Why the M1911 Pistol Is Over 100-Years Old and People Still Love Them

Legendary.

The 1911 pistol is most of the times a workhorse, but collectors like to take it a step beyond. By ordering custom-made, sometimes one-of-a-kind pieces that satisfy both technical and aesthetic desires they create a legacy piece.
