Mr. Reising was a contemporary and employee of John Browning and played a significant role in the development of the Colt 1911. He went out on his own and developed a machine gun for the troops in WWII, but before that had turned a hand to this target pistol.The general form factor of the pistol follows the 1911 pattern. The magazine is two-tone, as were early 1911 mags, de to heat treatment interfering with the bluing process. Nice little pistol, but we need to make the statement, use standard velocity ammo. My research indicates that modern high velocity ammo may be too much for them.
