It just dawned on me that the MODEL 1911 was submitted for testing in 1910 (and I believe patented that same year), and was adopted in 1911. That means this venerable design is 100 years old and going strong! In my opinion, it is still the finest offensive/defensive handgun in the world. Not too many military weapons still in service 100 years later (M2 50 cal is a close second!)
