The M1917 revolver, also known as the Colt New Service, is an iconic six-shot revolver that served prominently in the 19th Centaury. Designed by Colt, it was initially intended for the US military during World War I to address the shortage of the M1911 semi-automatic pistol.
During the Vietnam War, the M1917 revolver, although largely replaced by more modern firearms, still saw occasional use among American forces. While not as prevalent as other sidearms like the M1911 or the M9, the M1917 retained its reputation for reliability and durability. Its simple design and .45 ACP chambering made it a trusted backup weapon for some soldiers, particularly those who preferred its robust construction and stopping power in close-quarters combat. Despite the proliferation of newer handguns during the conflict, the M1917 revolver remained a symbol of American military heritage and its legacy continued to be felt on the battlefield.
