The Colt M1911 is a semi-automatic, magazine-fed, .45 caliber handgun. It was the standard-issue side arm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985, and is still carried by some US troops today, although it was largely phased out in favor of the M9. It fires the powerful .45 ACP round, which has higher stopping power than the 9mm Parabellum, but is bigger and therefore has more recoil.

In Battlefield 1942, the Colt is the standard sidearm for the Allies (United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union and Canada). It has an eight round magazine, very little damage and poor accuracy. It can kill in around four body shots, or two head shots. Despite its minor damage per shot, it has a high firecap. However, it still remains a last resort weapon.

Sound(s)

The M1911 is the standard pistol issued to the American and South Vietnamese factions. It has a nine round magazine, medium recoil, medium damage and high accuracy. It can generally kill in three shots. It should only be used as a last resort weapon in close-quarters situations, although, if prone or standing still, its cross hairs can be small enough for effective long range engagements, though its awkward recoil and deviation can make a moving target very difficult to kill. Aiming for the head is advised as it can kill in one head shot. Compared to its NVA and Viet Cong counterpart, the TT-33, it has a slightly higher rate of fire and one extra round per magazine (the TT-33 has eight rounds) at the cost of slightly lower damage, as the TT-33 can kill with only two shots rather than the three shots of the M1911.

Battlefield 1943Edit

Damage	5-6 shots to kill
Ammunition capacity	7 rounds
Rate of fire	~350 rpm
Faction	USMC
Kit	Scout

In Battlefield 1943, the M1911 is a secondary weapon issued to the USMC Scout kit, opposite of the IJN's Nambu. It is a very weak weapon, requiring around five-six body shots to kill someone, meaning a player can only afford one missed shot. It also has relatively long reload, so it should necessarily only be used as a last resort weapon. A common strategy, the One Two tactic, is to shoot an enemy with the M1903 Springfield, then finish them off with the M1911, as it will only require a single more hit with it to kill.

"A favorite sidearm among special forces this 7 round semi-automatic pistol boasts a .45 caliber stopping power enabling the operator to dispose of an opponent with lethal close range fire." — In-game description

The M1911 only appears in multiplayer, and is favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round which gives it high damage. It comes unlocked by default with the limited edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, along with the Thompson, though it can still be acquired normally by being promoted to level 3 in-game.

It has a large damage increase from Battlefield 1943 from six shots to about three-four in the body and two in the upper neck and head region. It has a higher firecap, faster recovery, slightly bigger magazine and slightly less damage than the other high-damage handgun, the MP-412 Rex, making it more flexible. However, it has a relatively small magazine (only seven rounds compared to the M9's 12 round magazine) and its sights are a bit less defined and therefore are slightly harder to use than other pistols.

"The M1911 is one of the most popular pistols in the world. Adopted in 1911 for the US armed forces, the M1911 served as the primary side arm through to 1985. Many clones and copies of the M1911 exist, and the internal action is used in nearly all modern pistols. Modernized and updated versions of the M1911 is still in use by MEU(SOC) US Marine Corps Special Forces." — Battlelog description

The M1911 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 3. Unlike previous iterations, it is only available to members of the EA Gun Club or Battlefield Veterans. For Battlefield 3 the 1911 has been redesigned after the Marine's Force Recon M-45 MEU(SOC) side arm. It features an 8-round magazine plus one in the chamber, and comes in four variants: standard, 'TACT.', 'SUPP.', and 'S-TAC'. The 'TACT.' variant adds a small flashlight to the weapon, the 'SUPP.' variant adds a suppressor, and the DICE exclusive 'S-TAC.' variant adds both.

In Battlefield 3, the M1911 can be considered an intermediate pistol, having a unique damage figure and magazine size. One popular thing to note is that only one headshot is needed to get the full benefit of a two-hit kill, whereas the other pistols need two headshots. It is the only pistol that can equip a flashlight and suppressor at the same time, and the one of two pistols able to equip any kind of light and a suppressor at the same time. (Other being the G17C SUPP.)

Note: that only the stock M1911 gets a dog tag unlocked after 100 and 500 kills, while the TAC., SUPP., and S-TAC, don't.
