HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
- The Springfield Armory Garrison 1911 4.25" Model in 45 ACP is a no frills handgun with just the right upgrades to make it a great self defense pistol. The original 5" model Garrison 1911 is a 5" barrel model with the same features. Thanks to @SpringfieldArmoryInc for sending the Garrison 1911 4.25 model for this review.

Absolutely love Commander size 1911s. They sell so quickly around here you rarely see them in the shops.
Always a big fan of all metal, with perhaps some wood, guns. AKs, 1911s, and revolvers always get my heart beating a little faster. I like polymer, too, but they're like basic utility vehicles compared to classic muscle cars.
Totally agree!
1911 is the most good looking pistol ever made
Good to know that it has a fully-supported feed ramp.
Oh, the sweet, sweet sound and feel of a .45 acp. I've got my Government Garrison 2 years ago and now almost 10k rounds through. Only hiccup was some underpowered loads from Reman ammo. I'm sure this commander size will perform as well. Great vid!
The 45 ACP punch combined with the shorter barrel length makes it a formidable option for concealed carry or home defense.
It's ironic you mention that because the shorter barrel length actually reduces the punch of the 45 ACP round quite a bit per inch you reduce it by. That's why John Browning specifically chose the 5 inch barrel and I believe he was never consulted with the commander model. I don't think that was something he would have gone for.
They are fine weapons but 45 ACP already has enough trouble expanding because of its slow velocity when you start going beneath a 5 inch barrel length you best just carry full metal jacket ammunition. 230 grain heavy rounds especially standard pressure don't really expand. Fortunately they have a half inch diameter regardless but then over penetration becomes an issue. I hate to say it but 9 mm round technology has eclipsed the 45 and this is coming from a guy who only carried a 45 for many years.
That being said I don't want to be the old timers I would see when I was a young man who refused to adapt and died with the rolling tied. I will swim with it instead. So thusly 9 mm is the future if you want a 45 you're really should keep the barrel at 5 in or go with a different caliber imo
*sootch00*Hay sootch, sweet shooter you got there, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. GOD Bless brother.
Thanks Kevin! Hope you're doing well my friend
God Bless you and yours
A single stacked featureless 1911. WOW!!
ya ..i wonder if these guys know about 21 round mags...old farts
Cool and classy, Obviously two things that you can’t relate to…😢
@@bornfuct Only for piss poor shot.
This is an outstanding video that not only showcases this 1911, but details the differences between the full house 5” design and the 4.5” commander design. Great job. I gotta get one of these.
One good looking gun 👍
As always super great review. Thanks for sharing
Totally agree with all your reasons for why you like this 1911 pistol.
These 1911s in .45 from Springfield are beautiful. Wish you would do reviews of some other 1911s from Springfield too. Also, I just want to say, thank you for all the gun reviews you have done over the years. I'm sure it is alot of work. But they are great! Well done, Don!
Mister sootch soy un Ex Infante de marina veterano de la guerra de las Malvinas y conozco muy bien el sistema de la spinfield 45 acp es igual a las colt o las Ballester molina de fabricacion Argentina yo tube 1 en la guerra y muy buenos resultados mi padre tubo una colt y son incomparables en su funcionamiento mis saludos desde la Argentina 😀🇦🇷✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s a good looking 1911 there Sootch, I love Springfield pistols as I’m fortunate to own several XD’s, Operators, and a TRP…You Sir have me licking my chops for this one! Thanks again sir!👍👍👍
Thanks for stopping by Kenny!
Sootch00 makes some of THE best gun review videos on YT 👍👍
I bought this pistol as a birthday gift to myself partly based on this review. I was considering the EMP Ronin 9mm for a long time but didn't like the idea that the frame is aluminum alloy. I am eating at an Amish-style restaurant with Mennonite ownership today with my pastor as a birthday meal. Why? It is pie (pi) day and they are excellent with pies. Great video.
Awesome video nice Springfield armory 1911 thanks for sharing sootch00
I love that gun!!!! It looks sweet,and feels sweet.I went to RUclips right after learning about it at the gun shop.That is a real deal 1911 for the price.You can’t beat that!!!!
The tactical response pistol sounds cool too
Thanks for the info. Your details are very informative and helpful. Thats why i like watching ur videos.
