Colt 1911 T Shirt

Some guns get retired. The 1911 just keeps showing up. Designed by John Moses Browning and adopted by the U.S. Army in March 1911, the Colt M1911 served as America's primary military sidearm through both World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and into the 1980s — over 70 years of front-line service before the Beretta M9 finally took the role. The 1911's all-steel construction, single-action trigger, short recoil operation, and brutal stopping power made it the benchmark every other combat handgun has been measured against ever since. Today, John Browning's design is still in production by Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Wilson Combat, Dan Wesson, Staccato, and dozens of other makers — over a century after it first rolled out of Hartford. This shirt is built for 1911 owners, John Browning admirers, USPSA Single Stack competitors, military veterans, EDC enthusiasts, second amendment supporters, and anyone who knows that some designs just don't need to be improved.
