The history of the Colt Gov't / M1911 Pistol
began in early 1900s, when famous designer John M. Browning began to develop semi-automatic pistols for Colt company. In the
1906-1907 U.S. Army announced trials to replace its service revolvers with new, semi-automatic pistol. Army required the new
pistol to have the caliber of .45 inch, so Browning designed its own cartridge that fired 230 grains (15.64 gramms) bullet,
and then, designed a new pistol. In 1911, after extensive testings, the new pistol and its cartridge, designed by Browning
and manufactured by Colt, were adopted for U.S. military service as M1911. Prior to and during World War One, more than one
million of these guns were manufactured, mostly by Colt and Springfield Armoury, as well as by Remington-UMC, Burroughs, Savage
and some other companies. The rights to manufacture Colt/Browning design were also sold to some foreign countries, such as
Norway or Argentine.
In 1926, original design was improved, following
the recommendations of the US Army Ordnanve Dept. These changes incorporate the following items (see picture above):
1.
Wider front sight
2. Longer hammer spur
3. Shorter trigger
4. Curved spring housing
5. Simplified grip panels
checkering
6. Index finger reliefs behind the trigger
7. Longer grip-safety spur
The improved design was adopted by US Military
as M1911A1 pistol, and served with distinction until the mid-1980s, when it was officially replaced in service with M9 pistol
(US-made Beretta 92FS).
The commercial Colts of this design are known
as Government models. In 1929, Colt introduced the Government pistol in its new chambering, the .38 Super Automatic, a hotter
version of the earlier .38 Automatic cartridge. New pistol had bigger magazine capacity (9 rounds) and sold well on the police
market. The .38 Super versions are still manufactured and used mostly as competition guns due to extreme accuracy.
During the 1970 - 1983, Colt manufactured Mk.IV
series 70 Government model pistols, which closely resembled original M1911A1s, but with accurized barrel bushings. Since 1983,
Colt manufactured Mk.IV Series 80 Government model pistols, that featured added firing pin safety. Latest Colt product, M1991A1,
also featured Series 80 slide with firing pin safety.
Colt also developed some more compact versions
of its full-size commercial guns. So called "Commander" versions (available as Combat Commanders, Lightweight Commanders with
alloy frames etc) have shortened barrels and slides (barrel lenght 108 mm, or 4.25 inch), with the standart size frame and
grip, and standart magazine capacity of 7 rounds in .45ACP. These guns were also available in .38 Super and 9mm Luger chamberings.
In the year 1972, US Army adopted the M15 General Officers Model Pistol, developed by Rock Island Arsenal, wery similar to
Combat Commander, as a selfdefence weapon for high level army officers. These guns had a brass plate insert in the left grip
panel, where tha name of the owner should be engraved.
Even more compact version, the Colt Defender,
had also the shorter grip that limits magazine capacity to 6 rounds of .45ACP. The barrel of Defender is of 76 mm lenght (3
inch). Commercial Colt Officers' pistols were also very similar to Defenders.
Along with Colt, countless numbers of companie
in the USA and other countries manufactured more or less exact copies of the M1911. Some millions of guns were manufactured
in the USA during the WW2 by numerous companies under US Government contracts, and probably even more were manufactured for
commercial sales. Most common M1911 clones are manufactured by: Springfield armoury, Les Baer, Kimber, Wilson, STI, Para Ordnance
and many, many others. Also, many M1911-partterned pistols are still custom built for service duty, sport shooting and self
defence.
Technically, the M1911 is a recoil operated,
locked breech semi-auto pistol. It has single action trigger with frame mounted safety that locks the hammer and the slide.
Hammer could be locked either in cocked or in lowered position, allowing the gun to be carried in "cocked and locked" state,
with safety on, hammer cocked and round chambered. Additional automated safety incorporated into rear of the grip and locks
the action when gun not held in the hand properly.
Barrel and slide are interlocked via massive lugs onthe upper part of
the barrel, just ahead of the chamber. After the shot is fired, the barrel and the slide go back for the short distance, then
rear part of the barrel is lovered by tilting link, and barrel unlocks the slide. The slide goes all the way back, extracting
and ejecting spent case and chambering the new round on the way back. When magazine is empty, the magazine follower activates
slide stop that locks the slide in the open (rear) position. The gun is fed from the single stack, seven round magazine. The
magazine release button is located on the left side of the frame, just behind the triggerguard.
