Took my then 12-ish year old daughter to the range a couple of years ago. Lined up a bunch of rentals, polymer 9's and .22's, an AR pistol and my beater/rattle trap Regent 1911. After she shot several mags through everything I asked her what she liked best and wanted to finish out the session shooting. She picked the 1911. I'm not afraid to admit that I shed a single, manly dad-tear that day. That 1911 is now hers, gunsmith tuned and cerakoted pink with Hello Kitty grips. Pretty proud of her. The next generation is out there.

My first gun was a revolver, a colt trooper used in 357. My first time shooting it. On about the 15th round. The cylinder was out of time And it's stung the hell out of my hand so bad. I dropped it in the dirt. Took it back to my lgs And traded it in on a brand new series 70 Colt .45acp government model for $295. Nothing fancy but I loved it wish I still had it. Now I have a Springfied TRP .45acp, A Dan Wesson Valor 10mm, Les Baer PremierII .45acp. None of them have rails or optic cut. I like to carry 1911s stuck in my belt with the muzzle in my jeans, rear pocket. It just feels right. I hope to get another Colt 1 day. I do have a Colt SAA New Frontier .45 Colt 2nd gen but it is a safe queen. 1911s FOREVER.

Fun fact, the empty chamber/uncocked hammer carry was a result of a pissing match between colt and whomever was making the holsters at the time. It was found that the holster would switch off the safety and the result would be Private Balshack shoots his own leg. The Army sided with the holster maker and told Colt to fix it, so Colt basically told them the gun is to be carried chamber empty as an FU.

I'm a 62 y.o. retired USMC Master Guns. I was in for 22 years(1982 - 2004), I was deployed in seven different countries (Beirut, Grenada, Panama, Columbia, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan),, and I carried a 1911 for the entire time I was actively deployed. My personal choice was a 5" Springfield 1911-A1 National Match, but I have since gone EXTREME. I have the king of all 1911's, a Springfield 1911-A1 with a Rowland .460 Magnum conversion. This thing can drop a CHARGING RHINO at 500 yards, and I have tagged the 10 ring at 1000 yards ! It's a BEAST !

