Ammunition	.45 ACP (Hydroshock) 7 round magazine

The M1911 (named 'Kora 919' in-game) handgun is a popular American-made pistol chambered to use .45 ACP ammunition. It was the US Army's standard-issue sidearm from 1911 through 1985 and it, along with its countless derivatives, has remained popular in law enforcement, civilian and military applications all around the world.

This weapon is featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Characteristics

The M1911 could be considered the 'entry-level' .45 pistol. It is a balanced sidearm, combining good firepower and durability. It's less susceptible to damage and jamming than most pistols.

Appearances

Shadow of Chernobyl

The M1911 is a good upgrade from the Walther P99 in the early game, since it fires more powerful .45 bullets. Compared to the SIG Sauer P220 and Heckler & Koch USP Compact, the M1911 is heavier and more accurate, but has heavier recoil and is not as powerful.

A version with an attached silencer is carried by a stalker named Sparrow, whom Barkeep wants you to kill in an optional mission. A silencer cannot be attached to the weapon under normal circumstances. Two Colt M1911s can be found with ammo inside a stash in Agroprom. The weapon can also be bought from Barkeep.

Clear Sky

The pistol can usually be bought from Sidorovich, but as an alternative method of getting this weapon for free, the player can either:

1. Go to the Dark Valley and take Ganja's job for clearing out the gas station just outside the Freedom base.
2. Another way to obtain the weapon for free is by doing the job from Yoga, where the player would have to clean out the flea market. One of the rewards is a stash with a fully upgraded Colt M1911, tooled for damage and accuracy. Also, if the player clears out the concentration camp in the Garbage, one of the workers will thank him by giving him the coordinates of the same stash.

Some experienced and veteran Loners carry this weapon as a sidearm, but Monolith veterans are known to use this as their standard issue sidearm. When fully upgraded for accuracy and damage, the M1911 is unparalleled in distant shooting and delivers decent damage in terms of pistols. Albeit it has the highest overall accuracy, in terms of damage it falls short of the Desert Eagle. It is also has the second lowest overall firing rate, just above the Desert Eagle. It can be fitted with a silencer.

Got a job for you, Marked One...

Of all the pistols in the game the M1911 seems to have the heaviest recoil, even when compared to other .45 caliber handguns. It can no longer be fitted with a silencer.
