Weapons of Max Payne 3 video shows the 1911 semi-automatic

max1911semiauto

Watch Max Payne shoot a rather sexy pistol in the video and screenshots below the break. Both feature the 1911 semi-automatic making its return in Max Payne 3.

If you head on over to the game’s website, you can view 360 renders of the weapon.
