Historical Background
The K11 was introduced in 1911 and replaced the longer infantry rifle model 1911 in units that required a more compact weapon, such as cavalry and artillery. It was significantly more manageable than its predecessors, yet still extremely precise – a characteristic for which Swiss military rifles are known.
The K11 was regularly modernized during its service life, particularly for the use of the more powerful GP11 cartridge, which was introduced in 1911. This cartridge is still known today for its high ballistic performance.
Special Features
Straight Pull Bolt: The bolt developed by Rudolf Schmidt allows for quick reloading – the bolt is pulled straight back and pushed forward again without a rotational movement. This accelerates the rate of fire compared to conventional bolt-action rifles.
Precision: Thanks to high-quality manufacturing and powerful ammunition, the K11 is very precise – it is still appreciated by sport shooters today.
Craftsmanship: Swiss military weapons from this era are characterized by outstanding manufacturing quality – this also applies to the K11, whose systems often still function reliably even after decades.
