OBS

Le Colt Modèle 1911 A1 est en fait un 1911 auquel ont été apportées quelques modifications durant les années 20, suite aux exigences de l'U.S. Ordnance et dans le cadre normal d'une réévaluation au sein de la firme Colt. C'est sous cette forme qu'on connaît le mieux le Colt. 45, puisqu'il a participé en masse à la seconde guerre mondiale.
