No fancy stuff such as optic-ready slide, spring guide built-in laser sight, or even railed frame. Just a good trigger, good sights, good looking good reliability and good accuracy.
What a legendary firearm 1911 is.
Needs a rail so I can mount my olights
@@mengx94 I understand that too!!!
Cheap 1911's dont have the hours put in to make them reliable, it takes many hours to make a great " classic" 1911, and many dollars gor those hours? I had a Colt Officers jam in a shootout , not all 1911's are reliable? I have plain 1911's, and my latest is " fancy" if you want to call great features fancy?
@@TheBandit59 officers model is why it was unreliable. The shortest barrel length that can be reliable is 4 3/4. Keep the 1911's The way they were designed and the function reliable. My first 1911 was from Springfield came in a cardboard box plastic grips parkereized and the itty bitty sights. I never had a jam or malfunction of any kind
@@biggunshandguns3687 your absolutely right! I didnt know anything about 1911's then. Ive found the longer the slide , the reliability goes up expedentially. My Night Hawk Carry Plus, which is in .45, has bedn ultra reliable. It has a 3.8" barrell, but the main spring is so string, I have problems putting it back together because of my severe authritis. Thanks for the feedback. Donn
Love the clean traditional look. Couldn't agree more. ..45 is what the 1911 was made for. No 9mm
A 1911 in 9mm is like an American warrior speaking german...
2011s are amazing pistols. Single stacks aren't for everyone.
Springfield makes a great 1911 built around 9mm
If you want a classic 9mm then get the SA 35!
They should have never made no other caliber but 45 in a 1911. If you can’t handle a 45 then don’t
Springfield nailed it with this one. All the stuff I want, nothing extra fussy. Great price, too.
I have a Glock 21 and I've been thinking about adding a 1911 to my collection...I think I found which one I'm going to be buying.
I bought one yesterday I don’t regret it a bit the SA garrison is now my favorite handgun I own
@@Chase_01 Awesome guns...Can't wait to get my hands on one....Patience is a virtue lol!!
And it's one of the Best CCW 1911s too
Recommend looking at Bul Armory for better quality and features for the same or lower price.
I’ve had my garrison for a few months, zero failures, absolutely love it, well balanced, clean, simple, perfectly fitted slide, Never getting rid of it.
First pistol I ever fired at the age of 15 was the Colt Commander 1911 and I've loved the 45 cal 1911 ever since. It's an American icon that has stood the test of time.
I have had my Springfield for 20 years countless rounds never a failure I love mine
This is never true. Never
@@Helibeaver
My Springfield 1911 is closer to 30years old. No failures. It's true every time you service it regularly, refrain from BS ammo, replace the spring once in awhile, and just learn what you're doing. 1911s are not for beginners. If yours fails (for everybody) send it home under warranty and it will stop. Too simple. Sorry about your luck.
It also helps to remember that-
"Cool stuff ain't cheap and cheap stuff ain't cool."
Ted Turner
@@Helibeaver
If you use good ammo and enough maintenance you should not see failures unless something breaks. Just like cars or any kind of machine it's "reliable" until it's not (breaks). A BMW will run flawlessly for 30k miles after that you're playing with fire. Well made firearms with the best materials should last a lifetime with average* use.
Me too bought mine in 97 Champion range officer and runs flawless especially cents I started using Willson combat mags
You go brother!
I recently shot my first 1911 at an Armed Women of America meeting, and I loved it; when I asked about getting one, my local gunshop advised Springfield, possibly a high end Kimber.
I ordered a 9mm Garrison from Palmetto State Armory for $800 and am really enjoying it - I’m a Big Girl, 6’2”; I prefer Big Guns (I have a Beretta 92FS) The recoil of the Springfield was somewhat milder than the 92FS. I did have an issue with the slide after 20 rounds, but I attribute it to ‘new gun’ issues. I’ve field stripped, cleaned and really lubricated it, having been told that 1911’s like a lot of lubricant
I’m looking forward to getting back on the range - this Garrison just fits my hand so well!
