Panteao Productions introduces a new title in their Documentary series of videos called “Colt Model of 1911 – 100 Years of Service.” The US Army adopted John Browning’s .45 1911 on March 29, 1911 and while it is the most widely copied handgun in history, Colt is the only company to manufacture the pistol continuously since then.
According to Panteao, “We take you to the Colt factory in West Hartford, CT and follow the manufacturing process of the 1911. Among the modern machinery and manufacturing processes you’ll also see the same machines that have been in service for the past 80 years. You’ll also see many of the assembly and fitting steps still carried out by hand, just as they were when the 1911 first went into production.”
