Colt model #1911 is a semi automaic 45 caliber pistol that was the standard military side arm for years.

Still used by some SEALs and other Special Forces. I saw several in the DEVGRU (casually known as Seal Team Six) armory at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story when I was working for the Navy Facilities Engineering Command.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. My grandson qualified with a 9mm a couple of months ago, Expert, and I know there has been talk of the Marine Corps reverting back to the 1911 for the same reason they went to it in the first place. But as I understand it, only talk.
