Bought one of these a month ago. Shot at range today. Couple hundred rounds of different brands and reloads between 4 different shooters. Not a single malfunction. Accuracy was dead on as well.

You DON'T EVER force a 1911 extractor over the rim, that can break the extractor. It's designed for the case to slide up into the extractor claw. Besides being a 12B Combat Engineer I was my Company's Armorer, and graduated from the United States Army's Armorers School. The magazine could be the problem, or it could be the Gun needs broken in. I'll tell you this, LUBE the weapon. Steel Frame Hand Guns want lube. You shouldn't let the slide slam home with out a live round, or a snap cap. On an empty chamber ease to slide forward.

These are great , use Wilson combat mags and Lucas grease never had a failure . But definitely break it in and cycle it a couple of nights

that "crimp" on the brass casing is to help keep the bullets from setting back deeper into the casing during feeding causing high pressure

A lot of people seem to forget that 1911s are mostly meant to fire FMJ’S

You MUST clean these guns very well before shooting it says in the manual or you'll have this problem

I recommended switching out the safety detent for the wilson combat version. Makes a much more positive click on these...which is my only gripe on these or the tisas. Great guns. Mine run like tops..... Edit: its bad practice to keep slamming your slide home in an empty chamber with 1911s. Walk it home with your hand instead of just firing it home after every mag.

Adjust the extractor. Had to tune mine and no problems!

Just bought one of these same model - my understanding is that they work best with 260 grain nato rounds. Will post later how it does first day on the range. Plan on putting some oil on it and not just use factory shipped status. Great video! Very helpful!

I noticed on this particular 1911 like most EAA products it has that very basic three ball site that comes on most of their firearms. I had the same problem with it is aiming low with my Tangfolio Witness and witness P compact. What I noticed was no matter how high or low the target was placed my shots always seem to be firing low. Out of curiosity I put a laser bore sight in the Chamber to see the trajectory of what was coming out of the end of the barrel and I realized that the rear sight on both firearms( same one on this 1911) was a couple millimeters too short and because of that while looking down it the end of the gun is always aiming low. After swapping it on my full-size it has fix the problem. Not sure if this helps when maybe it's something to check into.🤷‍♂️

Have this problem with mine when I shot it out the box, switched to Wilson combat mags no problem after that

Just bought one. Its a dream t9 shoot

Great video 👍. I am looking into these. I only have one thing to add, and I am not trying to be an internet dick. Watch wilson combat videos on pistol misuse. You shouldn't be using the slide stop to drop the slide on an empty chamber. It can damage the sear and over time mess up your trigger. I have to admit I didn't know of this for quite some time. It's really a 1911 issue, or any handgun with a hammer.

Put the white dot of the front sight right on top of the rear sight, and on your target, and it will eat the red bullseye 🎯. Mine does anyway.

Straight out of the box it's doing pretty good I believe that after you give it a good cleaning and lube it will perform just fine 👍

My Glock 17 and ruger carbine hi-point carbine love the 9mm version the Winchester service grade as soon as I seen the magazines you are using I was wow they look so much like hi-point magazines

Aren't you supposed to break in 1911s on ball ammo?

I'm up to a little more than 400 rounds through mine and not a single hiccup...Well worth the money..too bad they don't come with two magazines..

I just ordered an all black one. Excited to shoot it

1911 pistols routinely need 200 rnds to break in. Shot 500$ Colts in the 80s and throating and polishing feed ramps was required.

Sig mags have different bullet angles and fix many feeding issues. BTW, your video has 199 likes and I should be your 200th, I'm curious if yt is not counting thumbs up on gun related content. Do you see 200?

6:45 "...i'm gonna TRY to hit the tree..." Don't "try", Grasshopper...DO ! Limpwrist / failure to feed, then flinch. Lock down Both thumbs... ☆

Good 1911 build quality, however extra parts from the manufacture are not available for my 4.25inch 9mm. Thats a problem! has anyone found a match on part from another manufacture?

