Prototype Colt-Vektor: A 1911 on the Outside and a Beretta on the Inside
The Colt-Vektor prototype, part of the late 1990s ProTec series, uniquely blended the iconic 1911 external design with the internal mechanics of the Beretta 92. Developed through a partnership with South Africa's Vektor, this firearm aimed to revitalize Colt's handgun offerings after several market failures. Despite its innovative design and even testing as a 'smart gun,' the project was ultimately canceled.
