The classic Colt M1911 A1. Easy to use, accurate and with tremendous stopping power, this weapon will not let you down.

The Colt M1911 A1, or simply the Colt 45, is a small gun in Fallout Tactics.

Characteristics

A good pistol with solid damage and range. However, ammunition is not common or cheap. After the two shotguns it's the best non-automatic weapon for close quarters shooting in the early game.

Locations

Notes

A similar weapon, the .45 Auto pistol, appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Appearances

The Colt 45 appeared first in Fallout, on the cover of the Guns and Bullets magazine. Chris Taylor desired to include it as a usable firearm, but failed to do so in order to limit the types of ammunition [1]. It was not until Fallout Tactics that it became a usable weapon.
