Memories! In 68 I carried a wore out Remington Rand with 7 mags in NAM.. Our M-16's were jamming at an alarming rate due to chambers that were rough and not chromed; dirty ball powder, not knowing how to lube it, and the fact we fired "full auto" for extended periods didn't help matters either. The .45 was great for my confidence since I had no desire to go up against an enemy armed only with a knife. 1 in the chamber, hammer back, and safety off was the way I carried it; army protocol was dumb since, if wounded, the unloaded pistol's slide probably couldn't be racked! EXCELLENT VIDEO!!

My favorite feature of the 1911 is how it is easy and rewarding to tune for accuracy and reliability with the barrel bushing, barrel link, controls, and trigger with readily available parts and upgrades. Another good feature is that the same 230gr FMJ ball round used for practice is also a great reliable, controllable, man-stopping self-defense round. With 9mm, people's practice ammo is usually different from their carry ammo, which is kinda ridiculous if you think about it.

Absolutely! Truth be told, the 45 ACP has moderate and gentle recoil. The myth that still lives on to this day in some circles that the .45 has a heavy recoil originated back around WW2 when the pistol training standards were pretty mediocre. They we're taught pistol shooting using pretty awkward positions. And with that, the .45 1911 went with a reputation among lots of GIs as an uncontrollable and inaccurate pistol. Heck, even I used to fall for that myth, but then I learned proper gripping and recoil control. And for people who think the .45 ACP has a much bigger recoil than the 9mm, they're actually quite similar in recoil. Muzzle energy levels are very comparable. Both recoil moderately and gently. The only big difference is that the 9mm has a much faster and snappier kick due to it's higher velocity and pressure, the .45 has a much slower kick due to it's lower velocity and pressure which can give the illusion that it has much more recoil than the 9mm.

@igor šajinović The Beretta 92 has the barrel way higher above the hand than the 1911 and even though it shoots the little 9mm round the recoil is more unpleasant than the 1911, with a lpt more muzzle rise..... You are right. the 1911 design is far better. If one really needs more capacity, then a 1911 in .38 Super will do the bizzo... :-)

I also own a DA/SA FN FNX .45 and a HK VP9 but my preferred pistol of choice is a well tuned 1911 in God's caliber, 45 ACP. I'm a Fudd so you can have all the fancy plastic pistols you got the hots for, fancy unproven calibers like the .30 Super Carry, I'll just stick to my all steel 1911. I sleep well at night with my SA Operator loaded with 230 grains +P JHP and a Streamlight TLR-1 1,000 lumen light mounted.

Don’t quote me on this but I believe there were some studies done, especially after Vietnam that showed the amount of rounds used in comparison to the amount of confirmed kills. You know “if we carry more bullets in our pistols we’ll get more hits” theory. Having been in the Army and only having a Berretta, it holds a special place in my heart, just like some of those older troops have a weak spot for the 45. Both are good side arms, just different schools of thought. Keep up the great videos.

I could not agree more. I was in the service back when they discontinued using the 45 and before they adopted the 9mm. They took away are old 45s and gave us S&W 38 revolvers while they were evaluating the 9mm. We used to joke that the 38 round would come out of the barrel and fall on the ground. We were all really pissed, we really loved our old 45s. Long live the republic.

I am talking a bag of bits! The guy I'm working says "no problem, come back in an hour" When he'd gone I said "Oh, so you know how to put this back together again then?" (wait for it) "NOPE" came the response... "But your good with your hands, you'll figure it out..." It did take me about 20 minutes, but I got that gorgeous old piece back together!

In regards to your comment about GI's complaining about the recoil- It was not GI Men, it was women. Women were issued S&W Model 10 38's, because they couldn't handle the .45 ACP. So, they felt left out since they had to carry revolvers. During the ongoing feminization of our military, the government decided to go to a standard sidearm that everyone could handle. Hence the 9mm. So the women could feel equal, and better about themselves. Anyone that wants to argue that fact, can go argue with a wall. That is exactly what was going on, while I was in during that time. The men did not want to get rid of the 1911, they just wanted new ones. The entire inventory was built during WWII, and they were shot out. They needed to be replaced- BY NEW 1911s!

Solemolester001 Okay... Ghosts is fun. But the 1911 hasn't been in cod online since Cod W.A.W. I think.

That's right dude! The idea that the .45 has a big heavy recoil originated from GIs during around WW2. Back then, they were taught to shoot handguns using pretty awkward positions, therefore resulting in a lot of muzzle flip. With that, the 1911 .45 went with a reputation as an uncontrollable, inaccurate pistol. Thanks to Jeff Cooper and the Modern Technique where you grip em high and ride the safety, muzzle flip is minimized. Watching some of the old WW2 training films, some GIs apparently figured out those secrets for themselves.

I tried to love the 1911. I still enjoy them as a range toy, but I don't think it can compare to the Beretta for practical use. Now, the Hi Power.... That's a beautiful design.

Muy cierto. Yo tengo una colt Goverment 1911 45 ACP, Pero también amo mi vieja Beretta 92 F que no la cambio por nada

Tengo un Colt flamante. Con solo 25 tiros, que hice al probar los 5 cargadores que tengo. Pienso venderla hasta que abro la caja azul. Jajaja luego de repasarla, vuelve a la caja y me paro inflando el pecho y recordando lo que significa tenerla. Dios hizo a todos los hombres distintos. COLT los hizo iguales para combatir...❤

I have a Remington 1911 R1. I carry it either cocked and locked, or with a chambered round and the hammer down. The original hammer was meant for easy manual decocking.

I taught the Glock (G23/23) for many years at an academy range for law enforcement personnel. It is a fine gun to shoot and teach, but I still feel that the best combat handgun is the 1911-series. I have a .45 Springfield Armory M1911A1 and a .45 Colt Officer's ACP. I will carry either in concealed carry with no problem. If you want to carry one, then get "hardwired to the 1911" first through training in it's safe operation.

By far I believe this M1911 is a classic. Very solid.