Modern Gov't/1911 clones may differ, more or
less, from this description: i.e, those guns may have widebody frames that can accept dual stack, high capacity magazines;
frames could be made from steel, alluminium alloys or polymer; some could have Double Action or even Double Action Only triggers,
ambidextrous satety switches and slide stops etc.
In the end, i must say that this article is
very incomplete, since the Colt Gov't / M1911 is probably the most popular pistol in the world. It is known for its reliability,
serviceability, simplicity. Custom made M1911s capable of outstanding accuracy, and many of M1911-patterned guns are still
in service with different military and law enforcement agencies in the USA.

Colt M203 Grenade Launcher & Trijicon M4 NSN Scope. This is the latest version of the M16A3 Carbine as used by US troups
in the Gulf War & Iraq Conflict and is also used by Australian SAS and many other special forces units around.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX Pistols:
Data for Mark XIX pistols
Type: Single Action
Chambering: .357 Magnum, .41
Magnum (obsolete), .44 Magnum, .440 Cor-bon, .50 AE
Length overall: 10.24 in. - 260mm
Weight: 62 oz. - 1,715 g empty

Magazine: 9 (.357), 8 (.44) or 7 (.50) rounds
The Desert Eagle Pistol was conceived in 1979,
when three people with an idea for creating a gas- operated, semi-automatic, magnum-caliber pistol founded Magnum Research,
Inc. in St. Paul, Minnesota (USA). Early pistols, then known as Eagle 357, were announced in 1982
Magnum Research, Inc. patented the basic design
of the Desert Eagle in 1980, and the first working prototype of the pistol was completed in 1981. It was about 80% functional,
with a rotating bolt, full gas operation and excellent shooting characteristics. The final refinements to the pistol were
made by Israel Military Industries (IMI), under contract to Magnum Research, Inc. After research that included thousands of
rounds of test-firing, a fully functional .357 Magnum production model was produced in an edition of just over 1,000 pistols.
These pistols, collector's items today, have traditional land-and-grove rifling, and they will not accept extended barrels
or caliber conversion kits. The serial numbers for these pistols start at #3001.
Development of the Desert Eagle was not
yet complete, however, in 1985, the barrel was changed to incorporate polygonal rifling, to help enhance the pistol's accuracy.
In 1986, a .44 Magnum version of the pistol was perfected; it was the very first semi-automatic .44 Magnum pistol successfully
brought to market.
Further enhancements to the Desert Eagle line continued. In 1987, the .41 Magnum Desert Eagle Pistol
(not currently in production) was introduced to fill a specific market niche. In 1989, the Mark VII model of the Desert Eagle
became standard. All Desert Eagle Pistols manufactured since 1989 have Mark VII features: enlarged safety levers, an enlarged
slide release and an improved, two-stage trigger.
In around 1996, Magnum Research, Inc. successfully introduced the .50
Action Express Desert Eagle Pistol to fill an unmet need in the sporting/hunting market. Since Magnum Research introduced
the caliber - once considered impossible to build - several other manufacturers have begun to produce .50 Magnum (a.k.a. .50
Action Express) firearms, but only one semiautomatic pistol design survived to date, and it is the Desert Eagle (there are
few semi-custom or limited production revolvers and rifles made in this caliber as well). During the same period the basic
design was upgraded to current Mark XIX specifications. Key improvement was the adoption of one frame size for all calibers
(before that, mark I and Mark VII pistols had different frame sizes for different calibers). This unification allowed to use
different barrels on same frame, permitting easy change of caliber with switch of only few components - barrel, magazine,
and bolt (there are two nomenclatures of bolts used in Mark XIX pistols, one for smaller .357 Magnum ammo, and another for
larger .44 Magnum and .50AE ammo; this is possible because .50AE case has rebated rim of the same diameter as .44 Magnum).
