True story! My dad was given a singer 1911 in 1995 as payment for 4 chords of firewood! We stopped at the gun store on the way home to sell it and the cashier had never heard of it b4! On the way out of the store an affluent looking gentleman stopped my dad and educated him on what he was holding. Two weeks later that gentleman came to the house and paid my dad $20,000 in cash to buy it! My dad went back to the old lady that had given it to him and tried to give her $5000 she would not let him. We instead never charged her for firewood from that day on!

I can attest that the government is definitely looking for the cheapest and fastest to hire. I worked for an electric company that was subcontracted through the government and we made things like Humvee wire harnesses and tank auxiliary cables along with other things (those two stuck out the most). Boy let me tell you, as long as the work was done half assed on time then they didn't care who did it. We had 4 recovering meth addicts, 1 "recovered" meth addicts and probably half the work force or more at least smoked pot and many on the job.

My dad, who lives in Indiana, came down for my my nephew's birthday this past weekend, and I was talking to him about Demo's videos. He told me he actually knows all three of the guys who were in the Gyrojet video and has smoked cigars with Joel on multiple occasions at the cigar shop he's a member at. We talked about Joel's collectible 1911s and other super rare firearms, and then I just came across this video. It's crazy how small the world can be. Apparently, Joel is a super down to earth, nice guy

Most if not all of the true G.I. style 1911's exhibit that vertical ejection pattern. This is due to the lack of a lowered/flared ejection port and the older government shaped ejectors that kick the brass up rather than to the side. Beautiful pistols and love to see these shot but I have to look away when the slides are snapped on an empty chamber 😵💫

@@skynetlabs On most modern firearms and striker-fire you are correct, however the 1911 is different and older in design that without a round to slow down the slide velocity while feeding from the mag, the hammer and sear engagement surfaces take the brunt of the force when it snaps into battery. Not to mention these specific pistols were made in a time when metalurgy and heat treating were not to current day standards and not uncommon to see cracked slides and peened over slide stop notches. Overtime this type of use will ruin expensive trigger jobs and if continued can lead to other issues like hammer follow and broken notches. Ive personally seen this many times in both competition and in my time building/fitting others 1911's.

The coolest 1911s in the world, are the Norwegian "lunch-box Colts" - Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk made licensed copies of the 1911 before the war, then when Germany occupied Norway, production was forced to continue. The workers in the factory smugled out pistols in parts in their lunch boxes and gave them to the Norwegian resistance. These guns have no markings or serial numbers but are such an incredible part of Norwegian history.

The fact there’s a deactivated singer 1911 sat in a surplus store near where I live in the uk is kinda sad the paper work on it said it was found in a storage unit back in 2002, apparently the original owner had bought it when he lived in the us at an auction for 15k and then moved to the uk which is when he had it deactivated and turned into a show piece it has a certificate to prove it’s deactivated and is now just a glorified collector’s piece

There is nothing wrong with Canadian firearms. As an infantry soldier in the CAF, i can assure you that we have amazing weapon systems. Me and an American soldier tried eachothers rifles and we both agreed the C7A2 and C8A3 is better than theirs, but it alsocomes down to perspective i guess. Plus we also just got new P320s
