An experimental Colt Model 1911 made from stamped sheet metal.Created by General Motors in 1947, this prototype Colt 1911 was an experiment in producing weapons out of stamped sheet metal. The idea behind this was to be able to produce a lighter version of the Colt 1911 using faster manufacturing processes and cheaper materials. The design failed, however, since a standard Colt 1911A1 weighs 39 ounces, and the new stamped version weighed 50 ounces. Only 20 prototypes were ever made. -- source link
