The 1911 platform was designed by John Browning in the late 1890s. It was designed as a military replacement for the service revolvers of the era. The Army wanted a "self-loading" handgun, which today we call semi-automatic, and John Browning took up the challenge to provide it. Several guns were run through competitive trials, and the 1911 beat them all for performance and accuracy.
The M1911 was adopted by the Army, after several modifications and testing rounds, as the official sidearm and put into service in March 1911. The Navy and Marine Corps also adopted its use in 1913. It continued to be the mainstay military sidearm through several wars, finally losing its position in another set of trials in 1985 to the Baretta 92F, though it's still used today by several Special Service units of the US and in other countries around the world.
That long-lived service record anchored it into the hearts and minds of many, and it is that affinity that helps it maintain its popularity today. You can own this iconic gun as a bb gun replica. Have fun shooting your 1911 bb pistol at home to your heart's content at a much lower price of ownership and operating cost. Collect them all and show your friends and family how much the 1911 means to you.

The 1911 beat out many different gun models through the military trials put on to find the best firearm for military use. Its reign began in 1911 when it replaced the revolver as the official sidearm and persisted until 1985 when it was dethroned by the Barretta 92F. No other weapon in history has had such a long-running use besides the sword.
Though the 1911 is no longer the official sidearm of the main military service branches, a few special units do still use it. It is currently used more by other countries' militaries and law enforcement than it is by the US.
The 1911 model handgun is very popular and therefore on the high side price-wise. Several manufacturers are still producing models of the platform that are available for civilian purchase. And of course, civilians are well able to buy any of our bb gun pistols or all of our 1911 replicas.
