Model of the pistol Denix D7/1312 Colt 1911A1 (MMG, Colt)

Description of the model of the pistol Denix D7 1312 Colt 1911A1 (MMG, Colt, plastic handle)

It's hard to believe that such a functional weapon was made more than a hundred years ago. The self-loading Colt M1911 was developed in 1911 by John Browning. After the use of this pistol by American troops in World War I, a number of modifications were made to the design of the weapon.

• Changed the mainspring stop
• The length of the trigger stroke was reduced, as a result of which it protruded less
• We made a recess in the frame for the index finger behind the trigger
• Changed the shape of the fuse

By 1926, the M1911A1 modification was released.

The weapon was chambered for the powerful .45 ACP cartridge (11.43×23 mm). The trigger mechanism here was single action. The initial velocity of the ammunition in the barrel during the shot reached 260 m/s. The store initially held 7, then 8 ammunition. In the latest modifications of this weapon, the magazine capacity reached 10 pieces.

This pistol was in service with the army from the time of its creation until 1985. Then the pistol became a civilian weapon. However, the US Army, in particular the Marine Corps, still uses a modification of the Colt pistol - the MEU(SOC) pistol.

A model of this weapon is published in the series “World Wars I and II from 1914 to 1945” by Denix. The European company Denix produces models of popular firearms. The mass-dimensional model of Colt comes out with the title “Mock-up of a pistol from the manufacturer Denix D7/1312 brand Colt 1911A1 (in the form of an MMG, weapon - Colt).”

It’s worth buying a model of the Denix D7 1312 Colt 1911A1 pistol (MMG, plastic handle, Colt) because this model is collapsible. Thus, such a model can be disassembled as a military weapon, which makes it possible to use it to train the skills of disassembling and assembling such pistols. The price of a model pistol from Denix D7/1312 model Colt 1911A1 (MMG, metal, Colt) is lower than that of a model that fires blank cartridges.

At the same time, the model retains the external parameters of the combat pistol. The length here is also 240 mm, which will allow the weapon model to fit into a standard type holster. At the same time, both a shoulder and a waist holster will fit the pistol.

The weight of models of Denix D7 1312 Colt 1911A1 pistols (Colt USA, MMG) is no more than 920 grams. So carrying a weapon will not take away the owner’s strength.

The pistol is cast from metal with further bluing. There are plastic linings on the handle for easy holding of the weapon.

The store here is of a detachable type. Just like in a firearm, pressing a button on the handle causes the magazine to exit the barrel.

This weapon model is suitable for reenactors and is successfully used in theatrical shows and photo shoots.

pistol Colt Government Colt M1911 / M1911A1 (USA)

The Colt M1911 pistol (commercial designation Colt Government model) was developed in the USA by John Moses Browning at Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing between 1905 and 1910 to participate in a pistol competition for the US Army. In 1911, the pistol was adopted by the US Army.

In 1926, the pistol underwent a partial modernization, and from then until the mid-1980s it remained in active military service under the designation M1911A1, thus becoming the longest-serving army pistol. In addition to the USA, Colt M1911 and Colt M1911A1 pistols were in service in Argentina, Brazil, Great Britain, Norway, and many other countries around the world.

During the Second World War, in addition to the Colt company, a number of private firms and government arsenals were engaged in the production of M1911 pistols on behalf of the US government. Currently, the number of large and medium-sized companies alone producing M1911-type pistols in a variety of modifications in the United States significantly exceeds a dozen. Moreover, even such companies that are competitors of Colt, such as Smith & Wesson and SIG-Sauer, already established the production of clones of the M1911 pistol at the beginning of the 21st century. In addition to the USA, variants and clones of the M1911 / M1911A1 are produced in Brazil, Italy, Israel, Canada, China, and the Philippines.

Colt M1911A1 pistol, military version

Since 1970, Colt began producing the Series 70 pistols, which feature a bushing design that holds the muzzle of the barrel in the bolt, which improves shooting accuracy. Since 1983, the Series 70 was replaced by the Series 80 pistols, which are distinguished by the introduction of an automatic safety into the design, blocking the firing pin until the trigger is fully pressed.

An interesting military version of the M1911A1 pistol, still in limited service with the US Marine Corps (MCC), is the M1911A1 MEU(SOC) (Marine Expeditionary Unit - Special Operations Capable) pistol. This pistol is based on the standard Colt M1911A1 pistols in the weapons division of the USMC training battalion, based at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia. These pistols are designed to arm Marines from the USMC Expeditionary Force, and are used by various special units of the USMC. The M1911A1 MEU(SOC) pistols differ from conventional M1911A1 pistols by the careful hand-fitting of all parts, as well as the installation of a number of commercial-style parts, including an extended safety lever duplicated on both sides of the frame, enlarged sights, and non-slip rubber grips. Instead of conventional military magazines, commercial magazines made of stainless steel are used. In terms of combat characteristics, M1911A1 MEU(SOC) pistols do not differ from conventional M1911A1 army pistols, with the exception of higher shooting accuracy. A development of the M1911A1 MEU(SOC) was the M45 pistol manufactured by Colt, which was adopted in 2012, differing from commercial Government model series 80 pistols mainly in the external finish and the presence of a Picatinny-type guide on the frame under the barrel.

The Colt M1911 pistol is built on the basis of automation using recoil energy with a short barrel stroke. The barrel is locked by two lugs located on the upper surface of the barrel in front of the breech. The stops fit into corresponding grooves on the inner surface of the top of the bolt. The lowering of the breech of the barrel when unlocking is carried out using a swinging earring connecting the breech of the barrel with the frame. The lower axis of the earring is the transverse axis of the bolt stop lever. In the muzzle of the bolt there is a removable bushing that holds the muzzle of the barrel. The return spring is located under the barrel. The trigger mechanism is hammer-operated, single action. The trigger design includes a disconnector that prevents firing when the bolt is not fully closed, as well as an automatic safety device on the back of the handle. When the handle is properly grasped, the automatic safety releases the sear, allowing the shot to be fired. A feature of the trigger is that the trigger does not swing on a transverse axis, but moves longitudinally in the frame - translationally, and is connected to the sear by two symmetrical rods, covering the magazine shaft in the weapon handle from the sides. The non-automatic fuse is located on the left side of the frame and, when turned on, blocks the sear and bolt. On a number of modern models, including the M45, the safety levers are located on both sides of the weapon. The magazine release button is located at the base of the trigger guard. In military versions, the sight is open and non-adjustable. Commercial versions may have adjustable sights.
