In production for less than two years, the California-made Randall M1911 hails from the Reagan-era and is a solid piece of firearms history that is increasingly collectible.

While John Browning’s everlasting M1911 design (colt 1911) had long been made in various blued, chromed and nickel coatings, up until the early 1980s it had not been cranked out in a production stainless steel model. That’s where the company formed by airline executive Ken Lau and retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Russell Randall, seized the opportunity.

The Randall Firearms Company began firearm production in Sun Valley, California, and by June 1983 they started marketing what gun writer Len Davis *described that year in American Handgunner, the “first full-size, all-stainless steel .45 ACP autoloader.”

Advertised as and sold in boxes labeled, “The Only Stainless Steel Fit for Duty,” Randall pistols were indeed all-stainless, with the only black parts being the handgun’s sights– which were also stainless (SAE410) under the treatment. Most of the parts were crafted from SAE 17-4 PH stainless alloy. The standard grips on most models were National Match-style checkered walnut. At the time, they were advertised at around $500, which adjusts to about $1,300 in today’s cash.
