The Rarest 1911: North American Arms Co
This video delves into the fascinating history of the North American Arms Company Ltd. and its brief but notable involvement with the M1911 pistol. Established in Quebec in 1918, the company secured a contract to produce 500,000 M1911 pistols for the US government during a period of increased demand. However, the contract was cancelled before any large-scale production could commence due to the end of World War I. Despite this, parts for 100 pistols were manufactured and later assembled for commercial sale, making these particular M1911s exceptionally rare.
