A detailed, illustrated look at the Colt M1911, one of the most well-known and popular military weapons of the 20th century. The Colt M1911 is one of the most well-known and popular military weapons of the 20th century. Designed by John Browning, this pistol, with its legendary reliability and firepower, represents the developmental starting point of a majority of automatic pistols to this day. It was the standard-issue sidearm of the US armed forces for more than 70 years and is still in use throughout the world. This detailed, illustrated book features the M1911 from its initial design, manufacturing, and testing, through its combat use in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Through more than 370 images, this title includes close-up views of markings, as well as a serial numbers list, and a visual breakdown of the weapon. Accessories such as magazines, ammunition, holsters, and cleaning kits are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen combat-related uniform and equipment items.

The GREAT Model 1911
DEEP dive into the Colt (and others) Model 1911. U.S. Military side arm for an amazing 85 years and still relevant for more than 100 years. If you love the Colt M1911 .45 Automatic Pistol: M1911, M1911A1 this is one of the comprehensive books you need.

Good coffee table book
It's got great photos and a good amount of information but it's nowhere close to a reference book, which the description doesn't really clarify. Stick it out on your coffee table and have fun with it but it doesn't have the detail I thought it would provide. It's otherwise well constructed and excellent pictures.

Great reference book
While I like the information and photo layout, I have to wonder why this book couldn't be printed in Europe or North America? Most of the folks that buy books like this aren't too poor to cough up another $10 or $15.

Riqueza de Detalhes
Todos os livros desta série são imperdíveis, pela riqueza de detalhes e exatidão dos aspectos históricos envolvendo os armamentos. Quando houver liquidação, compro outros exemplares. Recomendo, inclusive aos interessados na História da Segunda Guerra Mundial
