Quality craftsmanship starts with the design.  John Moses Browning was a genius at designing things for maximum function, and his Model 1911 is no exception.  Art.  That’s the only way to describe it.  Pure artistry in metal and wood. Nothing extraneous, and everything complimentary, all the pieces go together in a synergistic fashion so the end result really is more than the sum of its parts.

There’s not been a man like him since, and the world is poorer for it.

Even though this Dan Wesson CCO is beautiful, I still carry it frequently. Safe queens don't save lifes!

History lesson via Browning:

The battlefield experience against the Moros resulted in the famous Thompson-LeGarde tests by the US Military in 1904. In these tests a variety of military cartridges of the day were tested for their penetration, ‘stopping ability’ and energy transfer, using both live and dead cattle at the target medium. While somewhat subjective by modern standards, the tests resulted in an official recommendation “…that a bullet, which will have the shock effect and stopping effect at short ranges necessary for a military pistol or revolver, should have a caliber not less than .45."
