The M1911A1 is an American Icon because it was approved after a competition as the U.S. military's handgun of choice in early 1911. A series of improvements were made in the 1920s, based on suggestions of men who used it in World War I, but the basic design remained unchanged. It remained the combat handgun until the 1980s, when it was replaced by the Beretta 9 mm. Some special ops units still use the M1911A1 however.

I vote for the M1911A1. It has been protecting American democracy and freedom for 100 years! What a great design for a worthy mission.
