I own one these. It was my brothers before he passed away. Internally, tricked out with Wilson combat parts. Hogue rubber grips. RIP bro and my parents!
I open carry here in North Carolina, have for over 40 years. I do conceal carry a S&W .357 AirLite PD revolver as a backup. To answer you question I carry cocked, locked and ready to rock with "safety on". Thanks
Thanks! I knew there's a reason I will NEVER get rid of my Mark IV. I carried a 1911 in the military police in 1966-1969. But the most painful thing is when we fired it on the range in the prone position with no ear protection. That sound travels right up your arms to the ears. And we shot several times that way for several days too. Guys can praise the 9 all they want and diss the 45 but it's here to stay and I won't switch.
Beautifull gun!! Thanks for the memories my dad had one stolen in 1992 family friend....colt 45 1911 government model!!kinda sad to think about it but lookin forward to buying a brand new one just for him still alive and tickin strong even after a heart attack thanks for the vid!!!!
My dad had his guns stolen around Christmas I know the feeling it was awful! Someone climber I up in the window while we were at the store for like 30 mins if we would have just been back a little sooner things would be different! I hope life is treating you well and your pops god bless 🇺🇸
Been so busy at work and trying to get my taxes finished on time just haven't had time to order them but I will tomorrow, thanks for reminding me. I feel you pain on the 10mm 1911, been looking to get a few more myself, love the 10mm pistols. Thanks for watching the old man and taking the time to comment. God Bless You Sir..
Beautiful pistol. I have a Colt Series 80 in 38 Super that's polished stainless, but it's in the GI style. I have an Enhanced Model too similar to yours but it's blued. Looks like you got the best of both worlds with yours.
Made me LOL on that one and yes I was getting into that pretty good. Just had to respond to this, needed a good laugh this afternoon. Thanks and have a great weekend my friend.
Big daddy, I just got MKIV series 80 stainless like yours. Mine is not as pretty as yours but like you I am lovin it! I really like your videos! Keep up the good work! Thank you!!!
Nice video. Love your shooting range! I have the same model but mine has the matte finish. I bought in in the early 90's. I would never part with it. I carried the standard size model in the Marines and wondered if the shorter barrel would be less accurate. Not an issue. After all these years and thousands of rounds, it is still a tack driver. Though I have many other pistols, this one is my EDC. I think I may even be buried with it. Much respect.
Beautiful. I also have the model in stainless, not polished, with the military sights. Might just polish it up after seeing yours so pretty. Mine is also very tight, and still has the collet barrel bushing. Nice shooting!
Hey big daddy, i have a question, do you like machine guns like M4's or AK-47's or are they really expensive to buy or do just like shotguns and pistols and revolvers.
nice one for sure Big Daddy. are yall planning a shootout at the compound this year? just curious. be cool to watch if you did a video of it. take care.
Let me be the first to say that's one very pretty 1911.Back in 1989 I purchased a brand new 1911 Delta Elite series 80 in 10mm.Like a dummy,I sold it years later.It looks almost like yours,except that it had the combat rubberized grips on it.It had a double spring system in it to accomadate the hot new 10mm at that time.Enjoy your new toy!!.And GOD bless.Another very interesting video.Hey,by the way,were you able to get those .22 rimfire tracers from that supplier that I told you about??.
Hello. I don’t like the beavertail on this (too low for hand placement). Is there any way to replace with a quality high ride beavertail? Is it possible? Can you please recommend one? Thank you very much.
i forget to put my ears on too sometimes, i do the same thing you did, after the first shot i remember lol. sweet shootin gun looks like. cool video!!! you da man
I have a couple of these, but carry a Glock 23 but it is so wide. How do you conceal carry one of these? Let the hammer down and pull back to the first notch, or just put the safety on?
@bigdaddyhoffman1911. Sir that sure is one sweet pistol you have there. I just recently found your channel and subscribed and am going back and watching all of your videos. So excited to have found you! Awesome range and you have some spectacular firearms. Thanks so much for taking your time to make these awesome videos for everyone in the shooting community to enjoy! Carry on sir!
It is Sweet is it nickel plated or Stainless Steel highly polished? Nice grips too. Nice setup with your Steel also. Good video and enjoy your love for Colts !!!
I do have a video up called "Sig Sauer P226R Equinox .40 Caliber Pistol" but don't have one in 9mm. Thanks for watching and all you support. Have a good night or morning..LOL.
Man oh man, that is one damn beautiful 1911. Nice shootin too. Just ordered my first 1911 about 4 weeks ago. Still waiting on the damn thing to get here! haha
Sweet! I like the looks of that pistol! I can't understand the 2 dislikes I see up there. They must be jealous. I can see why, Big Daddy is having too much fun and they feel left out. But I have to tell these "haters" what you always say... Don't hate... instead... "Git you some"! Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! :0)
That is one beautiful piece of kit, as the Brits say. I have an opportunity at this very moment to grab one identical to it, but with beautiful wood grips vs stag. I am calculating how much jewelry the wife will require in order for me to add this bad boy to my collection.
Don't have any full auto's "YET" but have five class three permits for my suppressors. I own and shoot anything from a .17 to 50 caliber pistols and rifles, just haven't shown them all but I will one of these days God willing. With two hundred and thirty some videos uploaded, really not sure what all I've shown....LOL. I will say this....Love me some AK-47's, have a couple videos on them showing the slide fire stock. Thanks Friend.
I don't blame you not wanting to sell it. If I had a gun that was that beautiful, I would not want to part with it either. I have to say though, I do have one concern about the gun. dropping that slide forward like you were doing in the video, or a prolonged. Of time will cause internal damage to it. And you and I both know that gun is just too awesome to mess up. Just a thought my friend someone gun owner to another. I love 1911, they are my favorite firearm. I have several myself.
Im left handed -pistols arnt bad but the shot guns always get right shoulder. I hear ya there - i ripped myself open picking up an air conditioner last week ( hernia ) ya get old and ya fall apart , have a great night man
I own one these. It was my brothers before he passed away. Internally, tricked out with Wilson combat parts. Hogue rubber grips. RIP bro and my parents!

