The '''Colt 1911''' is a single-action, semi-automatic .45 caliber pistol designed by [[John Moses Browning]]. Designs were finalized in the year 1911 (hence its designation) and it was immediately adopted by all branches of the [[United States Military]] as a standard sidearm, replacing the various revolvers used at the time.
