Development of selfloading pistols by Colt seems to have begun before 1900, while the specific designs that result in the M1911 was furthered from around 1904-05 onwards. Final designs tested at the end of 1910 decided between the Colt and its only rival (the Colt passing with no malfunctions where the opponent had almost 40). It was formally adopted in March 1911, hence the designation.
