Seems true to me . STI may own the name but I think you're correct . 2011 has become shorthand as a description of a double stack 1911 . A lot like Derringer became a way to describe a pocket pistol .I know this is a 1911 forum but I hope someone can explain to me the definition of '2011'. I believe STI started using that moniker to describe their double-stacks but the term seems to have grown legs to mean ANY 1911 double-stack. True or not?
The moniker 2011 was meant to bring the original 1911 into the future, next century new rendition, the next step, so to speak. There was a "nitch" a market for reliable Hi-Cap compitition guns and this was the next generation in the 1911 platform, and from this also inspired the creation of the SVI line, both exceptional platforms for any use.I know this is a 1911 forum but I hope someone can explain to me the definition of '2011'.
