Not for self defence buddy 10mm is way to much why do you think jmb made the 45 ? They tested it on cadavers an pigs. 10milly is like shooting a magnum at a person total useless, goes thru the body not stay in the body !!!
@@keithmaxwell2169 estoy de acuerdo contigo Keith,no importa la marca Remington,Ithaca, Springfield,Colt,o cualquier otra, la 1911 es Browning un saludo please use te translator
i could tell how buttery that slide was the first time you pulled it back, the sound alone was enough to tell it sounds soo smooth and clean. its looks and sounds incredibly satisfying to pull
As a fellow 1911 owner, I'll give you a heads-up: John Moses Browning designed this pistol to be carried in Condition 1 Safe (round chambered, hammer back, slidelock safety engaged). I know you said you like Glocks, and while I'll admit that they're difficult to render nonfunctional and shoot great, I prefer something steel-framed. Because if I run out of ammo, and need to utilize the pistol as a 'blunt force trauma' weapon, I gotta know the thing will survive it
@@Roshan_420 so? Lightweight and more fragile does not work well when you need to beat people with it. If you bought the right weapon the first time you wouldn't need to buy any extra parts and make extra work that you shouldn't need to do. Save that money to buy a second weapon. Or a better version of the first, you know whatever. I'm biased, I like 1911's, steel, no plastic.
I can tell by the sound that the slide is smooth and effortless. You laughing after you shoot cracks me up, I'm glad to see you healed up from that .50 explosion.
I picked up a used Colt government 1911 a few years ago for $1500 because it most closely resembled the one I carried as an MP at Quantico in the 80s. Turns out it was made in 1917....over 100 years old and shoots accurate and smooth as butter
Wow the longer the slide the more room for a soft recoil spring. Slick and sick!!! Love that thing! My favorite is the Colt combat elite. After 3000 rounds it's getting smoother every time out.
He’s an excellent shot not gonna lie. That cinder block shot landed dang near in the same shot 1 handed from at least 9-10 yards. Doesn’t sound like much but to people who shoot, you know.
That's why I call him Deadshot Scott. There's a video of him shooting a S/W 500 3" barrel one handed from a good distance and pinging it every time. Not to mention every shot he makes. He hardly ever misses. He holds the world record of fastest 5 shots on target with a S/W 500 with that same shorty 500. I think it was less than 2 seconds.
I don't want to be taken wrong here, and I don't know if sarcasm is involved here, so I don't know if this is normal or a brag... but at 10 yards I can put a full magazine in a dime, even my bow is a nickle group at 10 yards. In the Infantry only about 5 of us hit expert, but chalked it up to not everyone can shoot 300m. Before the military I had a Crossman 760 pump BB rifle, fired a .22 target pistol and a .22 jr rifle of some sort. I really am not a regular shooter, but have done some since the military, now you hopefully see why I can't tell if this was true praise or not.
Regarding that butter smooth slide... Anyone who has ever shot/owned a 1911 can see how buttery smooth it is just by watching you rack the slide. Looks great!
Some of my best memories are being on the range with my dad. To be able to make a living doing that is amazing!! What a great thing to be able to share.
The 1911 is my all-time favorite gun. I wanted one since I was a teenager but went through some very challenging times for most of my adult life financial-wise. But about 2 years ago things got a lot better for my family and I was finally able to afford one. It's all I ever dreamed it would be. I am so thankful for the opportunity to own such an iconic gun.
Been messing with 1911's since 1983, as a M60 tank crewman, it was my sidearm. Bought a Colt M1991A1 in 97 when I got my carry permit and I still have it, but I carry a Glock 19 as a duty weapon. Not even Glock can come close to the trigger on a 1911. I never failed to qualify expert with a 1911. (But I've never failed getting 100% with my Glock either)😎 Yes Sir, definitely one of the best handguns ever made. Thanks for your videos, and I'm thankful God let you stay here a little longer!
And if it's fixed up properly it can also fire the 45 super 460 Rowland 450 SMC which brings a new height 45 ACP you remember in 1942 with the Thompson it fired a 215 grain bullet 1450 ft per second 14 inch barrel
Throwing the folded table gave me an idea, since you're sponsored and get tables for cheaper, will you ever take a look at how many tables various calibers will go through? I'll be fun to see the key holes and larger holes as more energy is transferred to the various layers as the bullet slows.
