Thanks, it's nice to have our own M1911 Comparision image. Also, is the M1911A1 in this image a different M1911A1 then the one you uploaded a few monthes ago or a different one?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:08, 31 July 2009 (UTC) | Thanks, it's nice to have our own M1911 Comparision image.

I don't understand why people keep putting this image on movie pages, it is kind of exclusive for the 1911 page. MPM's images are for movie pages. - Gunmaster45

- It is a nice picture, but there is no such thing as a commercial M1911 or M1911A1. Both of the pistols in that picture are Colt Government Models. The early Colt Government Models that were made in the M1911 configuration (1912 to about 1924) were identical to the military M1911s manufactured by Colt aside from the rollmarks. The same can be said for the early Colt Government Models that were built after the mid 1920s in the M1911A1 configuration. However, eventually there were some minor changes. By 1950, a Colt Government Model differed from its M1911A1 counterpart in the following ways:
- • No lanyard loop on the bottom of the mainspring housing.
- • A full-shelf thumb safety as opposed to the partial-shelf thumb safety of the M1911 and M1911A1.
- • A bluing job consisting of polished flats and matte radiuses.
- Government Models are still made by Colt in that same basic 1950 configuration today (i.e., the Series 70 Government Model reissue), and are also available in the Series 80 Government Model configuration, which adds the firing pin safety mechanism. The pistol in your picture that you have incorrectly labeled as an M1911A1 is a Colt Government Model manufactured in 1950 or later.
- By the way, "Government Model" is not a description, it is Colt's actual model name for their civilian versions of the military M1911 and M1911A1 pistols, like "Python" or "Detective Special". --MaximRecoil 14:08, 17 December 2011 (CST)
