| rdfs:comment | - The Obregón is a Mexican designed semi-automatic pistol designed in the mid-1930s by a mechanical engineer, Alejandro Obregón. It uses the same .45 caliber ammunition as the Colt 1911 and resembles it in overall appearance, frame size and weight. However, its short-recoil operating and barrel locking system employs a diagonal cam on the rear of the barrel sliding against a diagonal receiver-mounted groove to rotate the barrel, much like that of the Austro-Hungarian Steyr M1912 pistol, not the "swinging link and pin" of the Colt M1911 series.

| abstract | - The Obregón is a Mexican designed semi-automatic pistol designed in the mid-1930s by a mechanical engineer, Alejandro Obregón. It uses the same .45 caliber ammunition as the Colt 1911 and resembles it in overall appearance, frame size and weight.

One of the Obregón's design curiosities is that its safety switch and slide lock are a single unit. A few hundred of these pistols were produced at the national armory in Mexico City during the 1930s, but it was neither a sales success nor was it commissioned to be made for the Mexican government.
