The 1911 market really boomed around 2000 or so.
I've wondered how much the hi-cap mag ban of the mid-90s had to do with this. Did it have a little to do with it? A lot? Nothing to do with it?

The 1911 was intended to be carried chambered with the hammer down by the calvary.
SlamFire;
Excellent information! Do you know what year the regulation was changed to carrying the 1911 cocked and locked? Did this coincide with the introduction of the 1911A1?
I tried a S&W M19-3 4" barrel "Combat Masterpiece".

It does take more work to keep them running right than most of the modern offerings from SIG, S&W, Glock, and so on. Most of the modern guns have drop in parts. They usually don't need to be fitted. And a SIG 220 or one of the like can hold it's own in accuracy against any 1911 and keep ticking no matter what. Love my 1911's as works of art, a piece of history, and a great shooting gun. But give me my USP 45c or G30 any day if something bad goes down and their is no gunsmith to work on it if something goes wrong.
Hmm, well, ahhh -- for those who always have to have the Latest Thing, it isn't the Latest Thing!Ummm....pardon me...
But what is the "down side" to a design that's "over 100 years old"?
Neither is the old Model 51, but that didn't stop Remington from releasing its successor.Hmm, well, ahhh -- for those who always have to have the Latest Thing, it isn't the Latest Thing!

I hope they fix it.Will they drop that thing (not really familiar with it) or work out the kinks?
There can be feeding problems with the 1911 and hollowpoint ammunition.
