D.G.F.M. - (F.M.A.P.) Argentine Colt ~ 1927 ~ .45 ACP

Description:
In 1914, the Argentine military adopted the Colt M1911 as their standard military sidearm and contracted with Colt to supply these guns. In 1923, Argentina adopted an armaments bill that would eliminate Argentine dependency on foreign arms. In 1927, the Argentine Commission for Foreign Acquisitions negotiated a contract with Colt for the manufacture of M1911A1 .45 caliber self-loading pistols specially marked and serial numbered in a separate series and secured a licensing agreement giving the Argentine government the right to manufacture these pistols using drawings, material specifications, instructions, etc. supplied by Colt. Production of the Sistema Colts began in 1927, and 14,000 were produced by 1942. In 1945, a new factory (FMAP) was brought on-line and produced another 88,494 pistols through 1966. The Sistema Colts continued to be used in Argentina until the 1990's, when they were replaced by Browning High Powers. In summary, the model 1927 is not a Colt clone, but rather a licensed production of a Colt M1911A1 by another manufacturer. All WV firearm sales are subject to no sales tax. .45 ACP
