The Colt M1911 is a single-action semiautomatic pistol. To fire it, you must first insert a loaded magazine into the magazine well. Then pull the slide all the way back, this will cock the hammer. Release the slide and let it return to battery, this performs the action of stripping a round from the magazine and chambering it. Now align the sights on target and pull the trigger. When the pistol has expended all the rounds, the slide will lock back. At this point, press the magazine release, located at the rear of the trigger guard, and the magazine will drop to the floor.
The Colt M1911 pistol is a famous semi-automatic handgun designed by John Moses Browning and officially adopted by the United States Army on March 29, 1911. It was chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge and quickly became one of the most recognizable military sidearms of the 20th century. The pistol served with U.S. forces through World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, and remained the standard U.S. military sidearm until 1985, when it was replaced by the Beretta 92F pistol. For collectors and history enthusiasts who appreciate the design of this iconic handgun, there are also non-firing replicas available. A M1911 replica handgun such as the Denix M1911 replica pistol recreates the classic look of the original wartime sidearm using metal alloy construction and detailed grips. These replicas are commonly used for display, historical reenactments, film props, or collections. Specialty retailers like Replica Weapons Australia offer historically styled replicas inspired by the classic M1911 design for enthusiasts who want the visual authenticity of the pistol without a functioning firearm.

In my opinion the Colt M1911 is the better of the two even though the M1911 shoots a .45 ACP. The Desert Eagle is not a practical weapon because it can shoot a .50 cal. bullet and has a lot of recoil. Don't judge weapons by playing stupid Call of Duty. They know nothing about weapons.
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.
