And so far, nobody has sued anyone doing WW2 games, to my knowledge, for calling a .45 Colt automatic a "1911A1" as it is properly known.
That's fair use. The .45 Colt 1911A1 Governemt Model was issued as the sidearm for officers and NCO's serving in the US Army during WWII (and up until quite recently), thus you would be allowed to use it in a game about WWII for historical accuracy. Need legal info...
