A gun that looks real but only fires Blanks not real bullets.
The Colt M1911 and the colt M1911A has only 1 caliber .45 or 45/100 of an inch. This round is also known as the colt .45 A.C.P. (all Colt pistols) It is a short round which differs from the .45 long round.
The 1963 Arizona colt commemorative edition gun retails for $1,995.00. This particular model only had 1280 pistols issued.
Yes Pistols of that time were one shot through one barrel. The only way to increase capacity was to add more barrels. Multi-barrel pistols did exist but they were clumsy, and before the Colt of 1835 there was a primitive kind of revolver known as a pepperbox. The Colt had a great advantage over most pistols in life-or-death circumstances, but a British officer in the Crimean War attributed his survival to his double-action Adams revolver. He was set upon by five enemies so quickly that he claimed he could not have cocked the single-action Colt in time to save himself.
suggest you check writting on barrel. it should indicate caliber..............
Development of selfloading pistols by Colt seems to have begun before 1900, while the specific designs that result in the M1911 was furthered from around 1904-05 onwards. Final designs tested at the end of 1910 decided between the Colt and its only rival (the Colt passing with no malfunctions where the opponent had almost 40). It was formally adopted in March 1911, hence the designation.
I have very little information on the pistol. However I see that it is a Target or Match pistol. This tells me that it most likely only fires around 500 FPS like most match pistols. These pistols are not known for speed but are known for accuracy. That's why they are considered Match/Target pistols. As an example the NEW FAS 609 only has a velocity of 500 FPS but is dead accurate. The only importer in the USA is Airguns of Arizona in Gilbert AZ.
only small amount of fires
The british used rifles with bayonets. Only important officers had pistols during that time.
smith and weeson sells pistols but remington only shot guns and rifles
General George S. Patton wore a set of matching pearl handled pistols. The above answer, and the question which preceded it, are based on misconceptions of the American press during World War 2. Patton had two Colt .45 pistols with ivory handles instead of mother-of-pearl, but he only wore one at a time, not both. Under his uniform tunic he carried a .32 pistol as a backup.
The COLT 1911 was only made in the US- there are other 1911 style pistols made elsewhere, but they are not Colts. The name changed to 1911AI in the early 20th century, so there are a LOT more 1911A1s than 1911s. There were about 2.7 million military 1911A1s made during it's service life (by Colt, Ithaca, Remington, etc) and likely several million civilian versions.
