Colt M45A1 (Photo: GunsAmerica Digest<\/a>)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Marine Corps has retired<\/a> the last of its M45A1 Close Quarters Battle Pistol. The iconic sidearm has been replaced by the SIG Sauer M18 9x19mm pistol. Though still sparsely in use amongst limited special operations communities, the Marine Corps is the last major user of the 1911 platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M45A1 is an upgraded version of the Colt M1911. The Original Colt 1911 was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1911 and saw integration across the U.S. military. Over time, the services sun-downed the .45 cal. pistols, opting for higher capacity 9mm options. Even the Marines adopted the Beretta M9 in the \u201980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Marine Col. Robert Young continued advocating for the higher caliber sidearm and heavily modified it to create the MEU(SOC), Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), M1911A1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The inventory of parts reads like a who’s who of the 1911 aftermarket business. In fact, the list is so diverse that it appears as if the Marines flipped through Brownells’ catalog and took one of everything,” according to an article about a new Marine Corps purchase of M1911 upgrade parts that American Handgunner<\/em> published<\/a> in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These handguns were originally issued to marines deployed on Marine Expeditionary Units. However, their proliferation decreased throughout the years. Recently, the newest version of MEU(SOC), the Colt M45A1 was reserved for Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIG Sauer M18<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The M18 is a compact version of the SIG Sauer Modular Handgun System pistol family, or MHS, adopted by the U.S. Army in 2017. In 2019, The U.S. Marine Corps announced<\/a> they would acquire the M18 to replace all their standard issue sidearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement to The War Zone<\/a><\/em>, Marine Corps Systems Command\u00a0(MARCORSYSCOM) that the replacement of the M45A1s with new M18s began last year and was completed by October 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the M18 is becoming the standard sidearm across all U.S. services.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select units among Delta Force and Navy SEALs still choose the iconic weapon. However, the Marine Corps\u2019 attachment to the .45 caliber 1911 platform has come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
