The famous .45 caliber semi-automatic 1911A1 was the brainchild of prolific firearms designer, John Moses Browning. Building upon on his design successes of the groundbreaking FN 1900 and Colt M1900/1902 automatics, his 1911 design was the logical refinement of the best features of its predecessors. It would go on to be actively used by the U.S. military for the next 110 years in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and still to this day with special units.
