American shooters, law enforcement and elite military units all over the World still rely on the immortal 1911 to get the job done. In the mid 1980s, the US military began the process of retiring this old war-horse. In 1985, Springfield Armory first offered newly manufactured 1911s to the gun buying public. The next 28 years firmly established Springfield Armory as the leading manufacturer of 1911s, and the standard by which all other 1911s are judged today.
