Editorial Reviews: Product Description Have you ever wondered why the Colt 1911 has certain featues? How has the design survived for so long, even thrived in the world of competition shooting and self defense? How would the Glock 21 or the Beretta M9 have done in the pistol trials of 1910? This work is the author's opinion based on experience and years of reading and research on Colt 1911 pistols. It assumes the reader has some knowledge and experience with the 1911 handgun. It is the author's conjecture regarding the process used by Government, John Browning, and Colt Firearms to develop the most significant semi-automatic pistol of the 20th Century and possibly the last pistol to be designed to kill men efficiently. Browning and Colt left no publically published records of the detailed reasons behind many of the features found on the pistol. The author has used his knowledge as an engineer to attempt to rationalize the thought behind the design.