Today
Desert eagle pistols are used for competition shooting (in disciplines like Silhouette shooting) as well as for hunting and
general plinking (although the cost of gun and its ammunition makes it rather expensive fun gun). General belief of
the Desert Eagle being used by various Special Operation forces so far found absolutely NO proofs. Indeed, for the price and
weight of this empty gun one can easily have two pistols like Glock 17 or SIG-Sauer P228 plus good supply of ammunition; furthermore,
these pistols will be much more reliable in severe combat conditions, and provide much bigger magazine capacity. Add to it
severe recoil in its larger calibers (especially .50AE), huge muzzle blast and super-loud sound, and you'll see why only Hollywood
warriors use this monster as a combat weapon. In real life, if you need a weapon more potent than a typical combat pistol
(such as Glock or SIG-Sauer or Beretta or any other respectable model chambered for caliber between 9mm and .45ACP), you shall
get either a rifle or submachine gun, period.
One last note - Magnum Research company, trying to capitalize on the fame
of this pistol, also used Desert Eagle moniker to sell entirely different sidearm, the Jericho 941 Pistol, also made in Israel
by IMI. While Jericho looked like scaled-down Desert Eagle, in fact it is entirely different weapon inside, and, unlike its
bigger brother, a truly useful combat weapon in its own right.
Desert Eagle is a gas operated, locked breech
weapon that uses stationary (but removable) barrel. Locking is achieved using the separate rotating bolt with four radial
lugs that enter the breech of the barrel for engagement with respective cuts. Bolt is inserted into open-topped slide, which
is operated using gas, which is bled from the bore through the small port drilled close to the chamber. Short stroke gas piston
is located below the barrel closer to the muzzle, and gas chamber is linked to the gas port with long channel, bored below
the barrel. Trigger is of single action type, with exposed hammer and ambidextrous safety, located at either side of the slide.
Magazines are single stack, with different configuration for each major caliber. Sights are either fixed or adjustable, both
front and rear being dovetailed into the barrel and slide respectively. Recently made pistols also had top of the barrel shaped
to accept scope rings directly.

The Viper pistol is a recent joint development
between the American Wildey Guns company and the Jordan King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau (KADDB). Pistol was designed
by the American citizen Wildey Moore (designer of the famous Wildey pistol), and is now produced in Jordan. Apparently this
pistol will become the standard issue pistol for Jordan Armed forces, hence the another designation - JAWS, or Jordan Arms
& Weapons System. Viper JAWS is a solid and well made pistol with several interesting features, such as simple and robust
design and modular construction. VIPER pistol can be easily reconfigured for several pistol calibers simply by replacing the
barrel, breech face insert, the extractor and the magazine. This reconfiguration, as well as a standard field-stripping procedure,
requires no tools. Grip panels also can be easily replaced with another unit with different shape or dimensions.
Viper is a short recoil operated, locked breech
pistol with rotating barrel. On recoil, barrel rotates to unlock from the slide, by following the curved track on the frame.
The double action trigger with its linkage is easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning via removable side plate, inserted
into the cut cat the right side of the frame from the top. The ambidextrous safety lever is located on both sides of the slide
and also acts as a decocker when safety is engaged. Both front and rear sight are dovetailed into the slide and can be easily
changed if required.

Tanfoglio pistols are manufactured by Fratelli
Tanfoglio SpA. company, Italy. Basically, all standart, combat and compact models are all-steel clones of the famous CZ-75
design.
All Tanfoglio Standart and Combat pistols (also
known as T95-series) are blowback operated, locked breech semi-auto pistols, that use browning hi-power style linkless system.
All T95 pistols feature DA triggers. The "Standart" models feature slide mounted hammer drop safety/decocker lever (ambidextrous
as an option), while "Combat" featured frame mounted ambidextrous safety that allows "cocked and locked" carry mode, as well
as internal firing pin block safety. Both "Standart" and "Combat" models feature all-steel design. Both have fixed sights
with three dots for increased viosibility.
Other than basic models described above, Tanfoglio
also manufactured compact models with shortened barrels (down to 92mm) and grips, as well as "Factory Custom" guns for self
defence, service carry and competition. The custom features may include extended ambidextrous controls (slide stop lever and
safety lever), match triggers and hammers, different compensators and sights.
