The M1911 Colt Government pistol (so named because it was the standard sidearm of the US Armed Forces for over seventy years) is a single-action, semi-automatic, recoil-operated firearm designed by John Browning—the magisterial Mormon pioneer of the automatic weapon, whose collaborations with the Winchester, Colt, and Remington companies launched the weapons industry into a world of self-loading physical spectacles every bit as marvelous, and revolutionary, as the steam engine.
