One of these things is not like the other
IF you know what these are, we can be friends.
Just kidding, we are always friends. With that being cleared up, note all the little differences between these “GI .45s”
To check your knowledge: On the left is a Union Switch & Signal company-produced M1911A1 from 1943, made for the U.S. Army in Swissvale, Pennsylvania. On the right, a Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk-made M/1914 from 1925, made for the Royal Norwegian Army in Oslo.
Don’t let the slide markings fool you, both are in .45ACP, and both likely saw service in WWII.
I recently got to handle a few of each in our vault and put together a little article on these more uncommon Government Issue .45s. Check it out in my column at Guns.com
