The "P" on the 1911A1 refers to the "Pistol," indicating it is a designation for the M1911 pistol, which was adopted by the U.S. military in 1911 and modified in 1924 to become the 1911A1. The "A1" designation signifies the improvements made to the original design, including changes to the grip and sights for better handling and accuracy. This model became iconic and is recognized for its role in military history.
