About Real Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver The Smith & Wesson M1917 is a historic double-action revolver chambered in .45 ACP. Developed during World War I to address a shortage of the standard-issue Colt M1911, it became a substitute standard sidearm for the U.S. military. Featuring a 5.5-inch barrel, large N-frame design, and a six-round capacity, it was constructed from carbon steel with an original blued finish. Utilizing half-moon or full-moon clips for .45 ACP cartridges, it saw action in multiple conflicts, prized for its reliability and stopping power.
