It's completely obsolete.
Comparing my 1911 to my Glock or M&P is like comparing an Iron sighted M1garand to a M16 with an Aimpoint or ACOG.
-My Kimber rusts, my Glock/M&P deosn't.
-Its slow and heavy to draw, the multiple safeties slow it way down.
-Grip deosn't feel right with a combat grip style. Too loose around the back strap. The Glock is as simple as draw and shoot, no worries about flicking off the safety or having my hand in exactly the right spot to actuate the grip safety.
-not really all that reliable.
-1911's have poorly desighned mags with a floaty top round that nosedives. Modern gun have all the rounds in the mag parallel to each other .
My Glock 23 (modified trigger and other assorted upgrades, its an $850 Glock.) runs circles around my kimber CDP. This may have been cutting edge tech 50years ago.... but today there's plain better moustraps.
I'd happily trade my CDP for a G21 with a few mags.