Hi great video, just letting you know during the video you can clearly see your full name and address on the card around your neck, not sure if that's something you are worried about or not but just thought I would point it out.

I'm thinking about grabbing one... I want a 1911 with a rail preferably a full length rail but can't find one.

If you want one of the best shooting 45's for the price pick up a CZ 45. I think i paid around $750 for mine. Dead on accurate and 100% quality. All steel.

Great Video!! Nice 1911 for the price!!! Good Shooting!!! 👍

It's the bullets,my 22 mag,missing to the right ,put in high price bullet ,hit everything

2nd man aim deadly😳😳😳

Question the place you are shooting looks like a place I used to shoot clays it wouldn't be briar rabbit I used to shoot a lot of clays never shot pistol there might have to give it a try

That malfunction was definitely odd. Not entirely sure what was at fault, I’ve never seen one like that.

I pick up mine, this weekend!

I changed to WC mags. Problems went away

manufacturer says to clean grease out first then oil it. shooting out of box it will jam

Bought one, after cleaning it it would jam constantly when using a mix os Wilson combat, sig, and the mag it came with. Used Winchester ammo. Pretty shitty

😯😯👍👍👍 verygood sudyord I FROM THAILAND 21 12 65 😁😁😁

I like review I like handgun how looks. Do have buyer regret because had major jam issue compare other 1911 that you own????

So this pistol will take any mag from any other 1911?

Seems it does like the hollow points fmj seemed better

Needed tuned many manufacturers just stick parts together colt has a video showing that

That round has to slide right up under the extractor

Will this accept a red dot? I know they make a model with a dot already on it, but that particular dot is not for me.

what's the price range

thanks for the video. a local pawn shop has one for $450. felt good in the hands and everything seemed really smooth

What does running a gun out of the box prove?

The guy with the blue flannel on has a bad grip on the gun .

Use the bullets you was using at first when you was hitting

Good video. I spent several years in Turkey, USAF, and Turks love their guns as much as we do. Here’s a video link that shows a bit of the Girsan factory: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtiopbF1q6i9nGw.html Some factory stuff at the beginning followed by discussion (in Turkish.) Near the end is more factory stuff. Keep the vids coming man.

Was going to purchase and now very weary from the reviews I see on here with ejection and loading the chamber issues.

Is this a gold finish or a grey, I am going to be buying one of these and I can't tell what color it is from the pictures, some it looks grey and others it looks gold.

I have one that I bought, so I need to oil it before shooting? I think the oil on it is just shipping oil?

Youre low right because you're flinching expecting recoil. Slow trigger pull and opposing force grip would fix your problem...

It's a little late now but you malfunction is caused by your extractor is not tuned correctly not uncommon on cheaper 1911's and the angle of the extractor face maybe off slightly easy fix with a competent gunsmith or a drop in wilson extractor.

It's a European American Armory?

Nothing wrong with that pistol. Is just cheap ammo and is brand new. The extractor is too stiff. Take home clean it and lube it. Get different ammo brands. Some guns are kind of picky with ammo when they are new.

I disagree with break in periods, some idiot was arguing to me that his $1,000 H&K needed a break in period. If your gun needs a break in period, then it was never reliable in the first place.

@2:34 that's what she said

Verygood

I purchased a gov and com length girsan (S and C), both of them shot about 3” too low. I sent them in for warranty sight replacement. Buyer has to pay for overnight shipping both ways (not optional), almost a $ hundred dollars. The sights they replaced it with were awful looking and the replacement job marred the slide a little bit. Took almost 2 months. The shooting low aspect is very common on all of these Girsans. Other than that, nothing else was wrong BUT thats a big deal to me, wont be buying from them (EAA/Girsan) again.

How is it wd reloads?

Watching reviews of these 1911s, just doesn’t seem like a pleasure gun.

Rack the pistol and don't play with it. All to often people soft rack semiautomatics thinking gonna break it. After 50 rounds just about any gun should be broken in. Your not lining your sights up.

