One thing I really like about you and Hickok45 is not only the fantastic shooting, but the in depth firearms history you guys can go in to from time to time. Thanks for sharing.
This man has to be one of the most knowledgeable and fascinating people to ever grace firearm enthusiasm and is a valuable asset to have in this community. Thank you Jerry for the great videos and wonderful wealth of information.
The old 1911's were cool. Remember back in the day when I was in the Navy, I carried one as a side arm doing roving patrol on board my ship. Thanks for bringing out an old one and showing us it's still a great gun!
+tenacious645 Nope. You don't need to complicate it that much to explain it. Jerry Miculek has been a competitive shooter for prpbably longer than I've alive. He has fired more bullets than some battalions have. His skill comes from work, work and some more work. It's become instinctive to him. That's why he's the best.
Your daughter and son in law have do an AMAZING job with the slow motion editing and camera angles. Especially at 7:15 with the view over the breach where you can see it unlock and extract the brass and eject soo cool. Almost hard to believe John browning designed all this without today's technology
What i find remarkable is that a mechanical action can load, fire, extract, eject in less than .16 of a second and not malfunction. That's quite the testament to the design.
Damn you’re so lucky. I’ve been trying to buy a really early 1911 for about a year now. My dad still has his 1911 that he used in the Salvadorian civil war.
1st string; 7 shots in one second. AND, he corrected the shots to bring them up and closer to center mass. F’ me, that’s astounding to be able to:one perceive the impacts and; two to be able to make accurate mid stream corrections. Skill and talent beyond belief!
Parts have to be hand fit, low capacity in a low pressure round, as issued wasn't perfectly drop safe, reassembly harder than with newer guns, thumb safety to fumble over.
RexApplegate They didn’t have to be hand fit (that was the Luger), it actually was drop safe per US Cavalry testing, the reassembly isn’t that hard if you’re competent, and if you’d actually fired one you’d know that the thumb safety clicks pretty naturally.
This just goes to show us how reliable those pistols were and are today. As fast as Jerry is even he couldn't outrun the gun, no malfunctions. The pistol just works.
My dad was an FBI Special Agent and firearms instructor in the 1940’s and the 1950’s; fundamentally, this was the way I first learned to shoot handguns (principally K and N Frame S&W revolvers, but also 1911A1s and a Browning/Colt 1903/1908 “hammerless” in .380 ACP). It worked. While I wouldn’t replace contemporary stances with dominant-hand point shooting, Im quite certain one could defend innocents rather effectively with “old school” firearms and techniques. The one area that (imho) has shown tremendous improvement is ammunition technology; every component of the cartridge has been significantly improved in the last near-100 years. Perhaps the best illustration is comparing current top-tier projectiles with their (say World War II era) ball ammunition predecessors.
Excellent slow motion shots, his Finger is actually faster than full auto AK-47, the man is Amazing, him his Daughter Melena, and his Wife, could take on a full Squad of Army Soldiers face to face, he’s just Lethal. Keep up the awesome work Jerry, your true Patriot. 💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼
Jerry, I know I'm watching this video 4 years after you made it. But what's strange is, I just saw that army video last night. And then I watched you with little portions of that same video. I was very much thinking what you were, things have really changed. I train 3 gun, and do pretty well. So you could imagine how I felt when I saw that World War II video. Anyway, just strange, 4 years can I get the answer from you. I learn so much from you. Thank you Jerry.
Hey Jerry, YOU ARE MY HORO!!! ❤️🤍💙 I have one of the largest collectors in Arizona, if you ever need a weapon that you would like to use or need for a video?? Please contact me!!! My Grandfather introduced me to you when I was a young man & I will never forget that day!! I remember watching you break the world record w/ a revolver!!! I couldn’t believe it but my grandfather said if anyone could do it you could!! You are great mentor to everyonrone in the gun world & many to come!! you are the Michael Jordan of the gun industry!!! Thanks again because my passion is your passion but I don’t shoot like you do, I’ve tried & just don’t have it!! for anyone who wants to become a great shooter I highly recommend watching this gentleman because he is the superman and one of the greatest advocates in the gun industry!!! I also own a ballistics company and if you ever need custom ammunition also let me know and I’ll send it to you!! I asked for nothing in return because your content & everything you’ve done for this industry is priceless!! I think you and so does my grandfather if he was here today!!! Thx JC™
Thanks Jerry - I love your contribution in all the shooting sports and education you are involved in! Your humor is a very welcome change from the masses! Thank you!
With the sights on a 1911 military pointing may be as good. That said 1911 is the only firearm I have been able to point shoot at any reasonable distance. Mr. Browning . . . Yet another success!!
Jerry is the man.been watching his vids and i am convinced that shaking hands with him would be like shaking hands with a vice.there is alot of grip and forearm strength.think i will start working on mine.
Been watching your channel for a while Jerry. Became a fan after watching you shoot at Bisley England in the 1980s. First pistol I bought was a Colt .45 ACP Series 70. I loved that gun. The last was a HK USP in .45 also... Then the government in Britain disarmed us. How I miss shooting pistols.
Filton Kingswood Greetings from California, that's awful what happens to civilians around the world, on our way here in California I guess... it's just not fair for innocent citizens to bend over and take it the bunghole. We share the rate in weaponry, still have the latter. peace out
Funny I have never been bit by the old style hammer of a 1911. One of my 1911's does have a beavertail. That high speed footage is the best 1911 functioning filming I have ever seen! Than you.
Wow! Great shooting as always. I have a 1911 made in 1913. I also have a Jim Clark built Ruger PPC 38 Special with a Mascot II rib I used in PPC matches in the old days.
The Colt Government model is still the best looking semiautomatic handgun made. It feels like JMB designed it just for me. So smooth and nice to shoot. Very pleasant shooting .45acp from a Go we meant model. That’s a beauty you got there, Jerry.
What different between Colt M-1911 - US ARMY made in 1918 and Colt M-1911 commercial ? I got both of them that manufactured in my ex home town Hartford, CT. My father brought a brand new Colt Government Model white outline in original box with 2 spare magazine for $15.00 in 1952 from store.
I always love the slow motion video. You can really see exactly how the force of the slide reaching the end of it's rearward cycle affects the extension of the arms (especially 1 handed). It just shows how quickly Miculek is able to reestablish sight alignment and sight picture.
I'm really excited whenever one of your videos contains some firearms history. If you ever find yourself feeling like you're talking too much in one of these videos, ignore that feeling, keep talking, and add another 10 mins onto the vid.
The Two Military 1911A1's I have were sold through the DCM in 1961 for a whopping $12.50 + Shipping... I still have the Paperwork. Boy, how times have changed.
Most of those surplus 1911s were probably bubba'd and used as toolbox and truck guns without being taken care of. Since they were so plentiful they were modified to whatever was tacticool at the time. Probably not many left unmolested and taken care of, that's were the shortage comes from. Nobody ever thought the prices would go that high for a 1911, it was just a good cheap gun due to its surplus status. Just think of how we treat or view Glocks now. But what if they stopped making Glocks overnight? Most Glocks are modified, and when something becomes collectible it is usually the stock model that is most sought after. Just some food for thought.
GREAT shooting Jerry. It's awesome how you can control the muzzle flip of the .45. The slow mo says it all. So much for the "MYTH" of the 'inaccurate/unreliable' WWII 1911. I believe an old, loose/rattling 1911 will outshoot a new plastic gun any day of the week. You can have a 3", 4", 5", 6" barrel, single stack or double stack hi-cap, $500 to $5000, etc.... Whatever flavor you want; the 1911 offers. No other gun can boast that. Now it has even evolved into the 2011 model that competition shooters swear by. Long live the 1911 platform!!!
Beautiful 1925 Colt Government! Thanks for sharing Jerry! Jim Clark Jr. Miss those Clark customs. Still have my 1911 heavy ribbed long slide with tiger toothed stippling from Clark!
You're father in law told you not to buy a Govt. model for 11 dollars? Did he tell you that before or after he told you to stay away from his daughter?
Notice in the training film at 1:56 the instructor is using tracer ammunition. .45 ACP tracer ammo was used mostly for signaling in distress situations by downed aircrew.
Don't fool us Jerry. You could hit a man sized target downrange with one of your eyes closed regardless of stance, grip, gun, ammo, and lighting. You're just that good. You're a living Gun god.
I know Jerry doesn't wanna say ''Colt'', but, it's a very nice transitional Colt 1911a1 pistol and, as such, is much nicer than most of the stuff he normally shoots. The older prewar Colt's were like butter to shoot and handle.
This is, and always has been, chiefly how I practice with a handgun (except I use the sights( and I do good. When I so practice with two hands, I do that much better. It’s how I was taught. I love the Captain America movie theme when you’re shooting in slow motion. The only modification I’ve made to my SA GI 1911A1 is to put a wide hammer spur (as you have on yours) and love it. Feels much better. EDIT UPDATE: Over the past two weeks, I have been daily using this applegate point shooting technique and it works VERY well. My groups got tight with a little practice and are now consistantly right where I point at 10 yards away.
That 1925 Colt manf model 1911 looks like a work of Art. I keep hearing that moder fire arms are made of better metal and closer tolerances ... but I never had my hands on any antiques.. I thought Wow Jerry has some real high tech slow motion cameras there.. Thanks Cheaper than Dirt.. I was what was left of my Grandfathers gun.. He had an Iver Johnson 32 S&W nickle plated Revolver than belonged to my Step Great Great Grandfather.. He worked Security for the Rail Road. I ordered some ammo for that gun from Cheaper than Dirt.. Unfortuanlatly it got stolen from my Grandmothers house when she hired some Men to remodel her kitchen ..
Got a US Army 1918. I can tell you. They didn't give a damn about sites. Let's not forget. That 100 year old controlled feed pistol just threw 7 rounds down range on target in a second. Amazing gun.
One thing I really like about you and Hickok45 is not only the fantastic shooting, but the in depth firearms history you guys can go in to from time to time. Thanks for sharing.

