Quick answer
The Kolt 1911 is a .45 ACP semi-automatic handgun with solid accuracy, manageable recoil, and strong stopping power for a pistol. Its main weakness is its smaller 7-round magazine, but its magazines are easier to find than FX-45 magazines, making it a reliable early-to-mid game sidearm. Because .45 ACP is subsonic, the Kolt 1911 also works well with suppressors for quieter close-range fights.
