What is best for a LW with aluminum ramp?

Wonder how hardball does...

Bla bla bla get on with it

45 God's caliber

Ok SNOWFLAKE!

Would you say the 10mm silvertips are good for self defense? I ask because you mentioned it at the end.

1911’s are smooth once the wear in, they have a Cadillac recoil and their weight is beautiful in the recoil department. The simple design makes them easy to stay in milspec line when being produced by numerous manufacturers.

I guess you need a paper hand gun.

This guy is unwatchable...

Tokarev trigger is just as good as a 1911

If you pull the hammer back hard enough it engages the grip safety (on mine it will, which i like actually) that being said, tokarev is a better pistol than any pistol

I’ve noticed, the only thing I hate about all of my hobbies, are the other enthusiasts online personalities in comment sections. I even usually agree with their position. But they’re just horrible people when they’re on the internet. Never seem to run into those types in real life tho.

John Browning's 1911 is the best 45 caliber auto hand gun ever made, and everyone bases their design off of it. The original 1911 well deserves the respects it is owed.

I like a 300 Win mag

Great video! I just ordered the Springfield Ronen .45 and this is all great information. Love the humor too! Thanks!

wqowoooyyyyy

USED THEM FOR 20 YRS IN THE NAVY RETIRED IN 1984 NOW I HAVE 2 IN .45 AND A MICRO 9MM IN 1911 DESIGN AND 1 IN .22. GUESS I'M A LITTLE OLD-SCHOOL BUT I'M GETTING BETTER

TOO WHIRLED WARZ bucko

I want to know what time it is, not how to build a watch!

No front serration?

WHAT HAPPENED TO CASPIAN, P-14 & OTHER HIGH CAPACITY COMPATION WIDE BODY .45 ACP.??? 🇺🇸

Over 100 year old design and your comparing it to a Glock SHAME on you...

The 1911 is the best the weight makes it more reliable for accuracy.

I can tell you we live on wild game deer,turkey ,squirrel. And bear. I've taken moose and caribou with my 94 30-30 also. And what's very nice. It's amazing accurate with home made hard cast lead. 180 grn. Those loads have went completely through a Alaskan bull moose and black bears.

I can give you my 3 guns. My winchester 94 3030, winchester 9422 22 lr . And my moss berg 500 410. And my 357 mag ruger security 6 4 ". 😊

This guy is a knucklehead. Not a gun guy. The 1911 is the gun for men. I carried one for years while on the Army. Carried one as my concealed carry. This video is so bad.

The 1911 is NOT left hand shooter friendly!! NOTHING on the 1911 is ambidextrious. Oh sure, there are some aftermarket bandaids such as add-on right side safety levers, but in order to eject a spent magazine you still have to switch hands, reload, and then switch back, or reach under the weapon with your non-shooting hand and fumble around for the magazine release when you should be reaching for a fresh magazine. In a defensive situation, this is just too much time wasted, Speaking of wasted time, no matter how you carry your 1911, when you draw it, you have to do SOMETHING to the weapon to make it function. If you carry it with an empty chamber (like everyone on TV apparently does) you need to rack a round into the chamber), OR fully cock the hammer if carried in half-cock status, OR flick the thumb safety off if carried in "cocked and locked" configuration. Apparently we lefties are a recent innovation which didn't exist in the John Browning era.

