Modern pistol expected service life: X0,000 rounds
1911 expected service life: don't worry about it.
"Safety off, safety on" repeated incessantly. All this with a very firm and direct look: it's like a hypnosis!!! Excellent lesson!!!

@@jinvid Yea! Now I'm inspired to paint a picture of a 1911!
I love my .45 1911a1. I think its the most beautyful pistol design ever made
Same!!!
1911 is irreplaceable, proven to be effective! I carry 1,own several. Best gun for me. It'll be around another hundred years or so
It's good if you have no plastic fantastics

Lonewolf McQuade,
"It'll be around another hundred years or so."
Said in 1911, and 2011 ...
no gun collector should ever go without having an 1911 in there selection. 1911's have great safety features
Thank you so much....you really helped me, I just bought my first 1911 it's a Ruger SR 1911.
You're welcome, Sir. I hope you enjoy your purchase. Thanks for watching!
The sr1911 is very nice i bought one recently i love her
Me too man i got the 9mm version. Haven’t shot it yet but cant wait!
Polish the feed ramp... I own one and have about 6000 rounds down range with it..... Clean your mags once in awhile also ...
I just got the sr1911 too!
Thanks for the video! 1911's are a treasure in the handgun world. I have one chambered in .45acp, one in 9mm, and one in 10mm. Hard to beat a 1911 ergos and trigger straight out the box.
How do you like that 10mm?
pros, cons?
@@harrybarnes3539 Pros : it's 10mm
Cons: It's 10mm

Browning was a gun-design genius. Love the 1911, and the Hi-Power for 9 mil.
I bought my first 1911 is a springfield mil spec SS version of it in 2015 been a very reliable very accurate. 45 I still carry it and as a responsible gun owner I use the safetys and love the design. Its also a good versitly left or right hand gun
Thank you , Im new to 1911's
Thank you, thank you!!! I’m new to gun ownership and will get my 1911 soon. That dry fire safety drill will be my go to every chance I get.
I like your easy pace and Good explanations. I acquired a 1911 not long ago, and due to the current crisis have been unable to take lessons. My oldest Son has many other types and has promised to show me, but I wanted a leg up because he isn’t patient! Thank You!
I just recently got my first 1911 and got it customized with some art engraving and new paint job. It can be hard to find a good affordable 1911 and I think it’s best to get a classic GI style I got mine from Springfield Armory for $700 and do your own custom work on there to make it uniquely your own. I spent another $700 on that so around $1,400 which does take it from affordable on up to luxury price but it’s a really nice classic gun to have and with the art work it just makes it a lifetime collectible to have!
Thanks! I’m looking to buy my first gun, and I’m thinking of getting a Rock Island 1911.
6 years ago, who would think that times fly by.
I need to learn a lot more of 1911's so when getting 1 I know how to use it
One redeeming quality of the 1911 is with safety engage you can thrust and striking works without putting the gun outta battery same as a revolver love my 1911 I have an A1 no complaints and runs all ammo types
I think it's time for me for my first 1911 of course in .45 ACP
That's what I just got.
Very helpful. My gunstore goes through a safety drill before finalizing the sale of a weapon. It's great to see the controls beforehand.
You neglected to mention the superb 1911 trigger. The major reason. Use of us love the the 1911. Also, the 1911 was intended for Calvary troops, which is the reason for the Grip Safety.
My only 9mm 1911 is going away. I prefer my 1911s the way JMB intended, .45acp.
Ruger's New SR 1911 , Is a great example of a Company entering the 1911 Style pistol, Great firearm, Love mine, Best $$$$$ Ever spent on a Pistol that Retails under $1,000 bucks.
Thanks. The more I've read about it, it's the way to go (especially with their non-staked plunger tube which can break off...like it did on my Colt Officers).
@@apuzyr LLama 1911s have had screws securing the plunger tube to tapped frames for 20 years.
Love 1911s I collect them and all colts! Best gun ever 😋💕
Just bought a Tisas D10 1911 in 10mm. It runs great!!
I just purchased my first firearm, A 1911 9mm Kimber Nightstar Custom LW. As I'm relatively new to gun ownership, I think this channel will be a Godsend for me! I look forward to watching more of your content and learning all I can.
You picked a heck of a nice pistol for your first firearm!
@@jkconner9636 Thanks! I plan on getting my conceal carry permit, soon. So, I picked up, while I could find one, a Kimber Micro 9, a few days after buying the 1911. I'm getting a membership at a local range and will finally be able to fire some rounds out of them!!