Tanfoglio pistols are popular defensive and
sporting firearms across the Europe. They also are imported into USA by EAA Corp. under the name "Witness".

(from Lotus Press Release) The Lotus Exige 265E
– the most powerful road version of the Lotus Exige ever – and it runs on environmentally friendly Bio Fuel!
Lotus Engineering, the engineering consultancy
division of Group Lotus Plc has developed a
bio-ethanol E85 version of the Lotus Exige.
The research vehicle is a true Lotus (it weighs
just 930 kg unladen) and is called the Lotus Exige 265E. 265 indicates the approximate horsepower and is consistent with the
naming strategy of other one-off and limited run Lotus variants such as the Lotus Sport Exige 240R; the E indicates the environmentally
favourable bio-ethanol E85 fuel (85% ethanol alcohol and 15% petrol / gasoline) that powers this extremely high performing
sportscar.
Key to this performance is a slightly modified
version of the 2ZZ VVTL-i supercharged and intercooled high revving 4-cylinder engine from the standard Lotus Exige S. This
now gives an estimated set of performance figures that would thrash the majority of "Super-Unleaded" performance cars: 0-60
mph in 3.88 seconds, 0-100 mph in 9.2 seconds and a top speed of 158 mph! In fact, the Lotus Exige 265E is probably the world’s
quickest road-legal E85 bio-ethanol car.
Key changes have been made to the fuel system,
the engine calibration and the four fuel injectors mounted on the inlet manifold have been enlarged. Two additional fuel injectors
have been fitted at the supercharger inlet to increase the amount of fuel being injected in to the engine under higher engine
loads and to further cool the charge air prior to combustion.What is Bio Ethanol E85?
Bio-ethanol E85 is a fuel which is a mixture
of 85% ethanol (an alcohol) and 15% petrol / gasoline. The bio-ethanol can be made from bio-mass plant crops such as cereals,
sugar beet, sugar cane and wood. As these plant crops grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which then partly
offsets the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced during the burning of the bio-ethanol fuel in the car’s engine.Why
Bio-Ethanol?
Different bio-fuels were considered for this
research project, bio-methanol, bio-ethanol and biobutanol.
E85 bio-ethanol was the finally chosen as the fuel as its characteristics
allowed the engineering project team to enhance the engine performance. The fact that this vehicle uses a pressure charged
engine provided even more opportunity to exploit the performance characteristics of a high-octane fuel. Ethanol has a high
octane rating, which allows an optimum timing for engine ignition and has a fast flame speed in the cylinder, so the fuel
burns faster, increasing the efficiency of the engine.The Benefits of Bio-Ethanol
The beauty of ethanol is its ability to produce
more power in the engine than with conventional
petrol / gasoline fuel. The Lotus Exige 265E now produces 264 hp (197 kW,
268 PS) at 8000 rpm, and 184 lb-ft (249 Nm) of torque (at 5500 rpm), up by 46 hp (34 kW, 47 PS) or 21% and 25 lb-ft (34 Nm)
or 16% over the standard petrol / gasoline Exige S. With the total weight of approximately 930 kg (unladen), the power to
weight is approximately 283 hp / tonne (211 kW / tonne, 287 PS / tonne
Ethanol has less stored energy per unit volume
than gasoline so the fuel economy is less, however as E85 ethanol is 85% sourced from renewable bio matter, there is a net
reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2)
Geraint Castleton-White, Head of Powertrain
for Lotus Engineering explains the rationale behind the Lotus Exige 265E technical demonstrator: "We wanted to prove the point
that green sportscars can also be very high performing sportscars. The fact that we have produced a research version of the
Exige that is more powerful than the standard road car is a testament to the benefits of going green. We are also pleased
that this vehicle demonstrates our engineering capabilities, our understanding of flex fuel vehicles and our knowledge of
emerging fuel technologies. It also promotes bio-ethanol as a fuel of choice for the enthusiastic driver as well as the environmentally
conscious driver.
