"MODEL 1911 & 1911A1 MILITARY PISTOLS" US WW1 WW2 COLT .45 GUN REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The Colt .45 automatic pistol was developed for the US Army in 1911 after the .38 revolver failed to stop charging Moro warriors in the Philippines. The US Army issued the powerful .45 during WW1 and WW2, and it quickly became the most iconic pistol in American military history. The Model 1911 has been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Joe Poyer to write an informative technical guide/reference book on the subject in 2008, reprinted in a third edition in 2017.
