How many individual parts are there

of a traditional 1911 pistol???

No google.  Give a number.

42, counting the only fasteners on the gun, the grip screws.

iceracerx

48 (fixed sight and counting the mag as 1 part)

Warbirds

I would ballpark a 1911 around 50 parts, including the magazine & its components.

I can tell you all the extra stuff they have you won’t find on a Glock if that is extra credit!

Ditch-Runner

not sure but I never had any parts left over after taking one all apart and putting it back together 

Sam06

One of JMB's less complicated designed guns.

55 parts

When I take one apart there's over 10,000 parts and none of them fit when reassembling.

Well, it seems not even the internet searches can provide a definite number.  The numbers vary between 48 and 58.  They get into things like counting all the grip panel screws as 1 or as individuals.  Same with the magazine, count the entire magazine as 1 or break it down also.
