Yeah, we all know the 1911 was adopted in 1911. Hence the name, model of 1911.
As far as crafting goes, very few firearms are "crafted" today and colt is not among them. As far as manufacturing technology goes, the issue seems to be machined by hand or machined by computer. The computer seems to make less mistakes in the manufacturing process. And I don't think colts are all that hands on anymore are they? Handmade? Like a Korth or C. Sharps? Colt's are better than most, but not as good as some. There are better 1911's out there than Colt. As for there "dark days" being over. Don't count on it.
