The first M1911A1 military pistols were produced in 1924, but were originally designated the Improved Model of 1911.

Please contact me through the site with any questions about the information provided in this post. Those specific differences may be more difficult to distinguish, but anyone can determine what type of pistol they have (military or commercial) with the information provided here. There are specific differences by year and serial range in the finishes and characteristics of Colt commercial Government Model pistols and the military M1911 or M1911A1 pistols.
If you have a military pistol, or a pistol produced outside the United States to discuss, this is NOT the correct forum. You should only be discussing the C&R Commercial Colt pistols listed under the Title of this forum in this area. There seems to be a lot of confusion for many regarding what type of pistol they mercial Government Model or military M1911 or M1911A1? I hope this will help.