What do you mean by "running" it? Is that the same as shooting it, and if so why don't you just say that you shot, or are shooting it? Otherwise good review.

Mine is fucking dead on. The only time I miss is when im doing piss poor at recoil management

Is the frame cerakote or nickel?

Your correct your not getting a 1911 that has rails without some god awful ugly aftermarket add on its incredible what they can do for the money but I was dead set on a tac ultra RIA for my first 1911 it’s just going to be a nightstand and a range gun I have polymer to carry so preferably I’d like it to have a rail and previously rock island seemed to be the best budget option with albeit machined upgraded parts over the standard 1911 like everything this girsan has making them really no brainer upgrades considering what the aftermarket cost would be. So I looked and the cheapest rock island I could find brand new is going to run all together $650-750 I was shocked when I saw these for 5 with everything you can want in that type of gun I’m just not sure about the longevity and reliability rock island is tried and true and has a pretty good reputation, but with everything I’m seeing I have to say I’m leaning towards the girsan. Who knows maybe I’ll just save up a little longer and get a Springfield TRP as my one gun 1911 collection this is unbelievable value though it’s kind of like the shadow systems equivalent to Glock but they are based in the US. I have an Rex zero 1t Ive been Uber impressed with so it’s not hard to see turkey is capable of making some incredibly reliable and quality built guns for stupid low prices girsan also has a m9 clone I’ve been itching to try out hell instead of the TRP I might end up with 2 girsans who knows too many choices 🤣🤣 I would be curious to see a vickers test though on some of these budget options on not only the frames but all the internals and parts

I definitely needed to hold at 12 o'clock to hit.

That's dangerous gun

Kinda gives me the creeps to see you guys put your trigger finger inside the trigger guard too soon…

7:00 Same issue I am having with mine, but it only happens on the last round. 200 rounds run through it.

That same gun is going for $550 now brand new

💯

No sale here

What are the odds of my MC 1911 S back firing and shooting a round into my head my grandpa has me super paranoid I wanna live …. Should I sell mine and retire from guns?

Tune the extractor sir

Are the +p rated anyone ?

What is the best self defense ammunition to use for this gun that will feed nice?

Did you take into account that you are shooting very close to the target?

Well it was you with the bad shot...not the gun

If you read this and you are not saved,I care about you enough to tell you that you have sinned against a Holy God and because of that you are under condemnation because you can’t keep His perfect law or be righteous on your own and because of you can’t keep His law or be righteous on your own you are stuck in your sin, and you will endure God’s wrath for your crimes against Him only if you do not come to know and believe in His son Jesus Christ who died on the cross so the door to have your sins forgiven could be opened and you receive salvation as a free gift, if you reject Him you will suffer for all eternity, turn from your sinful ways and live a life that is appealing to the Lord and brings Him Glory you don’t have all the time in the world,tomorrow is not guaranteed,sin doesn’t fill the void in your heart or give you the satisfaction you want, it only digs your hole deeper,and increases the things your trying to escape

A dude doing the chick lean!

i never have had good luck with federal ammo EVER.... always misfire and jams....

maybe human error??

First off why would you even release the slide then throw the magazine in and then rack it when you could just release it after you throw the mag and chamber the round that way? Doing too much. Also you got that gun DRY AS HELL! No wonder why you had issues!

Cheap ammo , I gave better luck shooting ball ammo breaking in new pistols about 15 0 rounds

You need to stop racking the gun with your finger on the trigger

i like that gun,the reason its shooting high that gun wanna make sure you are gonna hit your enemy but if you wanna aim to the head of your enemy it's another story.

Hope the car reviews are more professional than this!Explains why the subscription number is so low!

Ammo…..

Read the BBB reviews before you buy anything from this shitty company. I learned my lesson from making a huge mistake buying one of these. There customer service is the absolute worst.

Dudes, You NEED Some SERIOUS Work on your Trigger Finger Discipline!!!!!

Shooting like a girl.
