If you are referring to Colt model 1911 or 1911A1 Government issue pistols, it was because there was a need for increased production .During WWI ,they were also made by Remington Arms UMC & Springfield Armory. During WWII besides Colt, they were also made by Ithaca,Remington Rand and Union Switch & Signal, Also about 500 each made by Singer Mfg and H&R.