Kudos same here!! CV-59
"I'm gonna slow down just a little bit" Still did it faster than any normal human being.
ikr lol
Right? Jerry only has two speeds. Incredibly fast & Unreasonably fast.
I wonder if Mr. Miculek can see faster than us and that's why he's so fast. Like every second seems like a minute to him.
Noah Rairdon 0.0 I mean it's actually possible he experiences events that seem slower to him, but he thinks that's normal
+tenacious645 Nope. You don't need to complicate it that much to explain it. Jerry Miculek has been a competitive shooter for prpbably longer than I've alive. He has fired more bullets than some battalions have. His skill comes from work, work and some more work. It's become instinctive to him. That's why he's the best.
Your daughter and son in law have do an AMAZING job with the slow motion editing and camera angles. Especially at 7:15 with the view over the breach where you can see it unlock and extract the brass and eject soo cool. Almost hard to believe John browning designed all this without today's technology
The mind is the best computer ever designed...
7:13 wow I finally can understand how the 1911 works in action now. Thank you so much for illustrating this.
What i find remarkable is that a mechanical action can load, fire, extract, eject in less than .16 of a second and not malfunction. That's quite the testament to the design.
Finest handgun ever manufactured !! Absolutely amazing to shoot and maintain and of all 11 models that I own , have never had a "hang up", NEVER !!!
Gotta love the engineering from back then. I still have my great-grandfather's 1911 from 1913 and it still shoots great, over 100 years later!
That’s from the year Peter Cushing was born.
You may fire when ready.
Damn you’re so lucky. I’ve been trying to buy a really early 1911 for about a year now. My dad still has his 1911 that he used in the Salvadorian civil war.
Him shooting is like watching art in motion. He’s such a artist with a weapon.
1st string; 7 shots in one second. AND, he corrected the shots to bring them up and closer to center mass. F’ me, that’s astounding to be able to:one perceive the impacts and; two to be able to make accurate mid stream corrections. Skill and talent beyond belief!
Yes but remember he shoots for pleasure and $$$ and over thirty years and millions and millions of rounds. To Jerry shooting is a natural as breathing
You ain't Fucking kidding!!!
Colt 1911 45ACP...How can you NOT love it!?!?
willglo james yeager can not love it....you cant be a tactical toolbag with a hammer
Robert Wilkinson sounds like your a fanboy of his!