Went to the range and put 200 rounds for the first time and it was such a pleasant gun to shoot and accurate as heck. I love my new home protection gun. Anyone who steps in this house illegally they are going to be in a world of hurt. Thanks for the great video.
My Rock Island 1911 is right next to me at nights
@@williamzuggi3168does your RIA actually shoot right? Mine has never consistently loaded right. Have put more than 500 rounds through it, so it's past the break in point and it still almost always does not load the second round, or often the third. I have tried the stock mag, and two other after-martet mags.
My first one I sent back they sent another no problem that's the one I shoot now. First one had FTE's constantly
“That’s what he said.” I spit coffee.
It caught me by surprise. I had to think about it for a second and then I couldn't stop laughing for a long time. 🤣🤣🤣
Same here, I was like “somebody come get their dad!”
I have a DW specialist but I've always had a special place for Springfields. Rock solid platform. The Garrison has my attention. Beautiful pistol.
I'm a sucker for nostalgia and so I'm very drawn to this 1911. Oddly enough it's almost a exact replica of a cap gun I used to own as a kid.
So... I'm thinking the cap gun was a replica of a 1911. 🙂
I had one of those they were called Johnny , something , can’t remember 😒
I have a Springfield 1911 A1. I love mine. With a full size 1911 there's hardly any recoil. It's a very pleasant gun to shoot.
I’m a colt guy but the colts are skyrocketing in price. I just got my garrison and it’s my first Springfield for the money I think it’s a fine 1911 for the price. It has a lot of upgrades that you would have to buy with a standard colt. Great video and even better 1911!
I've held several 1911's from different manufacturers, and I kept coming back to the Springfield Armory 1911. This is a REAL gun, and feels like a real gun! Maybe you don't understand what I mean but when you put this in your hand, it just says this is the gun! Love it!
Unless you put a Colt Classic in your hand!!
The "Thats what he said" cut scene really hit the spot. Thanks Michael Scott.
Great MSRP on this thing...They will fly off the shelf at that price..Springfield hit a major home run with this handgun.
Just got me one!! Found a bargain deal on G4G USA for $690!!
Tested her out at the range this Saturday. Shot 100 rounds of 230 gr. .45 hardballs with zero malfunctions.
Best $690 bucks I ever spent!! Thanks Sootch!!
Simply elegant. I love traditional features! This is my 1st 1911 with the thin grips and I love them...despite having XL hands. What a perfect 1911!
I've had many springfield 1911 pistols over the years, their trophy match model my favorite. Never a malfunction, super accurate.
"They all fall with ball!" Haha, so true!
Every collection should include at least one 1911. It's no accident the design has been around this long. Problem is once you have one they seem to multiply and most of them aren't cheap. Still my favorite pistol to take to the range and sure wouldn't be scared to defend myself with one either.
I really like Springfield’s pistols, but when 600 dollar pistols come with as many as 3 magazines, you would think they could manage at least two with an 800 dollar gun, but between this and the SA35 the single magazine seems to be their new standard.
All of my semi-autos are purchased with extra mags!. At least 3, and sometimes 4 .
You never know when a mag will get dropped, or even stepped on!
One mag?
HOW CHEAP CAN YOU GET ?
This is the main trend: to provide less product but at the same or more expensive price => more margins !
Look at Apple: You don't even get a charger anymore when you buy an iPhone. Only a cable. Supposedly for ecological reasons (LOL), but the price never drops!
@@konovalov10 You can give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest they’re doing it to keep the price low (an excuse I’ll accept for a 400 dollar Rock Island 1911 with only one magazine), but for 800 dollars that’s probably not a valid excuse. If Beretta can manage to put 2 or 3 magazines in a 92x box (a fairly similar pistol in terms of complexity and metal content, you get 3 with the older 92x pistols, only 2 with the red dot compatible model with the front serrations) for between 600 and 700 dollars, there’s no reason that Springfield can’t fit at least two into the price tags for this gun. It really is a shame because, that bit of gouging aside, they do make some really nice 1911s.
