Model 11 "Boer War?"View attachment 818199
NoWasn't the M11 called a Suicide Special? Wasn't that the shotgun the shooter loaded by placing the buttstock on the ground, and chambered a round by holding the end of the barrel, and pumping it?
That looks like an Auto 5.

Had any problems what so ever with the thing?
The winchester model of 1911 is the one you are referring to where you have to cycle the gun with the barrel.
The picture posted is that of a Remington Model 11. A licensed version of Browning’s Automatic 5. Very different from the “Widowmaker”.
I have a Remington Model 11 from 1925, as well as a very early Model 11-48. Although both are long recoil designs, they are most certainly not the same gun.
