The 1911: Designed to Perform

The Colt 1911 pistol is famous for being the first self-loading semi-auto handgun adopted by the U.S. military under the name M1911. It was chosen for two major reasons:

  • Reliability: A prototype 1911 famously fired 6000 .45 ACP rounds in 1910 without jamming once.
  • Power: It was originally chambered for .45 ACP, which provided adequate firepower to perform well in a variety of environments.

This superior design ended up proving itself timeless. The M1911A1 remained the standard issue sidearm for American armed forces until it was replaced by the Beretta M9 in 1986, chambered for the NATO-standard 9mm cartridge. Today, the 1911 pistol remains in use by militaries, law enforcement officers, and civilians all over the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1911 pistol good for?

Designed for military use, it's no surprise that the 1911 is great for personal and home defense. It's exceptionally reliable with a compact build, smooth trigger pull, and clean break. All these traits come together to make a gun that performs well and is easy to shoot – exactly what you need in high-pressure moments when your life is on the line.

Is a 1911 handgun better than a Glock?

Glock handguns are the most popular self-defense firearms in the nation, especially for use as an EDC and CCW. Like the 1911, they're high-performance firearms that are user-serviceable and reliable. However, the Glock has a bit more aftermarket customization than the 1911. If customization is important to you, we recommend opting for a Glock model.

Can your 1911 pistols for sale be shipped directly to my home?

Unfortunately, all firearm purchases can only be delivered to someone with a FFL. That means that you will have to have your order delivered to a local FFL dealer for pickup. We recommend reaching out to the dealer prior to ordering to confirm they will accept and sign for the package.

Shop Handguns For Sale Built For Your Needs

Semi-auto handguns are a staple of gun collections, but not just because of the versatility of a single gun. It's because there are pistols designed for a range of specific applications. Here are some of the most common ones:

  • Concealed Carry: CCWs are compact, lightweight, and typically chambered in smaller calibers like 9mm Luger.
  • Tactical Versatility: Firearms like AR-15 pistols are designed to be adaptable for a variety of tactical situations.
  • Fun Guns: A .50 AE handgun isn't practical, but it feels incredible to shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a semi-automatic pistol?

Semi-automatic handguns, also known as "self-loading" or "repeating" pistols, are guns that automatically load the next cartridge from a magazine (or, if it's an antique, a clip) when the round in the chamber is fired. However, unlike fully automatic weapons, each chambered round requires its own individual trigger pull.

Are your semi-auto handguns for sale legal?

While fully automatic weapons have some legal restrictions, such as additional permits or statewide bans, semi-auto firearms don't. While you still need to do some paperwork and get a license to buy one, they're one of the easiest types of firearms to purchase. The vast majority of our handguns are perfectly legal to purchase nationwide, but always check your local gun regulations before ordering.

Can you ship your handguns for sale to my home?

When you buy guns online, they can't be sent straight to your home. It needs to be shipped to and picked up from your local FFL dealer in what's called an "FFL transfer." Before ordering, make sure to ask your dealer of choice if they're willing to accept your package. If they didn't know to expect your package or downright refuse, they'll likely send it back to us.
