Does it get anymore classic than the Colt 1911? Well, depending on who you are asking, yes. But all things considered, this pistol is at least up there with the classics. In case you are unfamiliar with the non-LEGO version of this LEGO Gun of the Week, the M1911 was designed in, you guessed it, 1911 by John Browning. The key to its success was its simplicity; a single-action, semi-automatic, this gun takes a .45 ACP cartridge and has been a popular sidearm in wars from WWI all the way up to the Vietnam War. 

This LEGO Gun, by Flickr user ZetoVince, is as slick as its inspiration! The color choices on the bricks for this gun make for a cohesive final product that looks like it would work as seamlessly as the real deal. Thanks for creating this beauty, ZetoVince!