Awesome high speed footage of the 45acp rd in action
I don't think that was high speed footage. The .45 ACP is just that slow. 🤣
Jerry M is one of ,if the THE most knowledgeable shooters on the scene today ANYWHERE!!
Such a beautiful weapon. I love 1911's
nothing beats the view of an old man holding a 1911!
The guys back in 1925 would have thought Jerry's model was fully automatic .. 😂😂
wow what a genius contraption! a compact handgun but with machine gun capabilities!
John Dillinger and Babyface Nelson had 1911 machine pistols w thompson vertical foregrips!
Neil Hillis ther were only five made ,wat a shame !
How do you know it isn't?
@@750suzuki Because were not conspiracy theorists
This just goes to show us how reliable those pistols were and are today. As fast as Jerry is even he couldn't outrun the gun, no malfunctions. The pistol just works.
Thank You, Jerry! As the Owner of a 1928 made 1911 and a couple 1911a1s. this video was very informative.
love to see the good old 1911 in action and in the hands of a master
Every time JM grabs a firearm, magical things happen.

Thank you Mr. Miculek for you generosity. I value your lessons and I practice them.
its one of the greatest handguns ever made
Always learn something when watching your videos, and I agree"the longer the better"

In my mind there's nothing better then a M1911A1 even when it's 90 years old
I've got one made in 1941. It's been "updated" with a finger collet bushing and a 70 series barrel but other than that it's all original.
A Colt 1911 that’s 90 yrs old and still fires? *EVEN BETTER*
@@arseface726 Pretty sure all of them still fire, as long as they were cleaned and oiled.
I brought one in 1990 made by Remington in NY long time ago with Rock Island logo for $425.00 the gun was reworked after WW-II. I still have it.
Exactly the model I want to buy.
Mr Jerry remarkable shooting. Fantastic speed and accuracy.
Always educational, always fun, always the best! Thanks, Jerry!

