Since being bought by CZ a few years back, colt I am sure is going through a massive reorganization and is trying to stay relevant in the market place. They are doing well with the reintroduction of several revovlers.
I think CZ is likely to be a bit more consumer focused than the old Colt and has a better sense of the handgun market than most.
I would expect to see some evolution of the 1911 in some way, it wouldn’t surprise me to see colt introduce a 2011 variant at some point, but who knows
