The M1911 Pistol is a one-handed semi-automatic handgun chambered in .45. It trains the Aiming skill. It feeds from a 7 round M1911 Auto Magazine.

It deals good damage for a sidearm and is easy to aim even at low skill. Its small magazine is the main drawback, so spare magazines matter. The M1911 Pistol is most often found in gun caches, pistol cases and hidden stashes under bedroom floors. The Police Officer is the best occupation for firearms. It starts with the most Aiming skill. The Veteran also starts with some Aiming skill.

Combat


The M1911 Pistol reaches 12 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.9 and 1.2 damage. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit deals four times the damage.

The pistol is one-handed, which leaves the other hand free. Its magazine holds more rounds than a revolver cylinder. The reticle settles quickly even for a shooter with little Aiming skill. Like most firearms it can jam, and racking it clears the jam.

The Aiming skill raises its accuracy and crit chance as it levels. The M1911 suits a survivor who wants a handy sidearm for emergencies.

Uses


The M1911 Pistol fits in a holster for quick access and lower carried weight. Three Duct Tape and the pistol make a Duct Tape Holster at Tailoring 1, and the pistol is kept. Attachments fit through the Upgrade option. Tritium Pistol Sights extend its range by 3 tiles. A Laser Sight raises its accuracy. A Gun Light adds a flashlight to the pistol. The pistol can also bash down doors.

Notes


  • Keep several loaded M1911 Auto Magazines, since each holds only 7 rounds.
  • The same magazine also feeds the Trapper Carbine.
  • A holster keeps the pistol ready without filling a hand.
  • A jammed pistol is cleared by racking it.
