Got one about a year ago. I have hit a 12 in. steel target at 80 yds. with Win. 230 gr. fmj’s and Sig 200 grain hp’s . Great sights. I am 77. Began carrying a 1911 at age 15. Although I’ve gone through about twenty 1911’s during my life… this is the first 1911 I did not put an arched main spring housing in. I was surprised it handled so well that I will leave the original on.
Your dad’s 1911 is a keeper! I have a Springfield Armory 1911 set up the same way, pachmayr grips, better sights, the rest is all standard old school 1911. Never sell that pistol. The story alone adds to why you should never let it go.
I was eyeing that exact same gun in one of my local gun shops, for several months, trying to justify spending the money. Well, I dragged my feet for a little too long, because one day it just disappeared. Someone snatched it up before I could “pull the trigger” (come up with the cash), and now I can only dream of drawing that beautiful weapon, and zeroing in on a target. Like the saying goes…”He who hesitates…”.
The early gold cups were extremely accurate and reliable fire arms. Of course I collect early 1911s mostly war pistols. Do have some some comp. Guns but not anything newer than 2002. How well does it print @ 25 yards and have you tried double end wad cutters.
Your right round checkered msh are difficult but Google egw they have it in stainless PERFECT for your gun! And better than than the plastic Delhi msh u have now.
I was about to stop the video but when you said “a 1911 should be on 45” I did even subscribed to your channel. I totally agree.

Thanks for the video, I just bought my first Colt, almost the same pistol but in a 38 Super, Colt Gold Cup Trophy, beautiful pistol
Nice review on those 1911s. Thanks
Bought the same gun. I put an arched mainspring housing on mine. Got it from EGW 👍
It’s a skeleton hammer 😊and your was made just a wee bit before CZ. I have one just like it except it has a blued slide with a stainless frame.

Great story. Looking forward to updates on how it's holding up.
Great review. I’m wanting to get that exact one, just waiting for a few extra bucks to get it rolling
Very nice 1911 I have 3 Colts myself in 45, 38 super and 9mm

Harrison Design makes the straight vertical line mainspring housing you're looking for. I've got one on my Colt Competition.
I have the kimber 1911 gold combat 2 best gun I ever bought no jams ever good video stay safe 👍
Great video just wished you would’ve shown us that guide rod/dual recoil spring that would have been nice to see
Ah fair, when I get a chance I'll have to do another video on that
Call ed brown, they have the arched MSH you seek and yes it matches.
I have that gun in 45 it's like shooting a Lazer
Your right round checkered msh are difficult but Google egw they have it in stainless PERFECT for your gun! And better than than the plastic Delhi msh u have now.
Oh, they actually have a curved checkered mainspring housing. Ordered one today
Sweet gun 👍
Mine has actual Novak sights not Novak style and i have the same pistol in both .45 as well as 9mm, both are Novak branded sights
Cuál es el año de fabricación de tu arma ? saludos!
Must be newer, 2022+ at least
Fix your audio, bro. Nice Gun.
Dang, not even in the lords caliber
The title literally says "45 acp"
Junk I can hear it rattling