I have a Springfield Armory 1911 Long Slide (6" barrel in .45 ACP), and could hit milk jug caps out to 75 yards. But, that was a two decades ago and took 3 or 4 shots. Been collecting parts to someday build a high capacity, 6" barreled 2011 in 10mm.
In all seriousness my favorite is my first, it’s a para ordinance .45, I bought it used and it was dirty! I personally have put over 2k rounds of target ammo and cleaned it twice, once just because I wanted to tear it down to see how it operates, second just cause, I was broke and got a heck of a deal when I bought it, I’ve fired many others, I guess I’m biased a little. I also love my colt, but the first 1911 still remains completely accurate and faithful
My favorite 1911 is the RIA M1911 A1 .45ACP I bought a few months ago. My first 1911 and first .45ACP. It’s not as pretty as yours Scott, and the slide is more like a thick jam than butter, but it happily goes bang every time!
Thanks Scott for changing it up and posting actual reviews. The incessant bulletproof/penetration test videos flooding GunTube nowadays are getting quite old, and it's refreshing to see new content. Would love to see you review Wilson Combat's line of 1911's if you can get your hands on some...especially their Supergrade Commander Special.
That KB 1911, looks so damn cool and smooth! Gotta admit the sodas totally killed it 😂 Loved how they started spinning after every shot. Awesome vid as always Scott! 💖
The action on that slide is amazing, but if you want to eliminate that muzzle flip, replace the guide rod with a tungsten steel guide rod and heavier recoil spring. And if it is indeed your pleasure sir, compensate her.
Yeah but the G21 is better in almost every way possible. I will give that a really really good 1911 can hold up to a cheap modern 45acp pistol but not by much.
That’s why everybody always compares shooting a modern 45 ACP to a 1911, particularly the trigger. JMB was a genius the same way Mozart or Bach were, their creations are still timeless. 100 years from now people will have forgotten the pop stars and the polymer pistols of today but I’d bet the classics will still be played and 1911s will still be manufactured.
1911s are a genuine masterpiece of the firearm world. I have a full size Para Usa Elite Pro and a 3 inch Kimber Ultra Plus CDP. Both are outstanding handguns.
My favorite 1911 in my collection is my Para Black Ops. I converted the series 80 trigger to the series 70, (80 is too clunky) and it is so smooth and crisp, it's like a vivid wet dream. Lol
Actually that's true. 45acp is a weak round, all things considered. That extra inch or two of barrel helps a lot with velocity and therefore energy dumped on target.
@@trashcompactorYT Weaker than a 30-30 rifle I guess. IV8888 channel shot the 45acp ball ammo from a 16" carbine and at 440 yards, it penetrated 2-1/4" worth of pine boards. Punched right through. Rated at 614 FPS and almost 200 ft-lb at that range and still hits hard. Momentum penetrates.
Nice looking pistol. I can hear how smooth that slide is being a machinist. Nice tolerances. You should try the .460 Rowland conversion for that if they make a 6". I think you'll like it.
I have a Kimber .45 acp, one of the earlier models when they were still making them in Clackamas Oregon. I had a Bomar adjustable rear sight installed, which made it perfect for me. Puts nice big holes right where I want them. What more can you ask from a handgun?
Pretty amazing weapon! I was a squid from the 70's and 80's, and the colt(?) 1911 .45 cal. was the sidearm issued for shipboard security. My only complaint, was that they (the 1911 .45's) were probably from the vietnam war, and worn out pretty good. No target practice, just fam fire into the dirt berm (if you could hit it!). But yes, i agree, a six inch barrel would be a much more accurate and powerful weapon (especially if it wasn't 20 years old).
You probably had a GI grade 45 made by Remington in WWII. I have one of those that I don't think was ever issued. I can hit whatever I aim at with it. As long as it's taken care of and gets grease it can last a very long time. The problem is a lot of them weren't taken care of.
