  • The New Century Arms Centurion 11 in 45 ACP is a 1911 handgun that follows the basic G.I. Model issued by the US Military from 1911 until 1985. The best part is, it's very affordable. Big thanks to ‪@centuryarms‬ for their partnership.
    Big thanks to Fiocchi USA for Supplying our ammunition! ‪@FiocchiUSA‬

    1911 is an iconic pistol. My father is a retired military man. We taught for basic and practical shooting. However, my dad sell this gun and invested in a little business and his in heaven already. Still misses this gun.! Stay safe everyone. Have a blessed day ahead.

    Thanks for the reminder. This looks exactly like the WW2 vintage 1911 that I carried on patrols of the Trust Territories of the Pacific in the mid-1960s, on the Island of Guam, the Philippines and in Vietnam.

    @1funcar Před 18 dny +2

    It's nice to see an affordable 1911. Okay, it doesn't have all the bells & whistles of a Kimber or an Ed Brown but not everyone needs that. If it's reliable, robust and reasonably accurate it will definitely work if the operator does their part. If necessary, get a tune-up on the trigger and you've got a proven platform without spending a ton of money. Well done, Sootch!

    @Sman7290 Před 18 dny +2

    That's certainly NOT a WW1 1911. It's the 1911A1 variant that has a shorter hammer to reduce hammer bite, curved main spring housing, and scallop cuts behind the trigger to shorten the reach and allow you to get your finger into the trigger easier.

  • @Lostinthesand
    @Lostinthesand Před 14 dny +1

    The Turkish made 1911s that I own and have handled, are amazing reliability for the price. The ones I have used have no malfunctions so far. I like the "Battle Field" configurations due to the simplistic design which they followed in remaking them.

  • @Lostinthesand
    @Lostinthesand Před 14 dny +1

    Additional thought for the video. Trigger pull. On the Glock and some Police Pistols, Agencies required a heavy trigger pull on the Service weapons. New York City had a much more heavy tigger pull on its Glock Firearms. As to the 1911, personally, the weight of the trigger pull for a single action or a striker type action is resolved with a crisp trigger release. Not so much the weight but the actuation of the sear. But again, it is me.

    If the trigger is too stiff, buy you some snap caps and snap it about 200 times and the trigger will get better and you will not waste any ammo or hurt your gun in any manner.

    Squeezing the trigger isn't a part of 1911 disassembly - especially when you're just going to rack the slide (recocking the hammer) to get it to the SS removal position anyway! It's not only unnecessary, but counterproductive because it adds the mainspring's resistance to slide retraction.

    1911 is one of the best designed guns ever, they are bombproof, all steel or you can get the aluminum frame versions (or even some plastic frame versions), endless amounts of aftermarket parts and support and you can get them in everything from 22 lr, 380, 9mm, 40, 45, 10mm and beyond...everyone should have one, it is a very safe pistol to carry and tends to be the choice of experts, due to the accuracy, tunability and unique, easy to operate trigger. The 45 cartridge is very hard to beat for on target performance, especially if you know how to tune a 1911 to shoot hp's, then you can use hst's or other 45 auto rounds that open to an inch and penetrate deep...basically a 12 gauge slug in a handgun, and that's no joke.
    These 1911's coming out of Turkey and the Philippines are really nice and are one of the best deals for the dollar you can spend.

    Century has a history of mangling their imports and also building their domestic guns to substandard quality. Why would we trust them with a 1911? What makes this better than a Tisas or Rock Island? These cheap Turkish knockoffs are flooding the market and I'm not impressed.
