I just found out about the Savage 1911 a couple days ago while browsing online. I think its a gorgeous gun and thought I would check for some reviews when I found your video. Nicely done and I definitely value your input as an actual owner. Just curious, at what distance were you shooting and what ammo weights and brands have you tried? Now, I just need to decide on which finish to get first because I really like all three that Ive seen so far? Have you seen the Silver yet? It looks to be more of a matte finish, which I love, but I think the two tone and polished stainless are great looking as well. Hmmm, decisions 🤔😂
Thanks.I always shoot at 7 yards out.Ammo used is the Defender brand(USA MADE) 230 Ball fmj,Precision One 230 ball fmj,federal target 230 fmj.I do use wilson combat and chip Mccormick mags! Not that the savage mags lack anything.Now on my stainless as that is what it is,it has no rail.The govt 2 tone has a rail.My shooting has improved alot with both of my savages as I have adjusted to them.I typically run a 100 plus rds Every range day with each.On the hollow point I have used the Sierra brand 185 grain as its inexpensive and works perfect in ALL of my 45s.Deciding on which one,IDK I Love both of mine and at some point may buy the 3rd one to complete the line.I realize some were leary of a New model brand pistol,but Savage did a good job and I went for it.No Regrets as I shoot mine in my rotation very frequently. I picked up mine off guns com bc it was available and actually cheaper after tax,shpg,and ffl fee compared to a walk in store.Ive done a period history on both pistols which can be seen on the 1911 forum(all one word) its under the subforum other1911s.I post each range outing results with targets shown.
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these. But there’s not that many videos of these pistols. Kinda makes me wonder 🤔 I definitely love the looks of these and I don’t think people really take into account what metals have been used in making it. Also it doesn’t have a lifetime warranty.
Don't be hesitant!! I own the govt 2 tone and stainless both 45s.I have owned the govt for 1 year,ss 8 months.I have run the s--t out of both.Both are a Real joy to shoot,very accurate and dislike NO ammo brand I use.I run defender,precision one,winchester 185fmj ,sierra jhp,federal No Cheap crap.I may suggest go to (1911forums) check out the 2k post in (Other 1911s) Titled savage!! I show all my targets good and bad and what I used ammo wise.Id put my savage Up against my edc kimber lw or k 2 tone,sa garrison or ruger lw 45s it will just as much of a performer with great results.I seriously have to hold back each range trip to Leave it at home as I rotate all my pistols.If that's not a Confident aspect from a real owner I do not what a guy st a range shooting in a video would do for me.I honestly take the vids on u tube in consideration but,If the pistol MEETS my criteria cal,weight,style etc I Trust a real review from a Real owner and not a paid or endorsed channel.Granted those videos help but it's Not a deciding factor y/ n for me.Good luck and I know I'm long winded but,it's bc it's a GREAT pustol,I do not care about a long term warranty either,I'd fix it or take to a gunsmith I trust after the warranty expired if needed.
@Mr8up1 I really think it's a good balanced pistol.The 45 recoil isn't bad and I suggest run a few hundred rds of just FMJ no hp/jhp.I use wc and chip Mccormick mags for both of mine.I might suggest winchester 185 fmj as This is a good choice to run the 1st mag or 2 then go 230 .Make sure to Clean and lube Prior to any range use( prevents drama).Any 1911 questions check out www.1911forum.com Excellent site!
@Mr8up1 Well alright.Not every pistol suits everyone.I know 1911 are contagious so,you may revisit the idea.You can never really own too many and I like variety myself.I own sa,kimbers,ruger as well.Enjoy that new pistol! And a great source for info and owners is the ( 1911 forum).Just remember run 1 less rd in those new mags for a bit until broken in.Clean/lube inspect it prior to use.Id run fmj only for at least 2-3 hundred rds,jhp,hp tend to miss feed until its used a few range days.
If you have a sportsman whse they carry it.But I bought mine off guns com reason cost,plus tax,shpg it was Cheaper than the store! It's a Safe online site,ships quick on all my buys and ships to alot of ffl's In areas all over!
Nicely done sir excellent video.
Thanks 4 checking it out.Just felt a real review from the owner of said pistol is as compelling as or more so,than other options here.

@@Ron1987 o ok.cause I thought when you test for accuracy you get the small targets

No no no you should have used the SA LOADED or operator or emissary not the Garrison.