FWIW, The ONLY magazines I use in my 5, 1911 pistols (3 Colt's, 2 Kimbers) are Wilson Combat mags. I have no need for any other magazines to be left in the box with the owners manual and lock. Buy three Wilson mags and you will never need any other mags for any 1911.
Who doesn’t already have like 20 1911 mags anyway?🤣
I have a springfield 1911 A1. Love it. On target. Charged the grips to hogue combat. Looks awesome on my leg or shoulder.
1911: A work of art.
“That hole is large, (that’s what she said)”, had me rolling with that! As always,great review. Can’t tell you how many guns I’ve bought based off your reviews. Thank you!
I loved your review on the Springfield Garrison 1911. I bought one this morning
One of the best channels on yt ...clear video shoots the weapon and reviews it !! Thanks for the content 🇺🇸
First thing thanks for always emphasizing safety and unloaded guns. First handgun I ever fired at the local range was a Springfield 1911 years ago. Another great video thanks
Great review Sootch! I only own one 1911 and have been wanting another. This is the one!!
Just ordered this! Thanks for your review!
Thankyou for making this video. I always come back to this for cleaning.
Great review. I received one of these as a gift, and your review was spot on and helpful. I love this gun. (I also appreciate your bloopers at the end of the video)😆
The story of Sgt. Alvin York is still amazing. I think he killed 6 German soldiers with his 1911 and those miniscule sights probably firing single handed as they did back then.
Can you imagine firing single handedly at 6 guys charging at you with adrenaline going and all and taking them all down.
He shot back to front as they charged, like shooting a flock of geese, so you don't startle the lead goose. Lights out.
Shooting single-handedly it’s not that hard if you practice it the way we practice shooting makes you a smaller target and I enjoy doing it at the Range
I like the GI sights never had any difficulty sighting with them
I have a 1918 1911 , my father traded for it in 1974 , from the man who brought it home from ww1 , I inherited it in 1998 , it has never failed to load or fire 👍🏻
Great review just picked one up was surprised to see em in stock at the local shop. Thanks for the in depth vid 👍🏻
1911 one of my all time favorite.
I BOUGHT ONE A FEW WEEKS BACK... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUN...
BOUGHT IT A ROYS PAWN AND GUN IN IRVING TX...
THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT BROTHER
I love my Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer in 9mm. Tight tolerances, great trigger and very accurate with the match barrel. The Garrison is very similar. Great features with nothing extra. Great features for the price. Thanks for the review. 🔥👊💪🇺🇸
Thanks Brother! The Range Officer is a sweet shooting gun.
Thanks for the video. You do an amazing job with your reviews.
Love my older Springfield Loaded 5". Has a match barrel & trijicon night sights. My favorite EDC. It just plain ol' works. Gives those feral hogs a bad time too! lol. Great review here. People, you can not ever go wrong having a weapon like this.
I really like the looks of the Garrison, Thanks for the review Stay Strong 💪
That's what I am looking for in a 1911, a basic upgraded model, Blued, beaver tail GS, no FCS, and good sights, aluminum trigger, flat MSH, and a commander hammer
Commander size, bobbed frame, bull barrell, flat trigger, highcut under grip, optics cut, and DLC finished. Thats what I ordered on my last 1911. I enjoy your reviews, now my daughter is watching.
Great review Don, I picked up the stainless model& love it. The only thing I’m changing is the guide rod and going with the 17# recoil spring with the Wilson combat shock buffer. The gun shoots awesome but want the better spring and buffer to protect the slide to frame. I love all other aspects of this gun with just the right amount of upgrades. Very classic looking pistol.
Have you done those modifications? How is it?
