	Versatile M1911-style handgun and improved magazine for rifles and handguns - Patent 7047686 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The increased diameter of the barrel is accommodated within a standard M1911 slide by routing and thinning the walls of the slide, from the inside, until the barrel fits within the slide in the usual manner.
		As a result, the barrel and slide operate as required for the typical M1911 design, but the increased mass of the barrel and relatively decreased mass of the slide result in reduced perceived recoil and muzzle flip when the handgun is fired.
		And, the perceived reduced recoil and muzzle flip could be obtained in the described manner and in accordance with the invention for handguns that have a M1911-style appearance and use a cam-operated system rather than a link to provide the required up-and-down movement of the barrel.

	M1911 - FirearmWiki
		It was designed by John Browning, and was the primary standard-issue handgun in the combat arm of the United States Armed Forces officially from 1911 to 1985.
		The Armed Forces were adopting new firearms at a phenomenal rate — several new handguns and two all new service rifles (the M1892/96/98 Krag and M1895 Navy Lee) rifles, as well as a series of revolvers by Colt and Smith and Wesson for the Army and Navy just in that decade.
		Despite its large size and weight, the M1911 has a very flat profile owing to its single stack design, making the gun surprisingly easy to conceal, as it has been by civilians for a century.

		While the M1911 and variations have rightfully been in the history books for decades, surprisingly, their collectibility didn’t really come of age until the 1970s.
		A major M1911 collector has who has been actively collecting Colt semi-auto pistols since 1980 recently told me that it was pretty simple back when he started.
		Because M1911 collecting was in its infancy during this time period, with gun shows providing the primary buying/selling venue, those collectors of yesteryear did not have to worry about what today’s collector must take into consideration – refinishing, non-original parts/features, the Internet and possible bad information, emotional auction bidding, and even some out-and-out fakes.

		Not all M1911 pistols have the firing pin safety feature, but the SW1911 does, and we recommend it in today’s litigious society where maximum safety is necessary to prevent lawsuits.
		The technique of using the M1911 is easily learned, but like all training, it must be ingrained and “hard wired” into the user’s psyche so the M1911’s manual of arms is conducted without conscious thought, and this requires practice until it is learned.
		But for the officer who is willing to undertake learning the M1911, the reward is a pistol that remains in use not only by Special Forces, but by many individuals and organizations that consider the M1911 to be the finest combat handgun ever designed.

		ChdNorm RE:springfield m1911 mod 9 mm 1/8/2004 4:35:45 AM Sprringfield Armory has been making 1911s now for about 20 years.
		I think the best way to determine your 1911's year of manufactor would be to contact Springfirld Armory directly and inquire with them using your serial number.
		Sam RE:springfield m1911 mod 9 mm 1/9/2004 7:38:25 PM Gee I thought the 9mm version of the M-1911 was the Browning High Power.
