nice! I was unhappy with SA for awhile too, but got over it... I was mad at Ruger when they proposed reduced capacity, and SW over Hillary holes... can't stay mad at everybody.
Pick mine up on Tues. It was supposed to be my 50th birthday present, but my amazing wife got it for me 5 years early. It’s my dream gun. I’ve only seen one other one in a store in 20 years. Found one in Sacramento. So excited.
Congratulations brother I have a trp longslide and Dan Wesson specialist but the custom is a dreamer for me also…love to rest one at 25&50 see what she’d do
I should be receiving word that mine, ordered nearly two years ago, is completed and ready to be shipped. I can't say I can't wait; because I have been waiting for a long time. So, I'll say, I look forward to getting it, shooting it, and passing it down to my children.
2 years!!!! ouch. That's worse than waiting for a pending Form 4! LOL. Well do let me know when it finally gets to you. I'm wondering how yours will be. And wow 24 months is almost like waiting for my Series 70 that went off to a smith but he is a one man shop.
The worse thing was trying to be disciplined enough to set aside the money to pay for the darned thing. I failed miserably! I'd see a gun I wanted, then I'd tell myself, "Go on and get it. That Custom Shop gun won't be ready for two years." Many gun purchases later, I find myself up against it. Now, I have to get the money together by May 17th, 2019, or fall to the back of the line for another two years. I guess the commemorative edition M17, the Archon Type B and the Wilson Combat Brigadier Vertec will have to wait? DISCIPLINE! I'll definitely let you know how it turns out.
I like it, but the slide seems really tight. I have a S&W 1911 in my 1911 collection, and it’s difficult to overcome the mainspring hammer. My Colts and Rugers require half the effort. Thanks for sharing!
All political positions aside, that is one really nice 1911! I’ve had the opportunity to hold and look over this model and SA’s comparable 1911s. Very impressive! Thanks for taking this ‘from the safe!’
keep up the good work i appreciate the vids. i remember watching your vids months ago over the 1911 platform as i was still looking into my first handgun purchase. i ended up going with an hk usp compact. i feel i made the better choice haha a 1911 is definetely in my future though! take care all
People need to get over it, if you aren’t happy with Springfield, no ones forcing you to buy one so keep your negativity and self righteousness out of comment sections.
Im glad you addressed the Springfield crap. Never buy from them again. There are too many pro 2A gun companies out there to support. You're friend is a good man that stands on his word. *Vote with your dollar*
An "oldie but a goodie" if there ever was one, both in upload & in firearm. All politics & BS aside, if my life were truly on the line, I'd without hesitation be willing to hide behind one of these.
Looks really nice, but as I watching the video I'm handling my EDC a Colt Rail Gun, and maybe it's just I have a history with this one and have put a ton of rounds through it, carried it every day for quite a while, but I think I would still prefer my Rail gun over this. Plus I prefer Colt even though they have their bad PR days to.
A lot of people still to this day won’t buy Springfield guns because of what they did, they made numerous apology’s for what happened but a lot of people won’t except it , I guess they don’t believe giving someone a second chance and they must not have never done something they wished they had not done, but I expected it but I will keep a close watch on them, and if people ever really looked into all of the major manufacturers they all have done some shady shit, and I think Springfield makes the best 1911s on the market and I just like about any gun they make,
No.... this was a gun I borrowed for videos. At the time my friend would not let me shoot it because he never shot it. He kept it in his safe for over 1 year doing nothing. This guy.....LOL. then he sold it in December 2017 for like nothing which is insane. I just couldn't buy it off him even though it was a deal of a lifetime. I think I have an old video about the holster he bought for it but no range footage.
I'm buying the TRP soon. I own a stainless steel loaded venison and it's very nice...I'm very pleased with it so I was jst gonna buy the same one but parkerized..but once I felt that TRP in my hands......that was the end of that....the only thing now is convincing my wife why I need another 1911......smh
So this friend never fired a custom gun, sells it below for what's worth... that dog don't hunt. What's the point of having a gun you can't fire? Maybe if you had Colt Walker or a Chris Kyle TRP, but a gun is a tool, use it.
that's a retarded point of view to have. it's not the company that made the decision. the company is not a democracy. it's ran by businessmen. ONE of them decided to do what HE wanted and now you condemn an entire company of honorable Americans making some fine American firearms. people with the anti-springfield mindset are no better than democrats. they heard the opinion of some ignorant or idiotic person on youtube or whatever form of social media and just accepted the opinion as their own without putting any thought into it. it's the most sheep mindset i've ever seen republicans take. it's despicable.
@timmy _ AN executive, decided of his own volition, to support anti-gun policy. he was later fired and the company said they did not agree with him. now all these retarded youtube warriors who saw a channel say springfield bad, refuse to think for themselves and echo the mindless chants of those who are emotionally retarded.
I remember the old video. All the death threats and shaming, talk about bad timing, huh? Did you also delete the Nighthawk HI-Power vid or did I just imagine it existing?
LOL yeah and I honestly hadn't heard the news yet because most of my vids are "scheduled" so it was already ready to go live and I don't really keep track of what vid goes live when.... aw well. No that vid was suspended? This is the thing lots of my vids seem to get put on hold or are under review. All started happening last year. And I have to do something to get them released it seems. But that gun actually moved on (sold). i'll take a look at that vid to get that one live again.
guns built that tight are simply built wrong. look at accuracy x or chambers custom. both of those will put up sub 1.5" 10 round groups at 50 yards and neither are tight. they're beyond smooth and they dont need to be broke in because they're built correctly. it's just stupid rational that is responsible for people thinking the gun should be so tight. the most accurate rifles aren't tight... they're just built well. les baer's break themselves apart as they 'break in'. that's not right. their accuracy quickly drops off and the geometry of the gun changes. same with these springfields. wilson, baer, and brown are not top end guns. they've been touted by the gun writers who make money by giving favorable reviews. that's nearly anyone who has written a published article on a gun. the best guns you can get are accuracy x, chambers custom, and stan chens. they are built correctly. less than that, there's nothing that a dan wesson wont do that a wilson, brown, or baer will do. superb brand ignorance. just dumb.

