Savage’s new line of 1911s comes in three finishes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Colt 1911<\/a> is named for the year it was made, and now 111 years later Savage has finally gotten on the bandwagon. Savage’s Model 1907 was the finalist competing with Colt for the government contract for the new military handgun. Colt won and the 1911 took its place in the history books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savage is now offering a finely made 1911 in three finishes: Raw stainless, two-tone with nitride slide, and all-black nitride. All three models are made of stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n

Savage has integrated into their first model the improvements made over the last century to JM Browning’s original. A long beavertail, carry cuts, ambidextrous safety lever, and lowered and flared ejection port are some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