5:46..LOL! I am just glad you were sent a great new version of the 1911 when alot of manufacturers simply get that platform wrong. I am familiar with the gunsmithing feel of a perfectly made firearm you are talking about. That is truly an amazing feeling when you simply hold the firearm and cycle it as well as shoot it too. Alot of old handguns, rifles and shotguns have that feel. Great video, Kentucky Ballistics.
My favorite is my Kimber full size "conceal" 1911. All of the sharp edges have been smoothed down to allow for an easier draw. It gives the gun a very unique look and feel
Scott always finds a way to pick up extreme guns and show them for our viewing pleasure 👍 And the watermelon looked like it absorbed more energy when he slammed it to the ground than being shot with 45 acp😂
It’s crazy to me that Scott even has to add the whole “I like my Glocks” part all because as a gun RUclips channel he already knows glock fanboys are gonna come out of the woodwork saying what about the G20 long slide blah blah. If you are a true gun guy you should respect and love all quality firearms equally. I love Glock, I have a G21, 45acp but I went with a Kimber for my 10mm.
I’m not a huge fan of them but I do own one. For me it’s the geometry of the grips. But as someone who enjoys shooting. I won’t tell someone to not buy one. I don’t own any other than that one but that’s my personal preference. I prefer sig, everyone is entitled to their opinion but don’t judge someone by what they carry. Just be hopeful they are proficient with it no matter the caliber.
I like the way you used a one handed grip there. I learned that way back in the 70s. I could rapid fire all 7 shots from my govt series 70 into a 7" black at 25 yards. Of course that was during my learning period of around 4k rounds. I used to reload 300 rounds at a time and head on down to the Police Range. I always thought the 1911 would be better with a 6" Barrel. Thanks for the Demo. I may buy one of these.
@@cobblerama yes I have it, rural king has it for 409.99 and I love my RI full size 10mm and my compact size .45 acp I love my RI’s and they chew through any ammo I put theough
The 10mm Magnum needs to come back. That could be an upscale version of the AMT Javelina. Also, has anyone ever considered putting Skinner style aperture sights on a hunting pistol?
I accidently bought 10mm MAG brass last year when shopping for 10mm HUNTER I didn't know a mag existed: I wonder if I could rechamber a standard 10mm into a mag???
Absolutely. I'd put ghost rings on my single action hunting guns if I were not so gunsmithing-challenged. Someone somewhere dose/did make and market them but they don't seem to be all that popular. Big old red dots and reflexes, but no nice, neat, clean, trim unobtrusive peep. Maybe it has to do with eye relief...I bet Elmer Keith had something to say about them.
I have one in 9mm , made a little tune up but just what I do to many for myself & others . Mostly just polishing. Not really needed. almost as good as my Tac Opps 9mm SIG. but very well made. Got it in a Pawn shop for 500.00 , SIG more then double ! Most could not tell the difference in shooting them. I shot 20 yrs. Bullseye Comp. & more. Built 6, 1911's from parts on line & gun shows. Yes 1911 has always been my favorite !! Had many makes & sizes & Models.
Springfield Mil-Spec .45 ACP Wilson Combat custom is my go to, I’d put a heavier spring in your gun tho, soft springs don’t work well for recoil management.
Awesome, Scott. :) I've shot a .45 1911 recently, and it was awesome, but I personally own a RIA 1911 9mm. It's also incredibly smooth, and shooting 9mm in such a heavy package is an absolute dream.
That's exactly what I noticed. I have a 6" long slide in 10mm with a much stiffer spring. Muzzle rise is half of that and my brass is around 6' feet away, not 10.
Yeah, considering how easy it is to rack, as he emphasizes repeatedly, it's probably got a way lighter recoil spring than it should so the slide is slamming back with some force.
Ive got a matched pair of 1st run desert eagle 1911s-basically the same gun with a 5 inch barrel. made by iwi out of Israel. they call themselves BUL now.... nice gun there Scott. mine are classic 1911 no pic rails but I did repleplace grips and do trigger work etc. for an off the shelf gun they are as good as any ed brown or other custom shop1911.