Mike Kimberley, Chief Executive of Group Lotus
explains the Lotus ‘Green Strategy’: "Lotus
Engineering is actively pursuing technologies that will improve
the efficiency and environmentally friendliness of engines in the future. Carbon dioxide reduction is a priority, as is anything
that can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. We are one of the world leaders in powertrain engineering especially in the
internal combustion sector and we are researching into all areas of alternative and conventional fuels to get greater efficiencies,
power, performance and reduce net emissions and Bio Ethanol research is one area where we are expert. The problems that are
facing the automotive industry at the moment are challenging, and these solutions fit with the Lotus culture and expertise."
Mike Kimberley continues: "We have decided to
develop a thorough understanding of the techniques and technologies of what alternative fuels can achieve, to produce vehicles
that are both fun to drive and environmentally friendly. We are also working, globally, on hybrid and electric vehicles together
with governments and universities and as an engineering organisation we have a duty and a desire to promote these ideas to
a worldwide customer base."Rapid Project Delivery for a Rapid Car!
The final sign-off test drive was completed
just 5 weeks after the project was instigated and has
resulted in a demonstration vehicle that not only excites the driver
but also is at the forefront of
environmentally friendly vehicles.Looking to the Future:
The next phase for the vehicle is to upgrade
the calibration to a flex fuel spec to allow use with
initially gasoline, followed by the possibility of a multi fuel flex
calibration to use fuels such as
bio-methanol and bio-butanol in addition to the conventional gasoline / petrol and bio-ethanol.
The Lotus Exige 265E is purely a research vehicle
for Lotus Engineering and Lotus does not intend to put the car into production or sell aftermarket kits for Lotus Cars.The
Lotus Exige 265E in more detail.
The Lotus philosophy is all about performance
through light weight. The Exige 265E is built to the lightest specification possible without resorting to expensive and rare
materials normally found in the rarefied environment of Formula One or Aerospace Industries where weight reduction is often
considered more important than cost. The performance improvements of using bio ethanol have been made through increasing the
power of the engine without increasing the weight of the engine and therefore the overall weight of the car.The Engine
The heart of the Exige 265E is a Roots-type
supercharger (with a sealed-for-life internal mechanism meaning that it does not require the use of the engine’s oil)
and air to air intercooler attached to the tried and tested 4-cylinder, 1.8 litre 2ZZ-GE VVTL-i engine. Using a development
of the supercharger and intercooler package from the Exige S, the Exige 265E has peak power of 264 hp (197 kW, 268 PS) at
8000 rpm, 184 lbft (249 Nm) of torque (at 5500 rpm) up by 46 hp (34 kW, 47 PS) or 21% and 25 lbft (34 Nm) or 16% over the
standard gasoline Exige S. Maximum engine speed is 8000 rpm (8500 rpm transient for up to 2 seconds).
Ethanol produces more power in the engine than
with conventional petrol / gasoline fuel. This is due, in part, to the additional oxygen atom attached to the ethanol alcohol
molecule so helping the combustion process in the cylinder to burn more effectively, efficiently and with more power. The
roof scoop ensures that the air-to-air intercooler works as efficiently and effectively as possible in all climates and environments.
All charge air ducting has been kept as short as possible with large diameter pipes making sure that the bends in these ducts
are not too tight, to the benefit of throttle response and efficiency. The Roots-type Eaton M62 supercharger is run from the
crankshaft, and has an integral bypass valve for part load operation.
A "Stage One" sports exhaust exits from the
centre of the undertray.
The 2ZZ VVTL-i engine has two cam profiles –
a high speed cam and a low speed cam. The seamless switch point between these two cams is completely variable depending upon
driving conditions and engine load, and the driver will not know which cam is being used at any point. This gives the Lotus
Exige 265E a smooth and linear surge of power from idle speeds all the way to the maximum 8500 rpm.
An electronic drive-by-wire throttle ensures
the quickest engine response possible whilst keeping the emissions as clean and as low as possible, to meet relevant legislative
demands. Four enlarged fuel injectors have been fitted to increase fuel flow into the engine under normal operating conditions.
Two additional fuel injectors have been fitted at the supercharger inlet to increase the amount of fuel being injected into
the engine under higher engine speeds and loads. This has also enabled the engineering project team to take advantage of ethanol’s
higher cooling effect to further cool the charge air prior to combustion, which in turn reduces the amount of power required
to operate the supercharger. A true Lotus solution where the ethanol does more than just provide energy for combustion!Extra
Functions for the Lotus T4e Engine Management System.
