What is the difference between the 1911 and the 1911A1?

The primary differences between the original M1911 and the M1911A1, which was an updated version introduced in the 1920s, include:

1. **Grip Shape and Design**: The M1911A1 features a shorter trigger, scalloped areas behind the trigger (finger relief), and a longer grip safety spur to prevent hammer bite.

2. **Hammer**: The M1911A1 has a shorter hammer with a different profile to lessen the risk of “hammer bite.”

3. **Sights**: The sights on the M1911A1 are slightly larger for better visibility compared to the M1911.

4. **Mainspring Housing**: The M1911 has a flat mainspring housing, whereas the M1911A1 has an arched mainspring housing.

5. **Grip Safety**: The grip safety on the M1911A1 is extended.

These changes were made to improve handling and ergonomics based on feedback from soldiers using the weapon.
