Actually, SA never made many 1911s, they're very rare today. Colt made most (about 240,000), followed by Remington-UMC (21,677), with Springfield a distant third (50,000 ordered but significantly less made due to their heat treating issues and concentrating on the 1903 rifle) and NAA an absolute last at 100. 1911A1s are much the same, with Colt being the most common, followed by Remington-Rand, then Ithaca, US&S and Singer.
