He probabl;y means a gun with the Picatinny Rail system. That is a

universal mount for all sorts of optics, lasers and lights.

OTOH a "rail gun" is a magnetic accelerator that can get something

going real fast (like "launching into space" fast)
I could agree with that but like DI told Bill, the "Rail gun" term was used way before the accessories were even thought of.
I have been around 1911s most of my life, civilian and military. I
never heard it called a rail gun.
Most of the time it was just "45" or "1911"
Did they have a Picattiny rail for mounting accessories?
Yes. You need to get the bayonet,

option.

That might make it hard to holster!
