It was widely used in World War I, World War II, The Korean War and the Vietnam War. Its formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original Model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924.

It is popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as IDPA and IPSC shooting.
