Sorry, the 3rd edition put M1911A1's in "Riverton" at 1.13kg empty(p.32) The Armory by Kevin Dockery has 1.106kg empty(p.13), TMP 4TH Ed has 1.05kg on page 248. Page 20 give 25g to the ounce as a ball park figure, I used the more accurate 28. But a quick glance at Colt's catalog online gives 35oz for the M1991A1, 37oz for the Series 70. Older GI M1911A1's are 39oz or 1105g. So either the metals changed or the manufacturing has(Colt retooled a few years back). HP35's were closer TMP4TH has .88kg, the first book I grabbed had .8kg. I'm working on more civilian stuff for Rogue 417 using TMP's rules. Kevin Dockery was an armorer in the army after college, so I'm not surprised his figures were closer. Using 25 to the oz equals 920g for the S70, 28 gives 1010g.
