If there's one handgun that can be called an icon, it's the Springfield Armory 1911. The M1911 is a semi-automatic, single-action, recoil-operated, magazine-fed pistol. It's a design that's been copied by every brand in the industry and is now the leading style of handgun.

It was used in World Wars I and II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and was the U.S. Armed Forces' standard issue sidearm from 1911 until 1986 when it was replaced by the 9mm Beretta M9. 1911's remain popular today; they are used by some military units as well as international competitive shooters.
Located in Springfield, Massachusetts, the Springfield Armory was the primary manufacturer for U.S. military firearms from 1777 until its 1968 closure. It is now preserved as a historic site and the world's largest collection of historic American firearms. The Springfield brand is known for its innovations in manufacturing weapons with systems such as interchangeable parts, hourly wages, and assembly line productions.

In addition to its extensive line of 1911 semiautomatic pistols, the company ventured into polymer framed pistols in 1999 and produced them for the Croatian Army before introducing the XD (Xtreme Duty) to the U.S. market in 2001. These handguns are renowned for reliability, durability and accuracy. For women who are looking for a reliable semiautomatic handgun - a Springfield XD could be the perfect fit for your hands and purse. 

The smaller size also gives these pistols superior balance and ergonomics. A favorite feature of the XD is that the gun is available in barrel lengths that are shorter than average and various frame sizes to ensure a comfortable fit for all hands and carrying positions.
