An improvement over the original, 1889, version of the Schmidt–Rubin rifle, the Swiss M1911 placed the locking lugs in the middle of the bolt, rather than at the rear, strengthening the action and allowing a more powerful cartridge, the Gewehrpatrone 11 or GP 11 to be used.
It is distinguished from the 96/11 rifle by a curved buttplate and by a stock with an integral semi-pistol grip.
 It uses a graduated tangent sight which begins at 300 meters.
 The 1911 and 96/11 rifles are characterized by exceptional accuracy and were made with excellent craftsmanship.
 The fact that Switzerland remained neutral through both world wars ensured that they are in far better condition, on average, than the rifles of other European nations from that vintage.
