Colt M1911 Military

Manufactured in October 1918, this desirable example of a U.S. Colt Model 1911 Semi-Automatic Pistol has the distinctive blue-black "Black Army" finish. The "Black Army" finish was adopted by Colt in mid-1918 to expedite production, and other late production features on this pistol include: 1918 style safety lock with thick thumb piece, slide with second style recoil spring housing, model designation on the right side of the slide in 7/64-inch letters, un-finished heart-shaped grip openings in the frame, conjoined "H/P" proof and inspection marks on the barrel chamber and an "Eagle's head/s17" inspection stamp on the left side of the frame. "MODEL OF 1911.U.S.ARMY" is roll stamped on the right side of the slide, with the Rampant Colt flanked by the two-line 1897-1913 patent dates and two-line Hartford address on the left side of the slide. "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" is roll-stamped on the left side of the frame ahead of the trigger guard, with the serial number on the right side behind the slide stop hole. An "H" provisional inspection mark is stamped on the rear of the slide above the firing pin stop and on the top of the frame in front of the disconnector hole. The pistol is fitted with checkered walnut grips (right grip has very light checkering and partially cut-out diamond escutcheon surrounding the upper grip screw). Complete with a two-tone magazine and a WWI issued lanyard. Included is a reproduction cardboard carton.

Glock 23

The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.