It is very pleasing to hear a true well mannered gentleman speak. GreatJob!

I'm really excited whenever one of your videos contains some firearms history. If you ever find yourself feeling like you're talking too much in one of these videos, ignore that feeling, keep talking, and add another 10 mins onto the vid.
Ha mine didn't go that fast, ;-)
That’s a beautiful piece. I’d love to own one. Thanks for sharing, Jerry.
"surprisingly good results"
yes, because he's a total badass with any kind of gun
Your high speed studies help a lot to understand function of a firearm and recoil. Thanks. You got a new subscriber.
Why do I still carry the 104-year-old designed John Browning .45 ACP 1911 pistol? Because it's still very much relevant today. ;)
Heh, heh.. AND it WORKS!
All American, never fail
You can't beat the classics
We love you Jerry. And why would a guy say that? You bring so much energy and talent to the world. Patriots know a winner when they see one. God bless
These videos are getting better and better! Keep up the good work!
Nothing beats training.
Thank you, your videos are a trusted form of refrince.
Even though this was years ago, amazing high speed camera work. 👍
I always liked the 1911, and high speed cameras🙂
The Two Military 1911A1's I have were sold through the DCM in 1961 for a whopping $12.50 + Shipping... I still have the Paperwork. Boy, how times have changed.
Most of those surplus 1911s were probably bubba'd and used as toolbox and truck guns without being taken care of.
Since they were so plentiful they were modified to whatever was tacticool at the time. Probably not many left unmolested and taken care of, that's were the shortage comes from.
Nobody ever thought the prices would go that high for a 1911, it was just a good cheap gun due to its surplus status.
Just think of how we treat or view Glocks now. But what if they stopped making Glocks overnight?
Most Glocks are modified, and when something becomes collectible it is usually the stock model that is most sought after.
Just some food for thought.
tyler williams true
@isma Inflation has only brought $12.50 to $100 and change in 2018, so uh...
Mosins are treated the same way today they think because it’s a cheap gun to treat it like trash I treasure mine
That's cool
Just inherited my father's 1911, made in 1922! Beats my custom Taurus Comander! What a wonderful dream! God bless John Moses Browning!
GREAT shooting Jerry. It's awesome how you can control the muzzle flip of the .45. The slow mo says it all. So much for the "MYTH" of the 'inaccurate/unreliable' WWII 1911. I believe an old, loose/rattling 1911 will outshoot a new plastic gun any day of the week. You can have a 3", 4", 5", 6" barrel, single stack or double stack hi-cap, $500 to $5000, etc.... Whatever flavor you want; the 1911 offers. No other gun can boast that. Now it has even evolved into the 2011 model that competition shooters swear by. Long live the 1911 platform!!!
Talking to old gunsmiths and people who used 1911’s, the mantra is “fit right, not tight”
no need to measure your time Jerry, you are always the fastest, I love watching you shooting, me a total ipsc rookie from Austria.
I Love the history lesson and the old footage of the training back in that time. I always learn something New from you Jerry. Thank You.

pretty neat watching those slugs flying out the barrel to target. great vid, great info, great delivery. God bless Jerry
What a terrific firearm! So much history behind it. Really enjoyed the slow mo video 👍
camera work and editing is really improving, really shined in this video, keep it up!
This is probably my favorite video. Great history!
Don't fool us Jerry.
You could hit a man sized target downrange with one of your eyes closed regardless of stance, grip, gun, ammo, and lighting.
You're just that good. You're a living Gun god.

I know Jerry doesn't wanna say ''Colt'', but, it's a very nice transitional Colt 1911a1 pistol and, as such, is much nicer than most of the stuff he normally shoots. The older prewar Colt's were like butter to shoot and handle.
"...for both defensive and offensive close quarter man to man combat fighting."
Good honest information and phenomenal talent. Respect from England sir .
Excellent video! Very nice 1911 with a some great history to it.
Love your videos Jerry
Thank You for all that you do !
I have a Colt1911A1 from 1921 so it's cool seeing you use one close to it
whenever you're shooting the gun in slow motion, try raising the shutter speed (exposure time) for a clearer image of the bullet every frame
This video led me to purchase my first 1911. I went with a kimber custom. It handles like a beauty and feels like your holding a hammer.
that background music and the slowmo is epic!!
6/19 and good ol’ Jerry is still goin/shootin strong and has yet to put out a bad video!
Jerry Miculek + Smith & Wesson= Awesome!
This is one of the best and most reliable handguns ever made!
This is, and always has been, chiefly how I practice with a handgun (except I use the sights( and I do good. When I so practice with two hands, I do that much better. It’s how I was taught.