Thank you for this video I just picked up a 1911 my 1st time shooting the style of handgun. Straightforward and easy to understand 👍
Matt, thanks for the excellent video. Matt Stamp also has a good video on drawing and handling a 1911 for further instruction.
I just ordered my Springfield mc operator. This video was helpful
That S&W Performance Center 1911 is pretty sweet looking!
It is a fine 1911. I really like it! Thanks for watching!
Yeah it is!!
Combat instructor, Colt 1911 (CCW)
On first draw, hammer DOWN, round chambered ---> Amber
Unholster, hammer cocked, Safety engaged ---> Orange
Neutralize Threat ---> Red
Safety Engaged, Holster ---> Amber (Hammer cocked)
When clearing in safe conditions, safety disengaged, decock hammer, thumb and index fingers with left hand, weapon skywards. ---> Amber
Final clearing, remove magazine, lock slide, eject round, inspect, decock hammer with left hand, holster---> Green

This prevents negligent discharge.
Thanks for this just got a Springfield m1911 custom. This video helps a lot
Excellent instruction thank you sir
Good stuff as always Matt. Another bucket list item. :)
Thanks, Lyle!
Lyle Caudill Is That similar to the PSP 07 Steven Seagal used in Marked for Death
My two cents...
1911 is for .45 ACP. (Or .38 Super Auto if you must) Browning Hi-Power is for 9mm. 😋
I have 5 1911s. All .45s I LOVE them, I do not always carry one, but when I do, I feel very well armed. I switch out between a Kimber Ultra Carry, a S&W Model 642 or a S&W .380 Bodyguard...all depending on my wardrobe for that day. When the weather allows, I will take one of my full size or Commander models, or a Browning Hi-Power for a walk, but I live in a warm climate and it is not always practical to wear an adequate cover garment for the bigger guns. I do not like IWB carry, so I am usually packing the Kimber Ultra Carry when I carry a 1911.
Very good explanation!
Most videos forget to mention the 3rd safety, which is the half cocked safety. Good video though.
And the 4th safety, the rusty one between most people's ears ...
Just about every gun-maker makes a 1911, except maybe Beretta and Glock. Aftermarket parts are also plentiful. From Brownells, Kimber, etc. Tons of parts out there for customizing any 1911 available to the market.
Shall we assume you have a point?
Read about Sgt. Alvin York, his 1911, and the 132 German prisoners ( plus those that rushed him ) ...
great video. I just purchased that exact 1911! love my S&W. great firearm.
Yes it is. It's the best 1911 I've owned. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of yours! Thanks for watching!
The first time I broke it down to clean it I use the barrel bushing tool and when it released the pressure, the spring cap went flying. Do you have any suggestions to keep that thing from flying out into space
put your hand over recoil plug.
Yep, that's what I did. I have the full length rod so the plug sits higher. Had to get used to it and not be paranoid it wasn't going to fire across the room and take out someone. W/o the S&W tool I can use the bottom of the 7 rd magazine in a pinch just fine.
May I inquire as to what exact 1911 you are using in the video?
Awesome vid! One step closer to finally being able to own one.
'Beavertail backstrap safety', aka: grip safety. 😉
Wrong.
A beavertail is an enlongation modification of the grip safety that often includes a relief cut for the hammer spur.
I don't know what and have never heard of a "back strap safety".
2:00
Some polymer striker fire guns also have manual safeties. I prefer thst, but a safety, personally. It’s not hard to use a gun with a safety. You just train with it, the same as you do any other gun feature.
great video,
nice 1911.
Thank you. That S&W is a great 1911. Thanks for watching!
on the browning 22 version the hammer wont fall even with both safeties off if theres no magazine in
NEVER dry fire a 22cal no matter what gun you have rifle or handgun..... It will screw up the chamber.....You have been warned...
Matt, I just purchased a Springfield EMP Contour Carry, my first 1911. Really appreciate this video on how to run a 1911. Great video.
Bob P I jst got my first 1911 a week ago...springfield loaded stainless steel.....I freaken can't stop admiring it..I feel like a kid in Christmas that gets the toy he wants and u always have that toy with u!!!!! lol by the way..ur gun is awesome....not a 9mm fan but I still like it!
Oscar, I hope Springfield did better QC on yours. Haven't shot mine yet, failed before the first round and was sent back to Springfield for repair of faulty take down pin retention. Hope to get it back today.