The Lotus T4e Engine Management system is used
in the Lotus Exige 265E. This engine
management system has been programmed to optimise the ethanol in the supercharged
and
intercooled engine.
The lightweight C64 six-speed gearbox is fitted
with the closest ratios and gearset afforded by the transmission. The gearbox offers a fast, precise and light gearshift,
ensuring drivers have total control and flexibility to apply the power exactly as and when required.Aerodynamics is the key
The Lotus Exige 265E uses the same aerodynamic
package as the production Exige. Like all Lotus cars, the Lotus Exige 265E isn’t all about straight-line performance.
The Lotus Exige 265E is probably the world’s quickest road-legal E85 bio-ethanol car. Not only is the engine important
to the performance but also so is the aerodynamic package, which creates 41.2 kg (90.64 lbs) of downforce - 19.3 kg (42.46
lbs) at the front and 21.9 kg (48.18 lbs) at the rear - at 160 km/h (100 mph). This downforce ratio between front (47%) and
rear (53%) is balanced and remains constant at the speeds of which the Exige 265E is capable.
This class leading aerodynamic package is provided
through the contribution of the following components:
· Completely flat underside of the car –
provided by the elegantly simple, strong yet light
weight extruded and bonded aluminium tub
· Anodised rear diffuser which helps promote
the "Venturi effect" underneath the car
· Deep front splitter, which sits just 108 mm
(4.3 inches) from the ground (giving just
enough ramp angle clearance) whilst still maintaining the aerodynamic properties
and, of
course, the aggressive stance.
· Fixed rear wing that is set at the optimum
11.5 degree angle for the best compromise
between downforce and drag.
The Legendary Chassis and BodyThe Lotus Exige
265E is built around the revolutionary and award winning extruded and bonded
aluminium tub, with a light weight steel rear
subframe, as used in the Exige. The chassis tub itself weighs just 68 kg (150 lbs) and has a torsional stiffness of 10,500
Nm per degree.
The body of the Lotus Exige 265E remains unchanged
from the Exige as it is already a winning
formula that is both effective and stunning to look at.
To further differentiate the Lotus Exige 265E
from its production cousins, two bold stripes (in yellow to symbolise the bio-ethanol fuel and green to demonstrate the environmental
considerations of the vehicle).Exterior
Lightweight Lotus Sport five spoke forged alloy
wheels have a slightly wider section, when compared to the standard Exige wheel, to accommodate the optional extra track use
only specification slick tyres. These wheels, with Lotus Sport etched on one spoke of each wheel, are painted in "High Power
Silver" colour.The Brakes and the Suspension
The brake system has been upgraded to 4-piston
AP Racing calipers with sport brake pads and
increased diameter 310 mm drilled and vented discs at the front. Brembo single-piston
sliding rear calipers with 282 mm diameter discs are fitted at the rear. High grade silicon brake fluid, metal braided brake
hoses are all linked to the proven Lotus track tuned servo-assisted fourchannel ABS system that enhances braking performance
and minimising stopping distance without taking over from the skill of the driver.
To suit different driving styles and road conditions,
the Lotus Exige 265E has been fitted with Ohlins two-way adjustable dampers and ride height adjustment to reduce the ride
height from 130 mm to 120 mm and an adjustable front anti-roll bar.
An oil "Accusump" is included as an oil reservoir
backup for extreme track use. Cornering speeds and the lateral forces generated within the car when driven on the track are
far higher than what can be experienced safely on the road and the "Accusump" ensures that, under these extreme conditions,
the engine oil pressure remains constant.
A "Stage One" sports exhaust is fitted with the bifurcated exhaust pipes
exiting from the centre
of the anodised-finish 3-piece rear diffuser. Front driving lamps, twin oil coolers, central door
locking, alarm (with immobiliser) and air conditioning (weighing in at a minimal 15 kg, 33 lbs)
completes the equipment
package.Interior
The unique interior trim takes the black, green
and the yellow theme of the exterior paint colours
by using predominantly black trim with green and yellow highlights on
certain components including the padded leather door inserts and the seats.
