Colt M1911

The Colt M1911 was a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol.
It was designed by John M. Browning, and was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 CE to 1985 CE.
Honor Harrington was trained in the use of this archaic weapon, and used it against Andre Warnecke and his bodyguards in 1910 PD, taking advantage of the fact that it was not noticed by sensors scanning for Diaspora-era weaponry. ()