Always a great review pointing me in the right direction. Am a Springfield fan and this is next on my purchase plan. Thanks again.
Thanks Ramone!
Like always, excellent!!!
Good gun, good review, thanks
The Recoil Control on this 45 acp is Exceptional
A 45 For the Future!
Excellent Work and Machining Springfield Armoury!
Beautiful
The Fed Chose Very Well!
Thanks for Malta!
Regards and Respect!

Would look beautiful with some stag grips and a matching Randall knife ❤
Awesome review Awesome Channel Awesome and beautiful gun❤👍🏻👍🏻
My very first gun-and always my favorite-is my Stainless Colt Combat Commander I bought while I was still in the Army in the late 80s. I think I’m gonna grab a Stainless one to bookend my collection. I have a half dozen Springfield .45s already, all the XD models, a Garrison, the bare bone’s government model they brought out (WW2 model), and another full sized one. I might as well grab one, since that original Combat Commander has been my favorite since time began. I’m sure this Springfield will cost about three times more than that Colt did back in the 80s, but I know what I’ll be getting, and know it’ll shoot great.
These things are going to sell like CRAZY.
they're just something about the 1911 that feels so natural when I had my VERY basic firearms training in the USN the Gunners made Senior Chief said you have experienced this I told him never with pistol he told the first class keep an eye on him he's a natural
Excellent firearm
Good to see that Springfield is offering a Hollywood pistol that requires no reloading from the opening ha ha. I love a 1911, one of the great design of John Browning. I still haven’t picked up a pair of Colt Officers models that been a long term goals I wouldn’t consider an aluminum frame but a nice stainless steel pair would be great. Maybe for my birthday 2024.
The Commander size is my favorite
Eterna como el calibre 45 lo mejor de todos los tiempos!! Saludos🇦🇷
That is a beautiful gun.
No rail. Not optics ready. Why should I want it in this modern day? Because it's perfection. God bless John Moses Browning.
Springfield is doing good things with Firearms 🏆
I wish they would make exactly this pistol with front strap checkering. Man oh man I would buy that instantly.
I kinda prefer it without.
@@Mattlock52 Well you're in luck, then.
I put a formed piece of Talon granulate grip material on the front of my blued government model. Looks nice and allows for as very firm grip on the pistol. The Garrison is one hell of a nice 1911!
I Got two 1911s.
Ria Entry FS - so accurate, perfect in Quality
And Old Springfield from 90s - Just taste the history...
I still like THEIR Ronin 4" Beautiful You show 2 years ago
Looking good
Your review is too late Sootch. Bought one on Monday! ;) Awesome 1911. I also have a Springfield Ronin Commander. You just can't go wrong with a Springfield 1911. Thanks for the review of my newest gun! :)
Thanks Brother! Springfield 1911's are top notch.
Ive used the 5 inch with the absolute cheapest mags you can buy without issue. Its a great all around pistol.
Good show sootch !! Bout time you tested a real hand gun and a good choice!! Now back that up with a New colt Commander... maybe the new SE or Willie Clapp
That was my first style handgun Colt 4.25 inch stainless combat commander
Ok Don were you reading my mind! This is going to be my next purchase and I was actually looking to see if you had done a review on the garrison but saw you only had one on the ronin series! 😂👍
Thanks for stopping by and glad to help! 😁
Sootch00 got a new gun! Let's all go see!
I really miss the officers model. This one is a little larger but a great addition for collectors.
If, ONLY They put that energy into, a 2011. I am Blessed to have an Armond Swenson 1911 that I found @ a mom & pop, Gun store @ $400. !!! Everyone tries to buy it... & Irony of Irony's. The "Springfield " ZD, Has been solid. & Never let me down
Nice
Would liked to see close up of the ramped barrel.
I'm sure lots of people consider recoil management and muzzle flip a lot . As you mentioned the 9 mm is the hot choice nowadays. And people are putting compensators and lightened\lightning cut slides on their 9mm pistols. And changing out recoil springs. All to lessen recoil on a 9 mm.
If they would just try an all steel frame\slide pistol like a 1911\2011 they'd be amazed at the way they don't muzzle flip compared to polymer framed pistols.