Wow, I have just bought a couple pistols when I came home in Virginia a Glock 30 and a Glock 36. Now Springfield came out with this one, no doubt, I definitely want one. That blue finish is just awesome.
Looks like my favorite 1911, a Rock River Hardball .45acp. Awesome pistol.
Another great review, thanks Sootch!
That blueing is amazing. Old school finish for sure!
Looks like a really nice pistol. My MilSpec Springfield is 16 years old and has never let me down. I really hope they eventually offer this finish on the SA-35.
They all fall to ball good ol 45acp!!!!! I just saw this on SA website and im reminded again why i love the 1911 platform i have 4 and this one will be my 5th if i see it in person this reminds me of my two SA Ronins i have and my SA loaded operator and a SA range officer stainless i had all in one!!! Sootch i definitely will be adding the garrison to my 1911 family
No firing pin safety, no ambi thumb safety with a blued finish is what makes this particular 1911 from SA the most desirable to me. Are they still using MIM small parts in their 1911 line? I don’t mind MIM if manufactured correctly but not for parts like the extractor.
Wow Springfield is coming with it.i have my champion model I bought back in 1997 and still runs flawless
Love your vids!, nice and clean, and I just love the 1911, specially this one" Garrison" named after a bar from the past. This is def on my wish list. Thank you!!
I actually just won this exact 1911 at a hunters banquet raffle and I’m in love!
I set out to customize this pistol but I really love it the way it is. A beautiful holster perhaps , Wilson mags , what a classic design 🇺🇸
I have 3 Springfield 1911's and love them each. This one looks to me to be a level below the "loaded" series. Very nice looking pistol.
Great review, as always. "Be strong, be of good courage, God Bless America, long live the Republic!"
What an excellent testing and Beautiful Product Thats a very impressive 1911 cant go wrong with the price or Quality of the History aswell.
Springfield is bringin it! That new 35 hi-power is nothing short of amazing.
Right!! 4 guns in 3 years that waypoint rifle the Ronin series the hi power and now the garrison!!
Yes, and they are nothing short of amazingly unavailable at reasonable prices. I won't pay what they're going for.
@@OutnBacker ok
@@OutnBacker Ya snooze, ya lose.
@@DS..69 You got that right, but I'll be lurking in a couple years - after all the fools paid upwards of $1200-$1500 (soon) for that sandblasted "parkerized" version, because by then they'll have a polished blued or stainless out and those guys will - again - over pay and there will be plenty of good used plain carry models for a song. Remember the tortoise and the hare?
So fine. Nothing like a simple 1911. Sleek beauty.
Nice review Sootch....think I'm going to get one now....fortunately I have a ton of 1911 mags....
Just got my garrison and added a Wilson combat full length guide rod and that’s it. I was hitting steel at 65 yards very accurate Springfield hit it out of the park with this one for the price!
Beautiful 1911. I love the classic blue.
I just bought my first gun today, and it was this one amazing feel! And amazing video! Thank you

Awesome review! Looking forward for more videos soon!
Beautiful gun that has a timeless look and works very well. Fantastic design. Thank you John Moses Browning!
You’re welcome
Man at the price this is going for and it has all the stuff I want for my carry 1911. I’m there. That finish is right on the $ too
I’ve owned 2 full size and still own an Ultra Compact. 3 of the 6 1911’s that I’ve owned were Springfields. All good reliable pistols. I wouldn’t mind owning a Gartison. It has the best of the traditional 1911 with nice upgrades. I think the only upgrades that I’d add would be TruGlo fiber optic tritium night sights a polished feed ramp, good quality 8 rd magazines and a 3.5 lb trigger. A Wilson Combat Bullet Proof extractor and firing pin and spring. That would make an already good pistol better. The salt nitride is more durable than I think Sootch knows it to be. Good review Sootch.
As always great review Sootch oo!
I had the milspec which was awesome for the price. This takes essentially that, adds better sights, not parkerized, and the only real issue I had - the extended beavertail. I think this is a great entry.
