I bought my 1911 in 1989, it has been the most accurate and fun to shoot gun I've ever owned .

I have been carrying a Colt 1911 for more than 30 years along the AZ/Mex Border and this weapon has saved my bacon more times than I can count, to include 10 years as a SWAT operator, this weapon is still with me today along the Border. I have a couple of other 1911 to include an old series 70 satin nickel Combat Commander, and a Springfield Ultra compact, and one little baby 1911 in a Colt 380 Mustang, I love my old Colts and love to shoot them, my agency still has numerous Colt 1911s in use to this day. God bless John Moses Browning...God bless America.. Tony Parrish... Cochise County AZ

At 71 yrs young I have seen some old ones. Scott's collection is truly amazing. Thank you Shooting USA. Take care, Vern

WOW IM SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED BY SCOTTS COLLECTION he is so very passionate about the 1911s and I wish there were more people like him ! He has his priorities right and I admire him for being so in depth on the history information and stories behind every each piece of his collection! So refreshing to see a master collector doing the true dillagence of perfecting the classic art of firearms collecting especially when it's on my one of favorite pieces of history the 1911 , I aspire to one day be like him ,thank you Scott for sharing your collection is amazing and you sir are a true master of your hobby!

Love it! I was able to pick up a Remington Rand 1911 on the CMP lottery.

I have always loved Shooting USA, when it was on Network TV. Jim’s voice is engrained in my mind as the voice of firearms. I am glad to see Jim’s Son carrying on. I also loved Bob Munden. I am a huge fan of Byron Ferguson since I shooting a longbow and a recurve. I was so happy to find this on KZfaq. Thank you for continuing the great programming .

My father in law became a US citizen in 1975 in Hawaii. The same day he went to the gun store and bought a Colt 1911 and Colt AR15 with Colt scope. He still has them today.

All I can say is polymer guns, will never be an 1911.

What a collection

That is one great dude!!! We can all learn from his unending passion!!! Thanks guys

The one from 1935 with the curved grip looks phenomenal

Love 1911's

My first 1911 I got from my C.O. who had it built by a Marine armorer in Vietnam. Remington frame, Ithaca slide and Colt barrel. Guts polished like a mirror. Great gun.

That's an amazing story. You could never create a collection like that today..

Great video, I've always loved the 1911.

really appreciate the passion and appreciation for his collection. genuine joy on his face just talking 1911

What a wonderful, beautiful collection! Thank you very much for sharing!

Great video. I’ve had my Colt series 70 1911 for almost 40 years. My most prized gun. I love it

This collection needs to go to the Smithsonian when you pass. A whole separate wing. It should never be broken up.

Awesome segment! It’s incredible to see that unbelievable collection!

Love my 19111’s have several Colts and a Remington WWII model with holster & duty belt

That is an incredible collection. Great video, thankyou. From New Zealand

This is the best 1911 video out there, very well done with so much history. 1911 FTW.

This was a wonderful video. Would love to see more like this.

Awesome video, I picked up a Colt 1911 from 1917. From a Lt who brought it home after the war. I was able to track his unit, deployment rosters and find the battles he was in.

Wow, what great hustory and collection of ever brave colt M1911 cal. 45 acp!

Mr. Vickers, Excellent video. Thank you very much for covering the safety rules so clearly and effectively. Bob

Great TV Show, what a wealth of information and the passion for 1911! I always loved the Colt 1911 when I first laid eyes on it, I inherited a Colt 1911 that was manufactured back in 1926! And still function to this day, thanks for that great TV Show!

It's a Great video on all those 1911 all different kinds 😀 wow taught me new things 👏 🙌 😀 thank you

Wow, just an incredible video story for all collectors of the 1911! And a wonderful collection! I love my Colt firearms!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that's a great collection. Thank you for sharing some of it with us.

Incredible collection thanks for showing it.

You know it's a lunch box gun when the gun has sandwich and coffee stains on it Lol

Amazing history, THANK YOU SO much !

Incredible collection. Incredible man! Thanks, Scott, for enriching our lives because of your dedication to the fantastic 1911 pistol!

impressive collection. Thanks for doing this video.

My best and favorite firearm is my 1942 Colt Model 1911 with 1942 Colt slide used in WWII in the Pacific theater, stamped US Army. It was recovered in the Philippines return, and rebuilt by the CMP. And it shoots real good, too.

Amazing collection !!! congrats Scott !!! Greetings from Chile.

Still my Favorite Pistol Ever.

I only have one Colt 1911, I bought it because during Vietnam I stood watch with a fairly rare now Navy 1911. I have one other a Kimber, I collect but mostly mouse guns. Great videos guys.

That’s a great collection! I’ve shot 1911’s, but never had enough pennies to buy one.

Excellent video keep them coming. God bless America

What a collection!! Wish I was in your will!

A man cannot own enough 1911's.

Great collection, invaluable pieces shown here. I always wonder what will become of such a collection as this, really pieces of history.

What an amazing collection. But more importantly what a breadth of knowledge.

I can't imagine the money he has in that collection, great show, God bless!

I would work for free just to help clean these true and rare artifacts . My hat is off to you..Great historical video!

Beautiful collection

Great story !

