new volume, handgun expert Leroy Thompson sheds new light
on the development, history and use of this revolutionary handgun,
complete with specially-commissioned artwork depicting the firing
process and cutaway profile of the gun, as well as its use in
various theaters of war.
