You know Bull just being newer doesn't make something more reliable right. Hack some times its the opposite. You're gonna have fewer mechanical failures with a bow then with any fire arms after all. Even fewer with a thrown rock.

As for this comparison the 1911 has seen combat in every enviroment on the planet and come away from it highley regarded for its durability/reliability. It was used by the U.S military for 75 years and many in the services think it should be, not to mention it and its varients are still one of the primary go to weapons of the U.S special forces. It has also been used by the military/armed forces of some thing like 2 dozen + countries. It is also a favorite among sport/competetive shooters/orginaztions.

On the other hand in its 25 years the Desert Eagle has seen limited use in maybe one or 2 militaries and is regarded by almost all shooters of all ilks that have handled it to be heavy, clumsy, unrealible, and impractical for carry and combat. Thats why even with its kind of power you don't see police, military, or other armed groups make common use of them. They are novelty item not a combat pistol.