Springfield offers lots of 1911s in .45 acp & 9mm. Their choices are
FS = full size, 5" barrel, 8 rounds
MS = medium size, 4.2" -4.3" barrel model dependent, 7\8 rounds
CS = compact size, 3.3" - 3.5" barrel, 7 rounds.
BBR = small as hell, 3.10" barrel double stack 10+1 rounds.
And they have double stack 1911s in both .45 acp and 9 mm. 14+1 rounds in .45 acp, 20+1 rounds in 9 mm.
They have aluminum and steel framed MS\medium sized offerings.
I have a Colt Commander tuned up at Terry Tussey's Shop in Carson City, Nevada. Sweet shooting piece. Also have a Les Baer Concept VII (Commander) that is so nice. Commander size 1911s is pretty much the perfect size personal defense handgun. Even Jeff Cooper praised the feel and size of the commander. Put a commander size in your hand wiggle and wave it around a bit---after double checking it to ensure it is empty. Then do the same with a full size government 1911. The government size feels just a bit too big and the Commander feels just right. My commander sized 1911s are the better size for CCW over the full size.
When Springfield use super thin grips, they have to use super thin grip bushings. So they won't fit swapping new grips on them as all over grips use regular size bushings. So you have to buy regular size grip bushings, remove the factory super thin bushings, screw in the regular bushings, now you can install new G10s, Pachmayrs, Hogues, etc.
Both this commander and the government have their purposes. This is the ideal concealed carry 1911 in my opinion, while the government is best suited for a home defense sidearm. All I’d do to these garrison models are some hogue walnut grips, trijicon night sights, and arched mainspring housings. For some reason the a1 has always been natural to shoot for me along with revolvers, but I did wish they had the long trigger. I blame it on xl glove size hands with decently big palms and long fingers.
I just picked up a Tisas 1911 9mm Carry & I love it. For some reason, when I held a Garrison, it just didn't fit my hands also my hand didn't like G.I. 1911s ether.
Man, i wish my kimber take down design was identical to this. All my fellow kimber club mimbers agree, lol
Super, Bomba🤩👍💪✊️
Sootch what do you think of the survival rifle from henry? I'm thinking of buying it as a first 22 rifle, I'm getting into 22 rifles
Springfield Armory has priced their 1911s too high for 2024. They were a good bargain. But after most guntubers started getting SA 1911s sent to them to review on their channels and gave glowing reviews Springfield Armory jacked their prices up anywhere from $100 to $250 depending on model. Their laser engraving of their new logo back on each side of slide, near the safety and stopped putting SPRINGFIELD ARMORY GARRISON (or whatever model name) gigantic across the entire side of the slide being the only big improvement. I'm not a fanf how SA changed and went away from the standard guide rods and barrel sleeves. Screw in guide rod, or guide rod with a pinhole and loose barrel sleeve. So depending on which Springfield Armory 1911 model you buy your guide rod and barrel design are gonna vary. I prefer the true 1911 guide rod assemblies. Full length or partial, it's preference. But true 1911 design.
You can't be a 1911 snob if you rock a Phillipine made 1911. The value is nearly gone now in a Springfield Armory 1911. Once you get to $599 and above there are LOTS of excellent, i mean excellent, firearms from the best manufacturers available. Maybe not a 1911, but better than a 1911.
I was testing my neighbor's Springfield Garrison government model when the extractor failed. These things can happen, but in a brand new firearm I was very disturbed.
Dearr Don, could you please review only the way youcan the Taurus TH45? Thanks Dwight
Love it! She is..... ❤ BEAUTIFUL ❤
Me: " Hello IRS refund!"
* Watches video *
Me: " Goodbye IRS refund!"
That 115 grain 9mm you were shooting at the target was making 45acp sized holes!!!
That's the beautiful, but I don't know how many 45 caliber. Handguns, do they have to make especially the 1911?
Happy Chinese New Year 😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Please review the Staccato P.
My first handgun was a Colt Combat Commander. They just look better than the 5" 1911, IMO.
Que buena pistola amigo me gustaría tener una de esas en mexico
Last question that I forgot to ask…. Is there a full length guide rod available for this model?
So this one's in-between the mil-spec and the Ronin?
a lot of "Experts" shit-talk 1911's... but I sure as heck wouldn't consider an adversary equipped with a 1911 as significantly handicapped!!
