1911s have been around for over a century. Originally designed by John Moses Browning in – you guessed it – 1911, this gun has stood the test of time and remains a popular choice among gun enthusiasts today.
One of the unique features of 1911s are its single-action trigger system. Pulling the trigger only releases the hammer, which then strikes the firing pin to ignite the cartridge. The result is an incredibly smooth and crisp trigger pull.
Another interesting aspect of 1911s are its magazine capacity. Depending on the model, it can hold anywhere from seven to ten rounds of ammunition, making it one of the highest-capacity handguns available at its inception.
Of course, there have been many modifications and variations made to this firearm over time, but at its core, it remains a reliable and effective tool for self-defense or sport shooting alike. Whether you’re looking for a piece of history or just enjoy shooting high-quality guns, consider adding a 1911 handgun to your collection.
