The Theimer Model 1911 (or TM1911 for short) is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .455 cartridge and the later standard .45 ATP . It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the Royal Gallian Armed Forces from 1911 to the present. It was widely used in the First Europan War, Second Europan War, the War of Lorican Aggression, and the Imperial Crisis. The pistol's formal designation as of 1920 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .455, Theimer Model 1911 for the original model of 1911. When the .45 ATP was standardized, it became the Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, Theimer Model 1911A1 for the TM1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, TM1911A1 in the War of Lorican Aggression era. After 1924, it mainly fired the .45 ATP cartridge, Howeber, various models continued to fire the .455 Webley cartridge that the Lucis Armed Forces carries until today.
Gallia-Bruhl procured around 2.7 million TM1911 and TM1911A1 pistols in military contracts during its service life. The M1911 was replaced by the Erebonian 9mm MP70 as the standard Gallian sidearm in October 1986, but due to its popularity among users, it has not been completely phased out. Modernized derivative variants of the TM1911 are still in use by some units of the Gallian Special Air Service and other units.
Designed by Wolfgang Theimer, the TMM1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widely copied, and this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols.