I would love to jus sit and talk to that man for a week. The knowledge that man possess is incredible

That is a serious collector. Me, just one. One time it was a shooter. My Dad's, Ithaca 1944 with a black MP belt n holster. Run great. Now only a mag or two every couple of years.

I am jealous and envious at the same time. I became a lover of 1911 models just two years ago. Seeing your collection made me realize how much of a true model 1911 aficionado you are Sir. If technology was able to do this, imagine plugging in a thumb drive to your brain that holds all the history of the knowledge you process. Priceless. BTW, one thing I noticed you handling your firearms, have you ever considered using white gloves? Your pieces are so extraordinary, just the look of you handling your guns with white gloves will be some museum kind of look. Great video and thanks for sharing!

That was fantastic, thank you!

And I thought my 14 1911s is a lot 😁. Very impressive passion; my hat's off to you, fellow Patriot.

Love the videos keep them coming

That was very interesting, what a phenomenal collection, amazing

Outstanding Story! Thanks

Fascinating m8, the lunchbox nick name story is brilliant, i'm British & I was given a replica on one of my teenage birthdays & have loved them ever since, 1930's &1970's versions are my favourites, love that blue tint on the older models, dam good firearm

Excellent video!

Been shooting 1911s for 30 years now. I thought I was obsessed till I saw Scotts vault. I would love to spend a week with him.

I HAVE A 1911 MADE IN LATE NOVEMBER 1918 THAT WAS PUT INTO STORAGE AND ISSUED TO MY FRIEND IN WW2, HE SHOT OUT THE BARREL AND REPLACED IT WITH A COLT BUT DID NOT SAVE THE WORN BARREL, IT IS SO NICE I AM GLAD HE SOLD IT TO ME WHEN HE WAS DYING IN THE VA HOSPITAL, ALONG WITH A NAMBU JAP PISTOL. I MET HIM WHEN I SERVED IN THE SONS OF THE AMERICAN LEGION IN MY HOMETOWN. GREAT GUY,CAPT. POWERS,

Great stuff thanks

What a collection!

Awesome video.

Love this video

WOW, epic collection

Wow, those are some beautiful guns!

What an amazing collection

Another great video.

Bought my first 1911 last Christmas. Never looked back. I grew up shooting Glocks, Sigs, Smith & Wessons, all kinds of stuff. First time I ever shot one of my dads Colts it was love at first sight. Never looked back and am 100% a 1911 guy

Good stuff. Thank you.

I hope the ATF never touches a single one of his firearms

Wow now that's a collection to be Proud of 👏👏👏

Great video and what an awesome host with a great voice

🤩what an amazing collection of beauty and history

I would be beside myself just to have one of these Original Beautiful Colt 1911's. WOW IMPRESSIVE..

Great video.

Loved it.

The ATF would like to talk to you about that “lunch box gun”

Had a Ithaca I inherited from my grandpa. Unfortunately sold it to a gun shop in Fayetteville N.C. , when I was stationed at Ft.bragg in the early 90s. It was a great shooter. We have a colt and a Springfield armory 1911, but we still have the original holster for the old Ithaca. I still have the receipt for the old gun with the sn, I'm curious what ever happened to it, if it's in a collection, or somebody's bed side gun, or just a shooter.

I can only dream of being able to collect like this.

What a collector!

Great video

Great show on the 1911 .45, designed by the world's GREATEST FIREARMS DESIGNER, EVER, the genius John Moses Browning. I have owned a total of 4 1911s, and retain just two. And the two that I have retained are both Kimbers, the first 1911 I ever purchased was their version of their first ever stainless steel model, the Classic Stainless Target LE which I purchased in I believe around 1995 brand new. My other Kimber is a Classic Stainless Gold Match which I have a very, very sexy set of Elk Stag grips on it with just the perfect amount of bark and this particular gun has the best trigger I have ever felt on " any " gun. And I will say, even weeks before watching this vid I have been hankering to shoot one of my .45s. And as soon as the weather cooperates, I am going to put at least 100 rounds down range with one of my beauties !!!! Thanks for the excellent vid !

Amazing 😍

I can stay with that guy and his guns in a deserted island forever, lol

Very interesting! Subscribed.

I had a 1911 colt

This was excellent

Awesome.

Wow. What an amazing video. I am so proud of Americans who do this kind of collecting, and research. It keeps out gun heritage alive here in America. Doctor G.W.

I have two LNIB 1945 Unissued Rem Rand 1911's, with DCM (1149) paperwork my Dad got in 1962 on an NRA sale. Pristine. He paid $17 for them. Came from the Letterkenny Army Depot. They're sitting in my safe with a few other gems...

Love this.

My go to 1911 is a 1943 issue Remington-Rand that the finish is approximately 99%. I carried 1911's during most of my 23 years as a Marine and found that the Remington-Rand was the most dependable of all of the makes we had access too.

Love ❤️ it

In no doubt,an iconic pistol👌

Truly Amazing! And I thought I had a 1911 addiction...

I own a few 1911s myself, but my collection pails in comparison and none of mine are as notable as those in his collection.

More like a piece of American history. Probably the widest recognized civilian pistol ever,,, combined with military exploits that will never be eclipsed by any other handgun...great basis for a collection..
