M1917 Revolver
The M1917 Revolver was a six shot revolver, chambered for the .45 acp round - a rimless round that required half moon clips to load the cartridges. During World War One, the official side arm of American forces was M1911 pistol series, however supply shortages forced the U.S. Army to ask two Major Gun Manufacturers, Colt and Smith & Wesson to each update their existing heavy frame revolver and each build a version that could be fielded as a supplement to the standard M1911. There are TWO versions of the Model 1917 revolver that are externally very similar, one built by Colt and one built by Smith & Wesson.
