You can abuse the weapon more so, and it will still fire.
Not so with the Colt.(A1911)>>>>

I thought the colt got the job as standard issue for US army based on its 
reliability.  It was put thru hell to mimic battle conditions and would still 
fire?

The military was primarily interested in how well it performed w/ball ammo.

That said, I'm still amazed at John Browning's designs and how well they 
have held up all these years later.  He was a true genius.  His 1911 
design well predates that year, and I continue to be amazed that the 
semi-auto firearms and firearms designs of 60 or 100 years ago are as 
frequently used by civilians today as they were back then.  A real tribute
to the designers.
