Unfortunately, this is also incorrect.highpower3006 said:All 1911's made before the Series 70 guns are standard old 1911 and 1911A1's.
Strictly speaking, before every gunmaker, shoemaker, watchmaker, and self-styled "machinist" started churning out firearms they call "1911," there were NO "1911" or "1911A1" firearms. The military models were either M1911 or M1911A1, and the commercial models (made only by Colt) were called "Government Model." Then, more recently, Colt added the "Commander" to the line, and still later the "Combat Commander" and "Officers ACP."
