This used Colt 1911 in .45 ACP was made in 1918 and has a 5-inch barrel. The supplier reports that about 80 percent of the finish has been redone, and the grips show significant wear from carry use. It is a Colt handgun in the classic 1911 chambering, and the listing gives the condition details a buyer needs before ordering.

A 1918 Colt in .45 ACP suits a buyer who wants an older, well-used pistol for range work or as a collection piece. In New York the pistol license comes first, because a dealer cannot transfer a handgun until you hold one. The refinish and grip wear are the condition points to weigh, and the photos and notes are worth reading before you commit.
