Accurizing the 1911

Invented by firearms genius John Browning and officially adopted by the U.S. Military in 1902, the COLT Model 1911 is undoubtedly one of the most popular handguns ever invented. Due to the intended use and need for reliability in any weather or terrain it was designed with loose tolerances so that neither cold, rain, mud, sand, nor water would prevent it from firing. Because of this, it is far less accurate than it could be. However, there are three steps that civilian owners can take to make this firearm considerably more accurate.
