This pistol can deliver good damage per shot, surprising for its role as a secondary weapon in the hands of the Marksman perk.The M1911 is a reliable weapon for every class to use (although it does better in the appropriate Marksman class.).

Tips
The M1911 is a good starter pistol which allows the player to sell their P220 and buy it at a cheap price of $600. In comparison, the M1911 has greater stopping power at only a partially lower capacity.

Having Marksman skills can make this gun into a beast within the secondary class, especially when paired with primary weapons like the SSG or M1 Garand. Even if this gun shoots relatively slow, its damage makes it up for it. This gun is best utilized from cover as it will give you enough time to reload this guns smaller magazine, in comparison to other pistols.

Trivia

 * Even though the in-game description states that the M1911 has a 1.7X multiplier, this actually isn't true, for if it was, the M1911 without help from perk skills would deal 32 damage on a headshot, it actually deals 34 damage.
 * The fact that the in-game M1911 has a 15 round magazine as opposed to its standard 7 round magazine counterpart in real life suggests it's a custom or heavily modified model.
 * Alike all other pistols, pressing the reload button whilst fully loaded will result in a neat little spin animation.
 * The M1911 is one of the few weapons that does not (currently) have any skins.
