OK, the venerable 1911 is approaching the century mark in its heritage (ok, that was really 2003 or 2007, but don't be pickey).
Colt, among others, should be designing the 100th year anniversary model and I think it's a great opportunity to create the new classic: the 2011.
So what should the 2011 look like?
My suggestion:
1911-style grip,
Titanium frame and slide
Beretta PX-type action
and .32 magnum caliber
(just as the .45 derives from the bottom half of a 30-06 case, the 32 mag could be built around the bottom of a .223)
staggered double-stack mag
glock rifling
5" barrel
XD-style safeties (striker, trigger, and grip)
That would be my 2011.
Yours?
