3. The 1911 is the most American pistol there is. It has remained in military service for over
100 years. It has won many shooting matches and is consistently praised for its
performance.
5. “I’m going to buy a 1911,” is as specific as saying “I’m going to buy a car.” Over 50
companies produce their own take on the 1911, although Colt was the first and most notable
manufacturer.
6. Many small companies just produced parts at first to keep
up with the demand of the US military. Later on these
companies decided to manufacture full-blown 1911’s
8. There is no “best” 1911, just like there is no “best” car. Personal preference plays a huge
role, and because so many companies manufacture the 1911 you can find one that is
perfect for you.
10. If you’re having trouble deciding what is right for you there are some very high quality
models sure to treat you right. Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Nighthawk and Les Baer all
produce superb 1911’s
