This video examines a 1911-style pistol fabricated by the Korean Pusan Iron Works during and shortly after the Korean War. The pistol, serial number 247, is largely a domestic Korean production, though it incorporates a few US-made parts like the firing pin and recoil spring guide, likely scavenged from captured American firearms. The Pusan guns represent a middle ground between crude homemade firearms and true factory production, being fully functional mechanical copies of the 1911 but lacking the precise interchangeability of mass-produced parts. The video highlights these pistols as an interesting example of wartime Korean arms manufacturing.
