Smith & Wesson's Performance Center produces the top-of-the-line hand-fitted competition version knowns as the PC 1911. While most 1911s run around 38 to 39 ounces (1,100 to 1,100 g), the PC 1911 is heavier, at approximately 41 ounces (1,200 g).
The Steyr M1912, also known as the Steyr-Hahn, is a semi-automatic pistol that was developed in 1911 by the Austrian firm Steyr Mannlicher.The design was based on the rotating barrel locking mechanism of the Roth–Steyr M1907 but replaced the external striker with a spur hammer ("Hahn") and simplified disassembly to allow for field stripping under adverse conditions.
It initially produced only a variant of the 1911 pistol (the BUL M-5). Later it began producing the BUL Storm and BUL Cherokee series of pistols, both CZ 75 variants. The Storm and Cherokee are chambered only in the 9mm Parabellum while the M-5 is chambered in 9mm Parabellum , 9x21, 9x23, .38 Super , .40 S&W , and .45 ACP .
The pistol can be "field stripped" by partially retracting the slide, removing the slide stop, and removing the barrel bushing. Full disassembly (and subsequent reassembly) of the pistol to its component parts can be accomplished using several manually removed components as tools to complete the disassembly. [citation needed]
SIG Sauer of Newington, New Hampshire, manufactures a full line of 1911 styled handguns.The earliest models were very faithful to the John M. Browning designed Colt M1911 Pistol which became the United States standard sidearm and served in that capacity for some seven decades before being replaced by the Beretta M9 handgun.
RIA (Rock Island Armory) 1911s are derivatives of the US Military G.I. M1911-A1, the standard issue US Service pistol from 1911 to 1985. [3] Most RIA models are targeted at the low-end price point of the 1911 pistol market and are basic entry-level MIL-SPEC versions of the 1911. [4] However, some models offer additional higher-end features.
A barrel chamber with pressure relief ports that allows gas to leak around the cartridge during extraction. Basically, the opposite of a fluted chamber, as it is intended for the cartridge to stick to the chamber wall making a slight delay of extraction. This requires a welded-on sleeve with an annular groove to contain the pressure. [8]
The AF2011-A1 Double Barrel Pistol comes actually as the very first industrial double barrel semiautomatic pistol of all time. The original idea came about ten years back to Swiss armourer Vivian Mueller, who at the time experienced cutting and welding together multiple parts of the famous Sig P210: the result was a long slide, double barrel 9mm, highly decorated collector piece, which indeed ...