Picked up myself a ruger sr1911 with the lightweight aluminum frame for under 600. Now it’s my first 1911 so I can’t say much about comparison but it definitely shoots well in my option and very accurate too.
@jrbasstrombone 8 ай бұрын
My first 1911 was the Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander in God’s caliber, which I traded in the Glock 26 and Remington Tac-14 12ga that had been my EDC and home-defense weapons up until then for shortly after separating from my then-wife, who wouldn’t have cared that I A) reduced the total # of guns in the house, and B) spent less (after the trade-ins) than she had on her last trip to Ulta for makeup, and either lectured me, or found some kind of passive-aggressive way to punish me for it lmao. I can’t for the life of me figure out why the Lightweight Commander MSRPs for $450 more than the Lightweight full-size ($1249 vs $799; actual retail prices according to GB are ~$899-1k and $630-680, respectively), because a side-by-side comparison of their spec sheets straight off the Ruger website reveals that the only differences between the two are the grip material, length (barrel/slide & OAL), and weight. Hardwood instead of G10 grips, and being 0.92” shorter & 1.8oz lighter OAL just doesn’t come out to a ~$300 price difference IMO, luckily back when I bought mine, they were running $7-800. One Smith & Alexander aluminum carry-width magwell (the only Al one I’ve ever found, S&A can’t be ordered direct online, you MUST call, but the guy is super friendly and their prices are some of the best in the industry for the quality of the product, I have a stainless one on my Ronin and it is ALSO impeccable), a set of slim magwell-cut orange/black G10 LOK Grips (to match my collection of Cutlery Shoppe exclusive Spydercos), an XS white Ember front sight w/blank U-notch rear, and Nighthawk Custom Drop-in Trigger System w/one of their fully machined stainless thumb safeties gunsmith-fit to it, a full set of their pins & springs, and their Everlast recoil system w/a flatwire spring & full-length guide rod, plus I picked up a full complement of the obligatory Wilson Combat 8 & 10rd “Elite Tactical” magazines (the railed ones with the reinforced feed-lips and self-lubing/anti-tilt followers) when Brownells was doing one of their 3/$80-90 (or something like that) sales. Despite having added a number of other pistols to my collection (all 1911s save my SA-35 & East German Makarov), I still carry my trusty Ruger in the Commander-length Galco Royal Guard 2.0 holster (think Milt Sparks horsehide SS2) I picked up for $100 (MSRP: $185/ARP: ~$150) in an open-box deal on Amazon nearly every day, so don’t get me wrong at all: I f**king LOVE this gun, but I really can’t see spending a whole grand on it stock. With my upgrades it has a 3.5# trigger with 0 creep, a baby hair’s worth of overtravel, and the *perfect* amount of reset, plus, not only is the recoil spring rated to a minimum of 15k rounds, but the recoil reduction & timing between it, my hammer spring, and the trigger reset is such that even in rapid fire, it’s easy to forget that you’re shooting an alloy-frame gun, and at 15yd I’m able to put up groups that rival my Government-length/steel-frame Colt, and my buddy’s Springfield TRP (both in .45ACP as well), so I 100% believe the 5” version of this gun is capable of at least the same level of accuracy, if not better). Still can’t understand the significant price difference, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh well, I guess I’m just lucky I snagged mine when I did lol
@chrisjosekuehl 8 ай бұрын
Ruger makes a great gun and is a great company. They haven’t really figured out the polymer striker fired pistols yet but everything else they make is top notch. That aluminum Ruger 1911 has got me rethinking carrying a 1911. Hopefully they will make an aluminum framed 1911 with a bobtail grip, pic rail, optic cut and maybe they could figure out a way to make a staggered stack magazine that doesn’t feel like a steel 2x4 in your hands like the Rock Island double stacks but also isn’t $2k.

Carried an out of the box Colt 1911 series 80 until I retired in 2019. Thankfully, I worked for a smaller department that allowed officers to carry their own choice if they wanted to. OBTW, it's called "Arsenal Refinished". Thought you might know that if you deal with 1911s regularly. When I worked undercover, I carried a Colt 1991A1 Compact again, out of the box. I've never found it necessary to "modify" any 1911 I've every owned or carried, why destroy perfection. I guess that puts me in the "Purest" when it comes to my 1911s. The best non Colt I've found and owned is the AO 1911A1, no modifications period.

Capitalism. If you want to sell a gun to the American market where there is a lot of competition, you make good guns for good prices, or you go out of business. Turkish companies that started doing it right are only getting better

My very first 1911 purchase was an Ed Brown custom Kobra 5 inch in 45ACP. That is my BBQ gun and will never get rid of it. They do not market themselves very well. They rely on word of mouth, blogs, and just the 1911 community to get the word out.

i found my 1942 colt 1911a1 army for 300$ from a gun shop it came with a shoe box that contained what turned out to be all of its old gi internals, barrel bushing i micro adj rear sight and 3 two tone mags. turns out it had ben gone over and has colt contract nm prefix barrel and bushing fitted & installed and a few other parts wer actually hand made like the fixed sights and the trigger, and evry working surface is polished its pretty crazy. the reason it was so cheap is that it had ben expertly polished and charcoal blued, the frame and slide and fire blue all the small parts..it made it quote practically worthless! the slide and frame are numbers match still at least lol ya know i sold the three two tone mags for 300$ lol so it ended up costing nothing! ide wager that it was the best 1911 at the shop that day by far, for less than a new rock island! its the most dependable 1911a1 ive ever shot and shoots exactly wear you are aiming and will keep up with any other custom made target rigs made for camp perry national match. i got lucky and will treasure it as long as i live.