Just how I love em. No FCS, blued, traditional with some nice modern touches as mentioned. About perfect IMO. I bet I will really age nicely too as long as you keep the rust off. I love the way bluing ages.
Also it would be a perfect base gun for a full up high end custom build!
I've always enjoyed shooting the. 45 ACP. To me it's almost "Perfect" for the job!
And I have little sympathy for those big, husky, stoutly built youngsters, most still in their 30's, who moan and complain that the 1911 "Is too heavy" or "If kicks too much"!
I'm nearly 70. And if my arthritis filled hands and wrists can handle it, you "bitching" just makes you look a little bit "Whimpy"!!! 😉😊🙃
This is the embodiment of “two world wars!!”
I’m 70 years old and I’ve always loved the 1911 .45 ACP. I have Colt, Springfield Armory and 2 Kimber 1911s. Some younger people who own Glocks tell me that the 1911s are “antiquated” and “outdated” and is old as I am. But the hell with them. I love it anyway!
Okay boomer
Well, what can you expect from millenials and Gen Zrs. They are the ones who got trophies for finishing 4th and 5th place in team sports so they wouldn't feel bad about themselves. It's called overcoming adversity and working harder to accomplish things in life.
@@DS..69 Their skinny little Milennial arms can't lift the metal 1911 ! L.O.L.
Ordering my own soon so excited 😍, always wanted a Springfield 1911 but didn’t want to cash out the price but $800 with good reviews? I’m in
I love the 1911, just wish I had one. Cheers from Australia.
When it comes to the end of time, the last man standing will probably have a 1911 in .45 ACP.
Love that movie. Bruce Willis welding two 1911s and a lot of them 7 round mag..
I just purchased one today I'm so happy with it😁👍
Sootch 00 think you for the quality of you video
I picked up the stainless version.
What a bargain this gun was. Beautiful piece.
Sootch, please do more reviews of 1911 pistols. Thanks in advance.
Sootch00, thank you very much 👍
I really believe in Springfield Armory when it comes to the 1911. I plan on buying a garrison very soon and will never let it go. I had their mil spec years back and I swear that weapon never failed ever no matter how it was treated, and it actually held up better and outperformed a couple of my weapons I paid more money for that were supposed to be superior.
This video sold me! Just bought it from PSA for $750!! Gotta love those daily deals!
I had garrison for quite a while I don't even know how many rounds I have no jamming ,no misfires accurate love it
Another Excellent Video Thanks For Sharing
1911 is beautiful and proven record.
I just picked up the Stainless Steel model
Looks great! I’ll be buying one soon.
Nice pistol sounds like a reinvention of the Range Officer with a few differences. Also a great pistol I have both in 9mm and .45 and love it!
just picked up da stainless model today. cant wait to take it to da range ✊🏾
Sootch00 does the Best reviews on youtube
as always, sootch likes EVERYTHING
Great video thanks for sharing
I have the Springfield Range Officer Champion. 4.25 inch barrel and a super trigger. A great 1911.
Thank you, awesome video. Helped out
I enjoy Your review’s vary satisfying
That’s exactly the configuration I like in a 1911. I would change those skinny grips though. Great video sir.
Absolutely love my 1911s
Thats a beautifully made 1911.
I just ordered one for way under MSRP. Looked in two places and both had it. SS model is harder to find. Thanks for the great video, you sold me.
Damn nice gun. That trigger is sweet love to try it. $800 msrp very reasonable. Springfield should pay you to review their guns because now I want one. 👍
Sootch, kinda wished you made a review about the new SA-35 Browning HP. I heard they added some really nice improvements over the original. Nice review btw.
Springfield Armory doing something GOOD ..! 👍👍👍
I would love to see your review of the new Springfield Armory SA-35
Interested in that one myself. There's enough old guys, Gen X who lived the transition (50 isn't old, dammit) and younger folks interested in history I think it can do well.