I have a regular Remington 1911. I can shoot it more accurately than my other pistols. I have a Springfield Armory XD 9 mm but it's double stack. The 1911 is single stack so my short fingers can grip it and squeeze the trigger more easily than my other pistols.
I'll confess. I really like 1911s. Yes I like modern firearms too, I'm not that Bomerish. Surprisingly one of my favorite 1911s that I own is a full sized Kimber chambered in 9mm. I bought it on a total impulse buy. It turned out to be accurate as all get out and it's a blast (sorry for the pun) to shoot. It's just one of my favorites. Take it easy man, and be safe out there. 😎
Bro I relate to this because I bought a R.I Armery full size 1911 chambered in 9mm after getting a better paying job😂!! Love that thing and might buy another in .45
I’ve got one in 9mm 5” bull barrel. Great pistol and he’s not lying about the action and trigger. Smooth no rattling and the factory trigger is on point.
That was a pretty cool 1911, I wonder how much more velocity you would get wit the extra inch of barrel, also where is the tactical T-Rex? Keep up the great work Scott.
I once shot a ww2 era m1911 and that thing rattled so much I thought it would fall apart😅 It never did and I’ve been in love with them since. Thanks for the awesome video Scott!
I do have a question for you though Scott. How does it feel when the targets fight back? Since you asked, I am wishing I could afford to get a good 1911. Tough having Champaign taste with a Boones Farm pocketbook.
My dad had two of them and he gave Me one for Christmas this Christmas eve cause I work Christmas day and It was an awesome gift it still works like a charm it's the best
Hey Scott what's up champ? AMAZING video! I didn't know that such a model existed until I came across your new video! I have to tell you that it is one of the most BEAUTIFUL out of all the 1911's I've ever seen, and I've seen MANY! It's just FANTASTIC! Plus the slide is so smooth, I just can't believe it! They did a thorough job on this one, an AMAZING piece of firearm! Thank you for letting us know about it! It was a GREAT video!
To answer your question Scott I like the 1911 classic, but given the choice I'd put one of those really long competition barrel and slides on it (they're like 7-8" I'm pretty sure). Maybe get it with blued gun metal, maybe just darkened.
I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!!

Showing love from 🏴 great to see you made a great recovery love the content 🤙🏾
"Them Two-Liters are shootin' back!" I almost fucking died.
Omg! I laughed so hard at Scott's videos, the soda 🤣 was killing me. Oh it felt good to laugh like that! 👍
The 1911 started being made over 100 years ago and is still arguably the greatest pistol of all time
Yeah but the G21 is better in almost every way possible. I will give that a really really good 1911 can hold up to a cheap modern 45acp pistol but not by much.
Haha! Tell another one!
It’s at least the best looking pistol
That’s why everybody always compares shooting a modern 45 ACP to a 1911, particularly the trigger. JMB was a genius the same way Mozart or Bach were, their creations are still timeless. 100 years from now people will have forgotten the pop stars and the polymer pistols of today but I’d bet the classics will still be played and 1911s will still be manufactured.
Some American made things are like that ! and another is something the same age as I am , The B-52 !
1911s are a genuine masterpiece of the firearm world. I have a full size Para Usa Elite Pro and a 3 inch Kimber Ultra Plus CDP. Both are outstanding handguns.
My favorite 1911 in my collection is my Para Black Ops. I converted the series 80 trigger to the series 70, (80 is too clunky) and it is so smooth and crisp, it's like a vivid wet dream. Lol
“I carry a .45 acp because they don’t make a .46”
.460 Rowland: Am I a joke to you?
How to make the 1911 better:
*Give it a bigger barrel*
Hey, size matters!
Actually that's true. 45acp is a weak round, all things considered. That extra inch or two of barrel helps a lot with velocity and therefore energy dumped on target.
The terminator made the 45 longslide so badass looking.
@@trashcompactorYT Weaker than a 30-30 rifle I guess.
IV8888 channel shot the 45acp ball ammo from a 16" carbine and at 440 yards, it penetrated 2-1/4" worth of pine boards. Punched right through. Rated at 614 FPS and almost 200 ft-lb at that range and still hits hard. Momentum penetrates.