Bob P cocked and locked
Cocked and locked
Bob P it works great...the last round always gets caught and it's a failure to feed...but that's not the gun...ita the sucky magazines they provide h with...so I bought a kimpro tac mag and a chip McCormick one....i haven't tried them yet but I'm sure they will do jst fine...sorry to hear about that bud....that sucks man.
Thanks for the safety information!
Great video!
love the M1911
1911's,Harley's, Mustang's, Vett's.... and the beat goes on.
BeastDr ok.... you don't pluralize by adding an apostrophe and an "s" to a word. This is just basic English grammar. Of course, Americans don't have real good grasp of basic English grammar anyway.
Beastdr sorry about paintherwhite. He meant to correct you by saying. 1911s Harley's Camaros and 'Vettes
Surely, you aren't fool enough to compare the reliability of Harley Davidson to that of a 1911.
It's the pistol that refused to become obsolete.
Thanks great video for my chiappa 1911-22
Excellent video, as always. Q: Why is the 1911 still being made? A: Because they're so popular. Q: Why are they so popular? A: Because they're that good! Name one other piece of technology from around 1911 that's still in production, other than a revolver, let alone as wildly popular as the 1911.
John Moses Browning was a genius. His designs have stood the test of time! Thanks for watching!
its the easiest gun to shoot, that's it's real claim to fame
Matthew Robinson, one word: reliable. I used the M1911A1 in combat.in all types of terrain conditions. Even the annual monsoons couldn't kill it. I never cleaned it in country. It was more abused than me, but always faithful. I hope that answered your question, Matt.
My fevorit gun 1911
Wait wait! I'm confused. Was that safety on before or after the safety off or was he safety off before it was on? :-)
Seriously you do a really good job on these RUclipss. you are more down-to-earth than a good many of the others. I think you're on the same track as Hitchcock 45 in terms of being practical.
Thanks!
Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it.
It’s hickock45
It goes like this. Safety of shoot safety on re-holster
nice sir..simple and basic instrction ,more teaching gun safety.
Excellent !
I have ran with a 1911 but never ran one! I do,shoot them a lot and love the pistol! The new terminologies don’t make sense. Some kid came up with the word substitute for shooting because it sounded cool! Hahahahaha!
Judging from the cartoons on your channel I would doubt you've ever held a 1911. But anyway, there is more to the proper use of a sidearm in multiple shooting positions and scenarios . What's the use, obviously your an idiot.
@@rationalmind6362 hahahahaha! Ok troll! Your comment is expected from ones that want to be cool! You pick up a catch phrase and use it to sound experience! Hahahahaha! I seen many like you! I carried and qualified with a pistol 18 of my 20 years in the Marine Corp from 1968 to 1988 and had to use that piss poor performer 9mm the Corp adopted my last year but the rest of the years i carried a 1911. By they way I carry a Kimber Ultra carry as my every day carry side arm. Hahahahaha ! Go troll someone else Nimrod! Hahahahaha!
@@garyjcsizmar4636 . So you're telling me you are a 70 yrs old marine with an anime fetish. Ok, 👍,. Enjoy your 1911 pistol little buddy.
I just got the SDS 19119MM A1 WW2 looks just like the ww2 a1 just a bigger ejection port it comes with 389.99
Best weapons I own

Great tip on keeping your thumb on top the safety. I wonder though, would comfort & or reaching the trigger allow to break that rule ??? Subscribed & Liked as usual Sir.
Great stuff Matt.. that S&W PC is beautiful .
Yes it is. I love that 1911. Will probably change out the sights one of these days.
Thank you for this video!
Wax on wax off
lol, I'll bet he's really good at 'quick un-drawing' as well as quick drawing!
DANIEL SAN!!!!!
@@clicheguevara5282 bwahahaha I just wrote that same thing before I seen yours
Any suggestions for a fellow lefty with dainty girly hands that can’t properly grip a 1911?
A Glock
Chop your left hand off and replace it with a robot arm with comically large fingers so you're forced to adapt to right hand
My new 1911-A1 is new. It’s has quite a few failures to eject. Is this due to not being broke in yet?
Yes. Stovepipes are common in the beginning, depending on the brand. I got a lot of them in my first few hundred rounds with my current one; I'm now more than 2000 in. My dad and I just shot 700 rounds in a range day at steel targets a few days ago and neither of us had a single issue.
