yes, the 1911 is obsolete as in the style is no longer current, but only based on the fact that newer pistols generally tend to have updated safety mechanisms .
Do tell: what pistol has more safeties than a series 80 1911?
Because it has: a grip safety, thumb safety, firing pin safety, and half-cock "safety". AND you don't have to pull the trigger to field strip it.
I am genuinely curious what modern pistol is MORE safe than a 1911. (Hint: just because Glock markets a "safe-action pistol" doesnt mean it is actually safe)
