I give you the Micro Compact GI, an M1911-style pistol produced by Springfield Armory between 2004 and 2011.
Isn’t it cute?
The Micro Compact GI ran a 3-inch barrel, which seems to be the lower limit on John Browning’s famed Government Model.
More on the trend to whittle such pistols down to a more stumpy format in my column at Guns.com.
The guys down at Whiskey Tango Firearms in Sarasota, Florida are apparently big fans of the Merc with the Mouth.
A manufacturing FFL, WTF came up with this Colt New Agent 1911 in a battle-worn Deadpool theme complete with “Smile, Wait for Flash” barrel engraving by Accubeam in Sarasota, cartoon script “Deadpool’s gun” logo grips, chimichanga mag and just enough wear to make it look like it’s been to Francis and back.
Internals.Note the attention to detail and the very Paris Theodore style guttersnipe sight rail
Sure, ‘Pool used Deagle .50s for the most part, but in the beginning of the film pre-Cancer he uses a Colt 1911-based Para-Ordnance P14.45 in the pizza delivery scene and of course a plot point is a sweet Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket with pearl grips that he uses at the end of the film, so the use of the New Agent by WTF is on point if not entirely accurate.
Since writing about it at Guns.com, I have received dozens of emails asking how to get one. The good news is WTF is taking pre-orders for a batch of these right now.