Beautiful pistol. I have a Colt Series 80 in 38 Super that's polished stainless, but it's in the GI style. I have an Enhanced Model too similar to yours but it's blued. Looks like you got the best of both worlds with yours.
Very nice pistol! I just purchased my first Colt Series 80 National Match Gold Cup Enhanced in bright stainless from 1996. Can’t wait to shoot it.
they can make a lot of pistols but none is gonna be so gorgeous as the 1911
Beautiful Colt. I'm happy to see that it doesn't pain you to shoot something so beautiful! Thanks for the video.

Thanks my friend, have a great evening or morning now...LOL. Gotta get to bed, 6:00am will be here before we know it.
Big daddy, I just got MKIV series 80 stainless like yours. Mine is not as pretty as yours but like you I am lovin it! I really like your videos! Keep up the good work! Thank you!!!
Don't know why but shooting never makes me sore, not even the shotguns. It's just my other health problems that bother me. Thanks Friend
No pain at all, not going to leave it for someone else to shoot and maybe not appreciate it like I do. Thanks my friend.
Thanks
1911 + BDH = WIN! That Colt is absolutely GORGEOUS!
That thing is so shiny you could use it as a flashlight! Beautiful piece! -That's what she said!

That 1911 is gorgeous. Have fun with it!
Super nice 1911. I can't wait till I get a 1911.

Nice video. Love your shooting range! I have the same model but mine has the matte finish. I bought in in the early 90's. I would never part with it.

Sweet Colt 1911 pie for sure....LOL. Thanks
That is a gorgeous gun. Sad about the guy who died, but at least the gun has a good home!!!
Knew this was big DH before the video started
You should make a video of your top 5 1911's you like and you own...that 1911 with a golden eagle is my favorite.
Abraham Baltazar Great video idea, I'll do that soon......Thanks
thats a really good looking gun
Good shooting Pard
I need to get me some of that.Nice 1911.
Sweet! I like the looks of that pistol! I can't understand the 2 dislikes I see up there. They must be jealous. I can see why, Big Daddy is having too much fun and they feel left out. But I have to tell these "haters" what you always say... Don't hate... instead... "Git you some"! Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! :0)
very nice 1911..
What a nice gun.
Did it come with a grill?
Can you buy them polished?
Such a beauty!
"Can't beat a 1911." Sure wish you could tell that to the NRA gun competition LOL. Gotta agree with you always loved Colt's designs and always will!
Bigdaddy,do you reload at all?.I see you with alot of the factory stuff.I know it is a time consuming process.But,a whole lot cheaper to shoot.
That is one beautiful piece of kit, as the Brits say. I have an opportunity at this very moment to grab one identical to it, but with beautiful wood grips vs stag. I am calculating how much jewelry the wife will require in order for me to add this bad boy to my collection.
VERY GOOD I LOVE
I WANT COLT COMBAT
COMMANDER STAINLESS

38 super, not very popular among white folks but a great caliber nonetheless!!
Hi cameraman here @ :15 owe my knee cap owe owe owe!!!

one sexy pistol man, its a legend to boot
Don't have any full auto's "YET" but have five class three permits for my suppressors.

Thanks Friend.
Oh God I am in love !
And did you ever have feeding issues running hallow points through 1911's? Thanks!
Yes I have and not just 1911's. Its pretty common for semi-auto pistols to be ammo sensitive when it comes to hollow points. Thanks!
Drooling!
Sweet shooter!!
You got a good one there BDH :)
Dead man's gun!

That's a myth you can slam forward it no problem.

Nice colt Great video
