Were older guns made better than modern ones?

I’ve been thinking about this lately, were older firearms really made with better craftsmanship and longevity or do today’s materials and machining actually win out?

I trust the way guns are made now, but after a day at the range, I still appreciate the feel of old steel and wood in my hands.

Having shot for years, I believe classic guns lasted so long because people took care of them. Nowadays, guns work great if the quality is kept up.

From a collector's point of view, old guns feel like they were made with care, but when the weather's bad, new metal and coatings are better than what they used to use.

When I'm training people, I notice they do well with how modern guns feel but older guns teach you control because they're heavier and made more simply.
