The basic 1911 design is about a hundred years old. However, I guarantee there isn't a single person alive who could be competitive in an IPSC tournament with a traditional 1911.

The 1911 is a hundred year old design that has undergone 100 years of evolution and constant improvement. A good, modern 1911 will out perform what was available in the early 1900's hands down.