"Limp wristing" is another cause ...
Have you had any experience with the subcompact S&W,1911,in .45 caliber? I would really like to get 3.5 to 3" barrelled 1911 in .45,but have not found one I would bet my life with? The three Kimbers ,and the Colt officers were not reliable,the only totally reliable,.45 1911,has been my Wilson Combat,ultralight commander,but they dont make one in .45,that small.
I have a Bersa Thunder .40 S&W, DA/SA, 1911 style, compact, 7" total length, safety/decocker, 13 round I think. Probably made in the 90s. It's all metal and a little bit heavy in my small hands, leading to barrel drop.
Is there any reason why decockers seem relatively uncommon? Is it safe to use decockers with a round in the chamber prior to reholstering?
Forgot to mention the hammer half back safety, trigger won’t move with the hammer cocked half way
That’s not a true safety. It’s really only there, in case the hammer slips, when you’re lowering it, so it doesn’t fall on a live round.
Thanks for information
Perfect video thank you
Refine a lefty handed version. I own 5 1911’s and would love a fully ambidextrous 1911. Not even high dollar custom 1911’s will come with a ambidextrous mag release only ambidextrous safety. You’re a lefty so you know what I mean. It’s the only reason I don’t have a 1911 as my edc. Another reason I own 6 FNs 100% ambidextrous.
If you want an ambi mag release, pay the $100 and quit whining.
Personally, it doesn't hurt my feelings to use my left index finger to dump the magazine.
Great video brother! Does keeping the thumb on to of the safety interfere with the slide while shooting? I just bought a RIA 1911 and haven’t shot it yet but I like your advice, just wondering if thumb would snag on the slide though
I've noticed riding the safety with my thumb occasionally my thumb is too tight to the slide and occasionally it'll fail to go into battery
Old fashioned classic that most like but few carry everyday never really was meant to be carried cocked and locked But still a big seller. Glock please
Great video sir
I tried using a leash but it didn't work out so well
great safe there bro
Safe? Cabinet, maybe.
I’m left handed too! I love it lol
Thanks!
Good instructional vid...
2:54 can you put ambi safety on any gun you want? im a lefty too
What purpose does a 9mm 1911 serve when .45 acp and .38 super cover the spectrum?
F R E E D O M .
SUPPLY and DEMAND.
Free Market.
Choice.
9mm probably has less recoil. Some people hate the recoil of higher calibers
You’re a lefty but drawing with your right hand?
Beautiful gun
I love my SA Champion
Nice gun! Would say these 1911”s are more range guns as they have too many things going on to remember to do in a stressful situation. I prefer no safety’s striker fire fired double action
"Too many things going on to remember to do in a stressful situation".
Yeah, flipping the safety off and pulling the trigger gets pretty overwhelming, I suppose.
You should probably hone your knife throwing skills.
@@murphroberts4891 😂
Hi Sir I am a lefty Too, thanks
Would you have the mag release switched to the opposite side too? (If you bought a right handed 1911).
Great video.
Can someone tell me what model his 1911 is?
2:00…..he said beaver…ha ha.
If my mind serves me right the 1911 was a colt classic not browning...
I'm thinking about switching my EDC to my Colt Defender
So? You aren't the only one thinking.
Thanks for the video brother. Just purchased my first 1911. Do you have any videos on how to properly clean a 1911?
No. He does not.
Field strip the gun.
Clean it thoroughly.
Reassemble it.
have a government colt 1 month..wish i could take it back..nothin but heartache
First I've heard of "running" gun.
Yes, JM Browning was a genius, and he would have RIDICULED how someone mutilated that 1911 that you're holding, with all the cuts in barrel & slide, JEEEEZZ.
Oh,and the way,a 1911 has two reliable safeties,your walking around with a glock cocked,with a plastic trigger safety,you just dont see a hammer,but that stiker,unseen will kill you also?
Need some work on those English communication skills.
Can you explain the guns hammer how to use
So with 1911s you are supposed to keep the gun in single action(hammer engaged) in the holster?
yep
Yep, cocked and locked
Power to the lefty !!
Thanks for the great video. I'm new to the 1911 platform. If the pistol is in position 1 and then want to clear the pistol. After removing the magazine, is it safe to rack the slide and eject the round in the chamber or is it necessary to drop the hammer prior to racking the slide? Thank you
Drop the magazine. Rack the slide to eject last round. Rack again for visual inspection. That’s how I was taught to clear this weapon.