Not sure what a SA Professioan in 45 ACP retails for today in Dec 2023...but I'm guessing still less than an entry'level Wilson at $2800...but more than the DW's....making SW guns a "good value" even if they arentt considered "cheap" to many....Not crazy about hte pink coloured grips they're putting on their professional guns today...or "pink hue"....easily replaceable but still....why put "pink-sish tone" grips on a gun "stock"....
I HAVE 3 PROFESSIONALS . 1 NON-RAILED AND 2 RAILED... I LOVE THE GUNS , THEY ARE BUILT SO WELL BUT I DON'T THINK I WOULD BUY FROM THEM AT LEAST FOR NOW. I FEEL TOO STRONGLY ABOUT THE 2ND AMENDMENT .

Awesome video. The professional model is a dream gun for me. Politics aside. SA makes good 1911’s
from what i recall this 1911 was super slick and just super nice.

It would've been funny if they put it in an 'Evidence' bag instead of a regular plastic bag
I never really thought my Wilson combat was close to the 1911 pro. Not at all
I'm surprised there aren't more videos out there on this model.
I like it, but the slide seems really tight. I have a S&W 1911 in my 1911 collection, and it’s difficult to overcome the mainspring hammer. My Colts and Rugers require half the effort. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful 1911. Thank you for posting/sharing. -Dave in CT
If I were a rich man... I'd have a 1911 collection, and that collection would start with including one (or more) of these.
I wish we could have gotten at least 1 shot of the markings on this tool. Good post and thank you.
If I recall the owner did not want me to so I respected his wishes.
All political positions aside, that is one really nice 1911!
I’ve had the opportunity to hold and look over this model and SA’s comparable 1911s. Very impressive!
