OVERVIEW
A faithful reproduction of the WWI Model 1911 U.S. Military sidearm. Throughout American History, Colt's weapons have given American Servicemen the confidence to succeed in combat. As the Colt Walker and Peacemaker revolvers contributed immeasurably to American success in past conflicts, Colt's 1911 pistols and their descendents were in the hands of confident, WWI, WWII, Korean and Vietnam American Servicemen. In recognition of the contribution of the Colt .45, Colt reproduces it in detail, including packaging.   Each 1911 will be shipped with an original WWI style screwdriver.
