2026 isn’t about surprise revolutions, it’s about refinement, smart collecting, and understanding what actually matters. For collectors paying attention, the real opportunities come from separating confirmed reality from hopeful speculation.
Properly documenting your firearms collection isn’t about paperwork, it’s about stewardship. Knowing exactly what you own, where it came from, and how it’s cared for transforms collecting into curation.
For collectors who appreciate fine art and sculptures, the Colt 1911 occupies a unique space as functional artwork – a piece that John Moses Browning designed over a century ago that somehow still looks modern and feels relevant. These aren’t just firearms; they’re tangible connections to pivotal moments in American history, hand-fitted by craftsmen whose knowledge and skills have disappeared, making each surviving example in original condition increasingly precious to discerning collectors.
