    It's crazy to think of how Browning designed a gun that could stand the test of time. Even today it's still relevant. Great video.

    I've have my dad's 1911, he won the top marksman in 1962 on the Army pistol team. He passed away January 24,2021 from corona . He was 90 and was a Korea and Vietnam Veteran. I researched the pistol and he ordered it special for pistol competition in may of 1956. I learned to shoot with it when I was fourteen. I also was allowed to carry it on the Air Force in the mid seventies.

    when you hit that center shot of the gong, i almost cried, because the 1911 is my favorite gun of all time, and it just goes to show you the sheer power of a gun that is 100 years old. I dont care who you are, there is no denying the awesomeness of the 1911. I love mine so very much

    In the RUclips world where a lot of commentators seem to be more concerned with how many subscribers they have, Hickok is one of the very few people who put out quality material that can get people to watch a 35 minute RUclips video. He keeps it interesting, is very informative, and very passionate about what he talks about. I enjoy the history lessons and comedy you bring to your channel.

    @HeavyRoundhouse, I've been doing that with my tests of the ATI. I can't test them all, so this one serves as a pretty good example of the "economy" 1911s. It's about the cheapest, I guess. It's been doing fine, at this point, except that it shoots low with existing sights.

      Don't go cheap when buying a 1911. I made that mistake and got a cheaper one (don't want to say the brand, but it was on the lower end price wise) and it jammed all the time, had a shaky slide to receiver fit and had an all around cheap feel to it. I later handled a Colt 1911 and felt a world of difference. I have held a Les Baer but have not shot one, but the fit and finish looks every bit worth the extra money!! I want a Baer 1911 one day.

    I bought my one and only 1911 in 2011.
    It has "100 Years of Service" roll marked on the slide.
    So I got that going for me....which is nice.

    I believe, and this is my opinion, that the 1911 .45 is the best pistol ever manufactured. Being only 16 years old, I haven't had a ton of time on this earth to be taken completely seriously, but I still believe that this is the best pistol ever made. My dad owns the Springfield Range Officer, which he got in 2011. I can say with complete honesty that it is the best shooting pistol I have ever fired. If I had to chose one gun and caliber for my life to depend on, it would be the 1911 in .45 ACP.

    I know this video was old when I found it, but I'm glad I did. I carried a 1911 in the USN aboard ship until I left in 1993 (they were on the bottom of the procurement for the M9 - I was soooo glad). The best I've owned, believe it or not, was an Argentine Army surplus. Bad bore, rattled like a tin can with rocks (just like the Navy pistols), but shot and ran like a dream. Rock Island milspec is what I have now and it's more than good enough.

      Nope, ah does fully beh-lieve he'd carry an original 1911 -- flat mainspring housing, long trigger. (so I'm biased, so what - I find the A1 just doesn't fit my hand right. But the original? Ooooh baaab-yyy! Like a glove!)

    To be the Governor of a state that limits gun owners and then portray a character that has access to any and all weapons that his very state calls "illegal" and "assault weapons" is hypocrisy at its finest.

    You're a cool dude Mr. Hickok, you have taught me so much and I watch all of your videos before I make a new purchase. I just started getting into it, but so far I have a S&W 500 (great videos you have on that, I show all of my family and friends) a Ruger LCP, and a Walther PPK/S. I want a 1911 but I'm going to wait for a gun show to get one. Thanks again for everything, and you're right, MyJohnny6969 has no class haha.
