The classic Colt M1911 A1. Easy to use, accurate and with tremendous stopping power, this weapon will not let anyone down. Least of all the Brotherhood, who apparently use it as their standard sidearm.[1]
Overall: nice damage, good range - a good pistol, but ammunition is not common.
Locations[]
3 carried by raiders in Brahmin Wood. One is on a raider outside the compound entrance. There's another on a raider inside the road block. Third carried by raider boss Horus inside the raider base in Brahmin Wood.
1 can be found in Freeport, inside the chest in the O'Reilly tent.
The Colt 45 appeared first in Fallout, on the cover of the Guns and Bullets magazine. It was not until Fallout Tactics that it became a playable weapon.
