After the successful testing of the Colt Model 1909, John Browning designed the .45 Caliber Prototype 1910. This prototype was a result of complementary praise by the Ordnance Board of the Luger anatomical features. This prototype has a slant grip for more natural grip and natural point. Browning demonstrated and tested the .45 Caliber Prototype 1910 at Fort Meyer in February of 1910. This prototype was the predecessor of the Colt Model 1911 Government Model.
