The 1911 is a model favored by gun enthusiasts of many varieties. It was the standard issue side arm for the U.S. Armed Forces from 1911 to 1986. This firearm is the next logical step for Cimarron; as this was the next generation of firearm used en masse in World War I. The Cimarron 1911 has the correct historical markings, the original 1911 frame with a Type 1 smooth mainspring housing. It has a lifetime warranty and is Colt parts compliant.