The 1911 is my all tie favorite pistol. Your expert made a comment about carrying a 1911 in combat that I have heard before other than it could be carried in the half cock but not advised. I carried a 1911 off and on for 19 years and qualified with a 1911 for 18 of my 20 years in the Marine Corp from 1968 to 1988 shooting the GI Govt like he had. The last year was with the M109 Beretta in 9 mm and my last expert badge was with it. I managed to pull out 10 expert on qualifications with the 45 in my latter years.I have built several match grade 1911’s when I was younger out of the same receivers that your Govt pistol. I own 5 currently and I also don’t have the money that you spent on a low end one but with careful hand loading they shoot ( not Run) really well. I could only watch about 13 min of your video than went to another video. Stay safe and have a good one.

I'm sorry but people want to be hold more rounds, eight rounds isnt enough and cheaper to buy. I know way too many normies and gun people that won't spend a handgun past 1200 an that's me being generous.

Being 74 years old and raised in the San Fernando Valley, my Dad worked up at Santa Susana test facility. When I was 15 years old he asked if I could shoot with their Pistol Team. They said YES and I was able to shoot with them for 5 years. I had to have a 45 1911 which was loaded to me and I bought the Ruger bull barrel 22 caliber semi automatic, as I got some more money I bought the Colt Combat Commander and had the trigger and target sights put on it. Back in those days if you were 18 years old you could buy any gun or ammo you wanted. I inherited a Gold Cup 45 which was set up by the Colt’s gunsmith shop . I bought the Springfield Armory version of the standard issue. And the S&W copy of the 1911 with crimson light in the left hand grip. As far as 22 goes I bought a used Colt Woodsman Match, and have two High Standard Supermatic pistols. I was given an ammo box full of 1911 parts whose father was the Gunsmith for the Army’s pistol team.

I started out with a .22 1911 to learn the ins and outs of the 1911. I taught my grandson how to shoot it and it replaced my Ruger 10/22 as his favorite gun. A year later I bought a Tisas 1911 in .45 ACP because it was about all I could afford on a fixed income. My grandson fired one mag through it. The first thing he said was "It's loud". He's a good shooter. Better than I am. I alternate shooting between the 2 1911's. The .22 one week and the .45 ACP the next week. The only mods I've done is putting compensator on both pistols. Happy shooting!

I'm kinda surprised (yet not really surprised) that Eli's "beater" gun isn't the Hi-Cap, because at least on IG it seems like that's the one (or Top 3 at least) that he has the most rounds through, but then I remembered the part where since he works for Alchemy he was only allowed to mention one of their guns, lol. The Ed Brown is still badass, though. When I was first getting into guns, Ed Brown was like my grail 1911. That was, until I discovered what Cabot Guns and Alchemy Custom Weaponry are. Especially Cabot, since they have their "Southpaw" line of full-custom left-handed guns. I'm wrong-handed like Jake and I REALLY want a Southpaw. One day...
@1776_duck 8 ай бұрын
It would’ve been hard for me to not have an ACW for at least three of the categories. I probably would’ve kept the NHC/Colt and Remington Rand, though. You’re right, the HiCap is absolutely the gun I beat up the most, though.

I've got a Colt Rail Gun wth a Romeo1 Pro, and a Streamlight TLS-10G. It checks everything on this list besides the Classic, but actually, in a way it does. Instead of the flat polymer mainspring housing it came with, it now has my great-grandfather's all-steel WWI 1911 arched mainspring housing installed in it, so in a way... (He was an artilleryman with the 321st Field Artllery Regiment, 82nd All-American Division, and he was shot in the holster when he was running a message. It busted up his frame, but he kept the parts that weren't junk hoping he might find a donor frame to rebuild it on and take home with him. He was injured in a mustard gas attack before he found the frame he needed, but he had sent his parts home so they sat in a cigar box in his basement for decades until my grandmother gave it all to me. So now, my great granddaddy's war gun is back in action. One gun, five boxes ticked.
