Remington Rand was the star example of this project’s success, and by the end of the war would go on to produce just about as many as all of the other maker’s combined, at the lowest price and highest quality. In this case, contracting pistol production out to other companies had been planned for and simplified due to educational orders and a production study, notably conducted by the Singer sewing machine company, which developed comprehensive plans and instructions for a company which had never made a 1911A1 to order materials, machinery and set up manufacturing for the pistol. As was the case at the outset of the 1st World War, demands of the US Military would outstrip the production capacity of Colt when the United States entered World War 2. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. Our Assessment: The 19-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. The magazine has light operational wear with intact feed lips and a strong spring. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.īox, Paperwork & Accessories: This pistol comes with a single blued 7-round magazine, marked “S” on the top of the floorplate.