@@trashcompactorYT nobody wants to stand in front of one, though!
Nice looking pistol. I can hear how smooth that slide is being a machinist. Nice tolerances. You should try the .460 Rowland conversion for that if they make a 6". I think you'll like it.
They DO make a .46!!
I have a Kimber .45 acp, one of the earlier models when they were still making them in Clackamas Oregon. I had a Bomar adjustable rear sight installed, which made it perfect for me. Puts nice big holes right where I want them. What more can you ask from a handgun?
Well you could ask for 15 rounds, Pic rail, and an optic cut
For it to put more holes in things.
@@TheLarzon pic rail on 1911 kinda throws the look off
@@TheLarzon yeah, you just must have an optic on a hand gun these days or it is totally useless.
@@LU-D1GITAL some manufacturers really botched it. Colt and Sig managed to figure out how to make the pic rail look good
Pretty amazing weapon! I was a squid from the 70's and 80's, and the colt(?) 1911 .45 cal. was the sidearm issued for shipboard security. My only complaint, was that they (the 1911 .45's) were probably from the vietnam war, and worn out pretty good. No target practice, just fam fire into the dirt berm (if you could hit it!).
But yes, i agree, a six inch barrel would be a much more accurate and powerful weapon (especially if it wasn't 20 years old).
You probably had a GI grade 45 made by Remington in WWII. I have one of those that I don't think was ever issued. I can hit whatever I aim at with it. As long as it's taken care of and gets grease it can last a very long time. The problem is a lot of them weren't taken care of.
5:46..LOL!
I am just glad you were sent a great new version of the 1911 when alot of manufacturers simply get that platform wrong.
I am familiar with the gunsmithing feel of a perfectly made firearm you are talking about.
That is truly an amazing feeling when you simply hold the firearm and cycle it as well as shoot it too.
Alot of old handguns, rifles and shotguns have that feel.
Great video, Kentucky Ballistics.
My favorite is my Kimber full size "conceal" 1911. All of the sharp edges have been smoothed down to allow for an easier draw. It gives the gun a very unique look and feel
Ohhh what was the price on that?
"Carry Melt"
I love the 45 ACP, and this 1911 is a gem 🔥
I do love the bul armory 191s. I have one in 5 inch and your right that slide and the trigger are like silky smooth butta!
Scott always finds a way to pick up extreme guns and show them for our viewing pleasure 👍
And the watermelon looked like it absorbed more energy when he slammed it to the ground than being shot with 45 acp😂
There's just something about a 1911, truly an icon.
I think it's because "tWo WoRlD wArS!'
I love seeing some one thats used to 9mm And the first round they fire of .45 from a 1911 , its always " OMG " " A REAL GUN " !
Agreed 💯 percent
1911 is so pretty with the long barrel.
".45 ACP. Because who needs the metric system?"
Me, as a Canadian: (Laughs in easy converting.)
Metric system is better, until it comes to firearm calibers.
Your conversion comes to 11.43mm?
11.4554mm to 11.4808mm
My conversion system:
Small bullet
Big bullet
Even bigger bullet
It’s crazy to me that Scott even has to add the whole “I like my Glocks” part all because as a gun RUclips channel he already knows glock fanboys are gonna come out of the woodwork saying what about the G20 long slide blah blah. If you are a true gun guy you should respect and love all quality firearms equally. I love Glock, I have a G21, 45acp but I went with a Kimber for my 10mm.
I own 2 Glocks and love them but I don't consider myself a fanboy, I love all types of guns
I’m not a huge fan of them but I do own one. For me it’s the geometry of the grips. But as someone who enjoys shooting. I won’t tell someone to not buy one. I don’t own any other than that one but that’s my personal preference. I prefer sig, everyone is entitled to their opinion but don’t judge someone by what they carry. Just be hopeful they are proficient with it no matter the caliber.
In total agreement
Scott always makes my day! Thank you Scott!
That gun is a beauty.
Springfield operator has been best in my personal lineup thus far.
