Savage 1911 Features After more than a century of evolution John Moses Browning s venerable single-action semi-auto is still standing strong. The gun that beat the Savage Model 1907 to become the US Military s M1911 is now being given the Savage treatment. The Savage 1911 is built from stainless steel and has a dual recoil spring and machined sear and disconnector. While the look pays homage to the original the Savage 1911 is built for hard use.