In the late 70s, in San Fran, I bought a Gold Cup, but wasn't allowed to have it for 2 weeks (their stupid wait laws). I was leaving for Houston to live, leaving "it" all behind; I only was there for a year, ample time to 'know' better. I have always been a reloader, so I needed to pick up the brass. But, that gun NEVER put the brass in the same place! It scattered it everywhere! And, the only 'accuracy' I ever enjoyed, was when "I" held the pistol exactly the same for every shot, same tightness, same sight picture, same space between shots and the like. It was never meant to be a tack-driver, for sure. I spent a lot of $$ on the reloading dies and the rest for that gun- (I always bought the best stuff for the job). Needless to say, it didn't last long in my collection. I had many better guns that actually WERE match shooters, right out of the box. But it was big and shiny and had a big bore, and a big recoil--all stuff that does not matter to me these days-- "I" like a more reasonable recoil, and shot follow-up, not scattered brass, less expensive to shoot, high capacity mags, target sights, with lugs for attachments like a red dot or laser or light, etc. But if I wanted it for some other good reason, Though it's heavy, it would be ok--if "I" wasn't gonna conceal it. It was fun but now I'm over it; don't remember if I lost any $$ on the deal..............

Sorry

A gun that has been around for a hundred years should have been well covered in all those magazines you read

Just snother civy whinning about weight

You can also talk to Hammer and then put the safety on and you can carry it.

I trained with the 1911. Solid, reliable, accurate

I even have a sw model 659 i love them both

Best semi pistol ever made

If you dont like it quit bitching about it !!!!!

I've owned and carried many guns in my time as a reserve law enforcement officer and a courier for an armored car company. Weight was never really a factor for me but I was carrying open not concealed. I was originally allowed to carry anything I could qualify with as long as it was in a military or police caliber. Among the various guns I carried were the Security Six my rookie year, followed by Makaroves when I was driving the armored car, and then the S&W model 15, 1911, Polish Radom, and Browning Hi Power. When the company told us we could no longer carry single-action semiautos I tried the S&W M&P semi-auto, Glock, and for the last month before I retired I carried a Webley MkVI. Of all of them, my favorite was and still is the Browning Hi Power. A word of warning to anyone who carries a semi-auto and moves around a lot. I was in and out of the armored truck all day long. Not to mention loading ATM's and picking up and delivering coin to banks. Ambi safeties can and in my case will be brushed off against doors, walls, and equipment. If you're right handed just don't add an Ambi safety. If you're a lefty like me, I found the safety off on my 1911 several times a day and got into the habit of checking it every time I got back in the truck. Finally, I ground the lever off the left side of the gun and solved the problem.

I carried a 1911 for a year in Nam. I was very familiar with them from an early age, around ten or eleven. With the safety off, I kept my 1911 in my holster, one in the pipe, with the safety off. In combat situations, you don't need to worry about, if it will shoot or not. You have to factor in adrenaline if you are discussing carrying for protection.

The wife and I carry 1911s, won't change.

Please hand the title to 3 Fud guns

If skin does indeed equate to 2-4" of gel penetration and you assume 3" of biceps muscle (which is denser than gel) wouldn't it require between 10-16" of gel penetration just to account for pentration of skin and biceps? I think I see why the IWBA was moving toward increased penetration standard before being disbanded.

talk...tal...ta.......

Sorry to say it this way. Maybe you should have done your research before your purchase. A Good gun shop will answer questions if you ask them.

If you were never a Cav Soldier you wouldn’t have a clue

In Navy basic training we were using the 1911, they looked old and didn't feature the grip safety.

SA is the top production 1911s out there. Now send it back for upgrades like Magwell night sights and front checkering so you can keep your life time warranty

With all the editing and errors, I thought I was listening to Joe Biden for a minute.

You guys keep forgetting a 45acp doesn't need to expand to be effective...if it does its just icing on the cake...the 45acp legend was born with a 230 grain ball round at or around 830 fps...it's effective...anything better is just that! 45acp doesn't need +p or trick bullets

Would like to know what pength of barell it was shot out of. 230 gr 45s have always been right on the razors edge of expansion velocity. They really need the full length barell and even then sometimes they dont have enough velocity. My go to in 45 230 gr are Winchester ranger t +p and federal hst. Lucky gunner has the best gel testing of 50 different 45 loads on their website. 5 shots each and slow motion with velocity and expansion data. Thats where i go whenever i consider a new round for carry. The hst and ranger t both expand to 1" even ahot out of 3.5" barells.
