		While Colt continues to offer "factory custom" 1911s in the form of their new XSE models, it was recently decided that the all-matte M1991A1 model had about run its course and no longer offered the buyer much.
		Colt's decision then was to improve the appearance of the product, which hopefully would justify the price increases and make it more appealing to the buying public.
		The extractor in a 1911 is a critical component that affects reliability, but unfortunately most 1911s in the sub-$1000 range (regardless of manufacturer) use cheap cast or MIM extractors in their guns, which have a known tendency to fail after awhile.

		A.44 mag barrel for a 1911 wouldn't have significantly thicker walls than a.45 ACP barrel unless you increased the outside diameter, which would make rethinking the design of the slide and barrel bushing like you have to for the.50 AE 1911s I've seen pictures of.
