- In-game description

The WWII M1911 .45 is a weapon featured exclusively in the multiplayer of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It comes unlocked by default with the limited edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, along with the Thompson, though it can still be acquired normally by being promoted to level 3 in-game.

It gains a large damage increase from Battlefield 1943 from six shots to about three-four in the body and two in the upper neck and head region. Many players will choose this flexible weapon over the MP-412 REX due to its higher fire cap, faster recovery, slightly bigger magazine and in compensation, slightly less damage.

However, it has a relatively small magazine (only seven rounds compared to the M9's 12 round magazine) and its sights are a bit less defined and therefore are slightly harder to use than other pistols.

The M1911 is also featured in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion. It has a seven-round magazine and performs exactly as it does in the base game, though it has a slightly different reloading sound and wears a war-torn, 'battle-scarred' appearance.
