The iconic 1911 was the standard American military sidearm adopted in March 1911 and has since become one of the most recognizable handguns in history. In the early 1920s, it evolved into the 1911A1 model, which introduced several ergonomic enhancements such as a longer hammer spur, extended safety tang, a longer trigger with a relief cut, a widened front sight, and an arched mainspring housing. All parts between variants remained interchangeable. During wartime, contracts were awarded to several manufacturers including Colt, Remington Rand, Ithaca, Union Switch & Signal, Singer Sewing Machine, and Canadian firms. Remington Rand was the largest producer during WWII. Civilian production versions featured a "C" prefix in the serial number. A precision variant known as the National Match was introduced in 1933 and later rebranded as the Gold Cup in 1957. The lightweight Commander model followed in 1949. Over 3 million units have been produced, and the magazine is interchangeable across military, civilian, and foreign copies.