Digging the new sidearm buddy
Have a trp long slide 10mm. Love it ❤
I like the way you used a one handed grip there. I learned that way back in the 70s. I could rapid fire all 7 shots from my govt series 70 into a 7" black at 25 yards. Of course that was during my learning period of around 4k rounds. I used to reload 300 rounds at a time and head on down to the Police Range. I always thought the 1911 would be better with a 6" Barrel. Thanks for the Demo. I may buy one of these.
I just picked up a brand new rock island armory 1911. And you simply cannot beat the quality for the price!
RI are pretty good considering what you get for the price.
@@rotwang2000 exactly. And with a little gunsmith knowledge and fine tuning, it’s super nice!
Do they offer a 10mm 1911? Been looking at getting one. Seem nice for the price.
@@cobblerama take a look at the Dan Wesson Razerback. It's chambed in 10mm and is freaking sweet.
@@cobblerama yes I have it, rural king has it for 409.99 and I love my RI full size 10mm and my compact size .45 acp I love my RI’s and they chew through any ammo I put theough
There's a lot of 1911s I really like but something calls to me at the moment- a mix of the Strayer Voigt Infinity and the AMT Hardballer Longslide.
I tested The Bul 1911, I purchased one, it’s incredibly smooth and modern while keeping the classic shape of the 1911.
I could literally feel how smooth that slide was just by the sound. And that's on $hitty laptop speakers.
The 10mm Magnum needs to come back. That could be an upscale version of the AMT Javelina. Also, has anyone ever considered putting Skinner style aperture sights on a hunting pistol?
I accidently bought 10mm MAG brass last year when shopping for 10mm HUNTER I didn't know a mag existed: I wonder if I could rechamber a standard 10mm into a mag???
Absolutely. I'd put ghost rings on my single action hunting guns if I were not so gunsmithing-challenged. Someone somewhere dose/did make and market them but they don't seem to be all that popular. Big old red dots and reflexes, but no nice, neat, clean, trim unobtrusive peep. Maybe it has to do with eye relief...I bet Elmer Keith had something to say about them.
Soon as .357 Maximum comes back.
I have one in 9mm , made a little tune up but just what I do to many for myself & others . Mostly just polishing. Not really needed. almost as good as my Tac Opps 9mm SIG. but very well made. Got it in a Pawn shop for 500.00 , SIG more then double ! Most could not tell the difference in shooting them. I shot 20 yrs. Bullseye Comp. & more. Built 6, 1911's from parts on line & gun shows. Yes 1911 has always been my favorite !! Had many makes & sizes & Models.
Due to inflation .45 ACP is now considered 9mm...
I don't think so buddy 45 will always be 45
@@daddymilkchocolate4653 Gotcha triggered!
The Fed inflates. The Fed steals. The Fed robs. The Fed is a private criminal enterprise. End the Fed.
Springfield Mil-Spec .45 ACP Wilson Combat custom is my go to, I’d put a heavier spring in your gun tho, soft springs don’t work well for recoil management.
You're here after Kyle found not guilty?
@@jandevry3985 nope, here because Scott is a good guy and makes great video's
@@jeffreyhutchins6527 Yes
Just blasting the one liners in this video! You're appreciated. Thank you.
Hey, nice 1911 you got there. Would be sad if , idk, a tactical T-Rex came along and stole it.
Awesome, Scott. :)
I've shot a .45 1911 recently, and it was awesome, but I personally own a RIA 1911 9mm. It's also incredibly smooth, and shooting 9mm in such a heavy package is an absolute dream.
"RIA 1911 9mm" -- Which model?
@@mountainhobo I can't remember the exact number, but it was the GI looking one. Has standard GI features like the sights, safety, hammer, etc
@@DanielEastwood25 Thanks!
Scott: "Them 2 liters are shootin' back!!!"
Me: on the floor laughing
I’ve gotta say, that thing has a lot of muzzle rise for a 45. Must be the light recoil spring??
It's a 10mm...
@@TheExplosiveGuy wrong. Go to 0:50
That's exactly what I noticed. I have a 6" long slide in 10mm with a much stiffer spring. Muzzle rise is half of that and my brass is around 6' feet away, not 10.
Yeah, considering how easy it is to rack, as he emphasizes repeatedly, it's probably got a way lighter recoil spring than it should so the slide is slamming back with some force.
