This handgun has been designed and built to address several weak points in the M1911 handgun. Its 'features' include a plunger tube that is integral to the handgun frame, a magazine-well that is also integral, and a slide stop that has been cut flush with the frame. [3] The other top seller in the Tactical pistol line is the Shadowhawk.
Strayer-Voigt, Inc. (also known as SVI) is a manufacturer of M1911-styled modular pistols. [1] The Strayer-Voigt system is called modular because the lower grip and trigger guard, which is made of carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium or aluminum, is a separate component from the metal upper portion of the frame that comprises the dust cover and frame rails.
The design incorporates various features normally seen on larger pistols, including the aforementioned laser sight as well as a frame mounted safety and slide release. These additional features contribute to its higher base cost than other weapons of comparable size and caliber . [ 3 ]
The AF2011-A1 is a double-barreled pistol based on the design of the M1911. It is practically two M1911 pistols built into a single side-by-side frame. Its barrels, triggers, magazines, and hammers all come in pairs, and are connected together so that pulling on one trigger would fire both barrels. The iron sights sit between the two barrels. [7]
The Colt Mustang is a line of two lightweight, single-action pocket pistols chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge, produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company.The firearm line was produced from 1983 to 1996 as the Colt Mustang and from 2011 to present the Mustang was reintroduced along with an alloy frame model and an updated polymer frame version, the Colt Mustang XSP.
These two safety systems work oppositely, but achieve the same goal of only allowing the gun to fire when the trigger is pulled all the way. Production of the Model 15 was discontinued in 1999 when Smith & Wesson was purchased and reorganized, although a couple limited run "Heritage Series" models were released in 2001 and 2002.
The individual gun's caliber is stamped on top of the barrel and is visible with the slide in battery (fully forward). The Custom is a full-sized model 1911, with a five-inch barrel. The frame and slide are made of steel. The Custom utilizes a single full-length guide rod, necessitating the serrations on the front of the slide for press checks.
The PT1911 offers features found on models from semi-custom pistol manufacturers such as Springfield Armory, Para-Ordnance, and Kimber Manufacturing. [ 1 ] Featuring a forged steel frame and slide, the PT1911 was originally marketed with a blued carbon steel finish, but as of late 2007 a stainless steel version was released.
