Easily one of my favourite weapons

Fun Fact: One of the serious other handguns that matched the 1911 up to the final stages of the test trials was the Savage 1907 in 45. Very cool handgun.

Wouldn’t have needed a grip and manual safety if there was a rule for keeping your finger off the trigger…oh wait, there was…

Sixth fun fact: sewing machine company Singer made a 1911 so good that it outdid Colt. One recently went for $414,000 at auction, one of the highest prices for a handgun.

One of the best Anti-Furry video, you got like

Arguably still the best semiauto pistol even more than a century later. The Springfield Ronin EMP pistols show how the 1911 remains a contender even in the current Wonder Nine era.

Why would 38-56 wcf even be acknowledged ? What about 45-90 & 50-110 ??

God carries a 1911.

If a third world conflict ever struck and America reinstated the draft, I’d request the 1911 over any other sidearm, such as a Glock…

For the longest time growing up I thought Tom hanks killed that tank with a .45 wasn't until I watched it again recently that I realized the fighter planes showed up in time and plane is what blew up the tank

One of the most elegant weapons of all time

WW1 bankrupted Marlin, Stevens & Winchester. Those brands continued on but under new ownership & management.

Mr. Remington walked from Suffield, Ct to Ilion, NY as a young man.

Never used the 1911, but used the Hi-Power. You could really appreciate how it was built and how solid it felt. Even with its disadvantages regarding stowage, I’d still be as happy with it as a glock.

i love the 1911 and i own several of them but i highly doubt it fired 6k rounds without a malfunction.

At 31:19 why are they moaning so much

My dad and grandpa carried this weapon in service to an ungrateful nation and people.

Without single malfunction

Also the only pistol to down a fucking airplane 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Still have my 1979 Star BM 9mm Par. Only regeet is not buying the alloy product - the steel is uncomfortuble heavy but still my baby. Could also never understand why so many pistols looked the same....but when I learned about the 1911 the sun did rise. Remains a beautiful pistol regardsless of todays products.

Nice

A machine that is under-engineered overly durable is a great machine. Browning is up there with the best when it comes to such firearms. And Kalishnakov as well I guess (I think I read he was inspired by Browning and had illicitly obtained a Browning gun when he was a kid?)

Tom Hanks’s 1911 spawned a p51 mustang

The 1911 is so iconic that even in new cod games that actually have the gun dont change its name unlike all the other cod guns

God made the man, but cold make them equals

The gun of choice of Dean Winchester

Its also the only handgun credited with shooting down an enemy aircraft

If only the Bigot became a military service weapon... 😂

❤ ❤❤❤ DRAKO M.K.

ok my 1911 is overheated *a bucket spaawns* oh nvm

The colt 1911 was only available in .45 cal

Was that a nipple

So what is the reason for the cheese, what's in it, Is it the hormones that make the average female breast size before cheese and dairy surplus go from a full B to a now full C cup size, That's actually a statistical fact I saw somewhere, I'm actually very grateful for the government do that, probably the best we'll spent government plans that benefited all men everywhere and women, I mean it's a win win all the way around, Could they Maybe modify it to be able to increase it to full D while still retaining perkyness , if they can't manufacture the hormones to increase and retain perkyness, Then we the people appreciate retaining perky at a C don't wanna get greedy and end up with big messy floppies not appealing

Guy at the bar: You wanna play darts? Me: * Unholsters 1911 *

The chosen weapon of Joshua Graham.. the burned man lives..

I only know of 3 coworkers that own guns. They all have 1911s.

Yeah yeah but show me a full auto 1911

Sometimes tankies forget that the mosin was developed during the Tsarist regime, thus having no relations to communists in its design

You can dip anything that's overheating in water. Don't mean it'll work right afterwards

Best hand gun ever made

It's also Sally in BO1... IYKYK.

My first gun is a Charles Daily 1911 .45 I took it to the range and popped 400ish rounds and it felt great to shoot. The recoil is very low and the grip is the perfect size for my hands cause I'm 6'2 I guess? I Also bought a compact 9mil and it kinda sucks with my hands and long fingers and being tall and thin it's hard to CC so I have to appendix carry to hide the gun profile and sitting for a long time in certain chairs kinda hurts. I do love Kimber guns and I've heard there a lot of hate but they did make my love for the 1911 even stronger.

Why did the army stop using it?

"every continent" Those guards in antartica:

Now is Cz Colt 1911

Best pistol in the world.

A sidearm with nothing to prove.

Not to mention this guy also made the m2 browning machine gun which is still in service to this day

Every continent does indeed include Antarctica

Utah is now a little bit cooler in my eyes
