Go to pistol-forum.com for details on how to find the photo and the contest to see who’ll be first to figure out what gun it is…
edited to add: Congratulations to klugtrane for his quick work on solving the puzzle and identifying the Springfield 9mm 1911!
Train hard & stay safe! ToddG
In case Todd went to bed, a Springfield 1911 with a rail — can’t see the caliber from the picture.

After seeing those screw heads, I’d like to amend my round count down, DRASTICALLY!
Wow, that gun breaks down into lots of small parts. Good luck putting it back together.
@JohnO – And Todd had a hard enough time putting the HKs back together in the right order. 😎
This is a really awesome way to introduce the new gun. I had a lot of fun doing the puzzle, even tho the contest has been won.
Now this is going to be interesting. A 1911 in 9 mm. Personally, while I love 1911’s I think they are unnecessarily heavy for carry purposes, and I wonder about the reliability of a 9mm. Still, Todd I have to say that this was an interesting–and gutsy–call.
It also might be an act of marketing genius. I expect traffic on your websites to go way up because of this.
A 9mm 1911???
Seriously???
Good grief… Why not a .45?
Talk about an odd ball, perhaps a .40 or .38Super?
AWESOME!! I love it! I’ll hang on every word of the endurance test. 9mm … .45 … doesn’t matter. Well … kind of.
This is going to be cool. I really look forward to this one.
Just my luck, it requires flash and I’m at work where flash is spotty at best.
If you read the thread at the link, someone solved it within a couple of hours and the gun has been announced.
Is that a Wayne Novak mark on the front of the slide?
