Hello,
I know the Model 1911 isn’t a very popular model, but it does have my interest for it’s “unique” operations and the story behind its existence. I call it the anti-Browning shotgun.
Anyway, I own 2 of them and I’m selling the younger one. The older, 3 digit s/n, I’ll hang on to.
Through all of my searches I’ve never seen a Winchester 1911 for sale in any gauge except 12. According to Wiki they were also made in 16, 20, and 28 ga. Has anyone ever seen a 1911 in one of those other gauges?

Corey,
The Model 1911 S.L shotgun was 12-gauge only, never manufactured or offered in any other gauge. Wiki is not a reliable source of information for old Winchester firearms.

The Winchester Model 11 is known as the Widow Maker. You really need to read about this gun before you shoot it. But, since you have 2 you are probably aware of the issue.

Thanks Bert and Chuck,
I have shot both of those 1911s. If you follow proper procedures then they shoot just like the A5 they were made to mimic.
Guess I won’t be looking any more for those other gauges.