Dang scott that is one hell of a gun. Im glad to see that your getting better. God bless and a grate video as always
Ive got a matched pair of 1st run desert eagle 1911s-basically the same gun with a 5 inch barrel. made by iwi out of Israel. they call themselves BUL now.... nice gun there Scott. mine are classic 1911 no pic rails but I did repleplace grips and do trigger work etc. for an off the shelf gun they are as good as any ed brown or other custom shop1911.
I have a regular Remington 1911. I can shoot it more accurately than my other pistols. I have a Springfield Armory XD 9 mm but it's double stack. The 1911 is single stack so my short fingers can grip it and squeeze the trigger more easily than my other pistols.
Ricardo,i have a Remington Randall 1911A1 maked in 1945 Is very accuracy no matter the age 77 years Is the correct size for my hand
I'll confess. I really like 1911s. Yes I like modern firearms too, I'm not that Bomerish. Surprisingly one of my favorite 1911s that I own is a full sized Kimber chambered in 9mm. I bought it on a total impulse buy. It turned out to be accurate as all get out and it's a blast (sorry for the pun) to shoot. It's just one of my favorites.
Take it easy man, and be safe out there. 😎
Bro I relate to this because I bought a R.I Armery full size 1911 chambered in 9mm after getting a better paying job😂!! Love that thing and might buy another in .45
"Bomerish"
You mean Boomerish?
Dude. There's nothing wrong with liking old or vintage stuff. Seriously.
Bomerish? Do you mean boorish?
@@davecrupel2817 Hah! I didn't even notice that.
I'm going to leave it wrong because you made a fair catch man. 😎
@@skrimper boomerish as in able to perform a task without calling your mommy.
I’ve got one in 9mm 5” bull barrel. Great pistol and he’s not lying about the action and trigger. Smooth no rattling and the factory trigger is on point.
That was a pretty cool 1911, I wonder how much more velocity you would get wit the extra inch of barrel, also where is the tactical T-Rex? Keep up the great work Scott.
I once shot a ww2 era m1911 and that thing rattled so much I thought it would fall apart😅
It never did and I’ve been in love with them since.
Thanks for the awesome video Scott!
YES !! I have my fathers 1911 from WWII !!
I was issued ( medic ) and carried a WW ll 45 in RVN . It rattled and shook , but fired everytime I needed it .
"The two liters are shootin back!" My god... They've evolved. Always good to see a new KB video!
KYLE IS FREE!
I do have a question for you though Scott. How does it feel when the targets fight back? Since you asked, I am wishing I could afford to get a good 1911. Tough having Champaign taste with a Boones Farm pocketbook.
Rock island stays with same construction as colt and are pretty inexpensive vs Kimber etc
My dad had two of them and he gave Me one for Christmas this Christmas eve cause I work Christmas day and It was an awesome gift it still works like a charm it's the best
AMT Hardballer with 7" barrel. Always liked them since The Terminator.
I just mentioned the AMT Javelina in 10mm Magnum in my comment. I think they had a 7inch longslide available in the Hardballer and the Javelina both.
I had the 7 inch long slide from AMT, it was a POS.
Let's go Kyle!
Absolutely that is the Justice system finally working
Tisas M1911A1 has been my carry my entire armed security career and has never let me down
First 1911 I ever shot was a 6" Les Baer, this video brings back good memories 🤘
You need to find someone in life who looks at you The same as Scott looks at his guns 👍
👎
Hey Scott what's up champ? AMAZING video! I didn't know that such a model existed until I came across your new video! I have to tell you that it is one of the most BEAUTIFUL out of all the 1911's I've ever seen, and I've seen MANY! It's just FANTASTIC! Plus the slide is so smooth, I just can't believe it! They did a thorough job on this one, an AMAZING piece of firearm! Thank you for letting us know about it! It was a GREAT video!
To answer your question Scott I like the 1911 classic, but given the choice I'd put one of those really long competition barrel and slides on it (they're like 7-8" I'm pretty sure). Maybe get it with blued gun metal, maybe just darkened.
The real hero of this video is the table frame. That thing held together better than my entire life.