Scootch i have colt combat cammander 70s 45 gave 500 for it 30 years ago still driven tacks
Love ya vids bro
How'd you get barrel bushing off so effortlessly? My springfield is tight as hell
Great review, Sootch. Personally, a single stack 1911 is not my preference, but I can certainly appreciate their craftsmanship and history.
Sootch do you find it just as easy to conceal a 2011 than a 1911? Every now and then in the reviews I’d like to hear about what you thought as far as comfort carrying it. Love the show!
Generally speaking if you wear a shirt like a flannel, a 1911 should be easier to conceal with the proper belt (Hanks for leather, Kore for synethic, etc.) because something like an AIWB holster with a wing will push the grip closer into your body. Due to its thinness it makes it easier to conceal as well versus double stacks. If you cannot AIWB because of weight or some other issue, then it's probably not a good idea to conceal a 1911 with a full sized grip. It most likely will print 3-4 o clock. 2011s have similar slides/control width depending on the brand but generally speaking the thicker grips will print more, especially if all you wear is a t-shirt.
I'm going to carry a hammer gun it's going to be some form of CZ
Oh yeah, a Colt.
Hi
1)Norinco 1911 9mm 10rd 2024 version good gun ??

Greetings from Buenos Aires - Argentina. My opinion: the 1911 in its different flavors is an iconic pistol. When a proven design really works (actually, has been working for more than a hundred years) why modify or change it.
Daniel Salvia un saludo desde México ,estoy de acuerdo contigo,más de 100 años y sigue funcionando para que cambiar, yo poseo una Remington Rand 1911A1 fabricada en 1945 y esta tan flamante como cuando nació, ajustada mejor que una series 80,viva Argentina 🇦🇷
Aunque tengo entendido que ustedes pueden poseer tenencia de arma de fuego corta hasta calibre .380. Un abrazo a los hermanos mexicanos ... !
Así es Daniel,podemos poseer para defensa domiciliaria ,hasta 380 en pistola y 38 spl. En revolver., portarla aunque la constitución dice que es un derecho de todo ciudadano honesto,la decisión depende de Secretaria de la Defensa, que siempre la niega,figúrate en un país de 112 millones de habitantes, solo hay dos tiendas oficiales del gobierno para vender armas ,entiéndase rifles escopetas, armas cortas, tienes que hacer una solicitud para cita,la cual tarda de seis a diez meses, y un inventario limitado,aunque la mayoría tiene en sus casas 9mm, 38 super ,45 acp,y más aunque sea ilegal las conservamos esa pistola que menciono esta en mi familia desde 1955 ,llego antes que yo,un saludo hasta Argentina
Bring on the Officers model Springfield. Oh, did I say that out loud?
Hey Sootch this 1911 looks like awesome, but i have my doubts. Is this gun 100% made in the USA?
Hey Joao, yes, it's made in the USA. Thanks
Better than Kimber
Anyone know what happened to Sgt 1911's channel?
🇺🇸
Why does 40 seem like an ideal caliber for this platform? From dum dum to Critical Defense and Sig V Crown, ammo tech has improved.
❤
Those old school pistols are sooo sexy! 😊
Can you confirm if the Garrison is a series 70 or series 80?
70
Dear sootch00 the target scan is wrong you shoot 45 acp gun and you write 9mm fmj 115 grn on your target..
Sir i want to buy one
Like the gun but why for the price can’t they put front strap checkering all of them are smooth now cheap WTH
The US military is still issuing 1911's. I got corrected on this the other day and had to look it up. MP's are still issued them in some units and special forces, delta force, etc still use 1911's.
15 yrs ago.
@@Mattlock52 not from what i have read.
Can you do a review on the smith and Wesson M&P Sport II AR-15 style rifle? I personally think it’s a great firearm.
alot of other channels already have
Colt 1911 .45acp...The King!
where is this made brazil?
Anyone think this would be a good EDC gun?
What happens if you leave the hammer down and engage the safety? Does it engage?
The safety will not engage unless the hammer is cocked. Thanks
@@sootch00 Thanks Sootch
If only Springfield would stop using MIM internals… slide stop, thumb safety.
I agree this is the best bang for the buck I can see. 5" for me, thinking of a stainless but this blue could be too nice to pass up.
an its a series 70
