The 2011 was just recently put into production if I remember correctly. Essentially it is a shiny version of the 1911. Ergo - the 1911 is not outdated - it just isn't super-shiny. It was probably the most innovative handgun designed and made in America - and even 100 years later it is still a NICE gun. Also, if you really look around, at least half of the shooter-games in existence feature it - it is basically a social standard for this genre really.
