True story! My dad was given a singer 1911 in 1995 as payment for 4 chords of firewood! We stopped at the gun store on the way home to sell it and the cashier had never heard of it b4! On the way out of the store an affluent looking gentleman stopped my dad and educated him on what he was holding. Two weeks later that gentleman came to the house and paid my dad $20,000 in cash to buy it! My dad went back to the old lady that had given it to him and tried to give her $5000 she would not let him. We instead never charged her for firewood from that day on!
Some history: apparently even though Singer couldn’t produce 100 guns a day, the War Department saw the guns made as higher quality and instead gave Singer contracts for more expensive components for things like aircrafts.
@@shallnotcomply6479the article I read said T-1 bomb sights, B-29 bomber gunfire control computers, directional gyros, artificial horizon instruments, and autopilot controls as examples, I wouldn’t know if there’s any other examples and am no historian.
That Singer gun is probably finer than any 1911 made today. They made incredibly high quality machines back then. A lot of their sewing machines from that era are still being used today, running just like new.
Yeah, still got a singer sewing machine at my mums, it's not only reliable, but it was also made to look amazing, including the legs, and still works when needed.
Got two Singer treadle sewing machines. One was made in 1927 the other was made in 1922. Even have one button hole device. Attaches to the pressure foot. There are 8 insert gears that make the button hole sizes desired.
WTF?! In 1969-70, I carried a Singer 1911A1 In Vietnam. It was a great weapon, with tight tolerances, and a really nice recoil spring action. I would have attempted to swipe it if I had only known...DANG!
First off, I would love to thank you you sir, for your service and sacrifice and welcome home!! But Im curious and wanted to ask you a question. Do you perhaps remember what serial number your service weapon had??
@@TarmanTheChampion Nope. Frankly, I never noticed it. However, I did notice that my troop did have an actual 1911 Colt, which was NOT a 1911A1 Colt. Each weapon logged by the troop did have a serial number listed as well in our inventory, but I was never able to get a corresponding account of them all. However, I did notice that we had a Jeep that belonged to another troop. I never mentioned that fact to anyone...
Which is odd to think about because Singer made 5x as many 1911s as NAA did. You'd think the rarer of the two would be worth more. Maybe it's just TOO rare and more people know about the Singer than the NAA.
When Singer delivered its initial batch of 1911s to the US the military looked them over and found that they were very finly machined and had Singer make aircraft parts instead
@@krossblod8763 Yes, because of course it's better to have non-functioning weapons than to *spoil* them with things that actually work properly. The ideal standard for all militaries.
I've also heard that's one of the reasons they couldn't meet the 100 a day. Quality control and care for manufacturing was to high. I can attest that the government is definitely looking for the cheapest and fastest to hire. I worked for an electric company that was subcontracted through the government and we made things like Humvee wire harnesses and tank auxiliary cables along with other things (those two stuck out the most). Boy let me tell you, as long as the work was done half assed on time then they didn't care who did it. We had 4 recovering meth addicts, 1 "recovered" meth addicts and probably half the work force or more at least smoked pot and many on the job. Random bum people who really didn't have a skill only put wire here. I quickly became one of the more skilled their as I actually knew how to work more complex tools and solder lol.
There is a Popular Mechanics article that said the gov't thought it would be a waste for them to make handguns at that quality so they had them make bombsights
There's no way I could be a collector of anything that can't be used. If it's something I want to collect, I want to use it, too! Glad to see y'all actually use these relics!
That's why I waited for the new colt pythons. The old ones can't get replacement parts and repairs from the factory, if not now, then certainly not in a few more years.
Joel is a legend. These guns were built to be fired and him allowing you to share these and the rocket pistols that shot… most of the time is so bad ass!!
The thing to remember about the singer contract is they didn't lose it because the guns were bad they lost it because their precision was wasted on 1911s they ended up making classified parts for the Nordwn Bombsight.
@@jaydunbar7538 it was a waste of their factory time making 1911s and that's what the government inspectors said of the 500 pistols examined. The level of precision wasn't needed and was more useful producing other more delicate and more precision components.
I agree with your wording. 1911s in WWII we’re going to be abused, abandoned, etc. Any other company could make them for that purpose. Their precision could definitely be used elsewhere
@@alyssatipton5080 the spec was really quite loose which is why the ww2 guns are so reliable. 911s tend to only go to jamming and being hard to keep running when yiu accurise it by making it to tighter tolerances. Singer were an impressive maker of aviation parts in ww2 the Nordwn Bombsight being one of them

@@MMOchAForPrez How, exactly, does enjoying a random 30 second joke intro make someone a "fudd"? Prejudicing against huge swaths of people for their own opinions makes you sound like a leftist. Grow up. If you don't like them then fast forward 30 seconds like an adult... or I guess just keep going to comment sections and insult people in order to make yourself feel superior, like a child.
My mother and grandmother were professional seamstresses, that collected vintage singer machines. My grandmother owned her own shop and was the personal seamstress for the mayor of Spokane and several other people, and my mom was a gun dealer who also collected rare firearms. My grandmother was an avid hunter, who also collected rare firearms. However, I've never heard of this. WHAT THE HELL!!!???
I look at classic guns like classic cars. They are made to be used and personally think just sitting is worse for them than use and care. Great to see these getting love.
does depend a bit, the problem is getting parts can be hard and if you break a numbered part you significantly reduce the value. Luckily few numbered parts are common to break.
@Wehraboo I agree. Hopefully the person who possess such item WILL take care of it. Hence them being a loner. If they were my guns I'm gonna be there...😊
No because they are museum pieces. If we run every museum piece you can find, then it's going to ruin the education for future generations to witness so they'll never know what an original state would have looked like. Not to mention that there are millions of 1911s in production and this old museum piece isn't going to make you shoot any better or differently. If I found king Arthur's magical sword I'm not going to start bashing it against a steel shield and snap the sword in half because that's how it would have been used in battle
@@jason200912 if i found king arthurs sword i would totally slice stuff with it just bc it would b cool, guns are literally built to b shot its even cooler of their 100, 200, 300 years old. just because its a museum piece doesnt mean ya cant shoot it
I've got to give you credit man, you make hilarious and most important unique intros on every single video. How you don't run out of ideas is beyond me.
Love you guys at RIA, thank Ian extra much for educating me on all of your fantastic guns, if I were to get a chance to buy a coonan or something from you guys, I wouldn't miss a beat
Well, the sale and transfer of it was. As soon as the gun owner who owned it passed, it would be destroyed... I saw a video a while back where a store owner in the States had managed to purchase a couple hundred Lugers for Canada's RIGHT before the freeze. So, some guns have been saved.
I love it, I happen to have an original Colt 1911 with a 5 digit SN, according to Colt that puts it made in 1914, was a Special order for an officer and passed down in the family and was gifted to me when the gentlemans Children didn't want a gun in the house (Yes they were Kalifornians) so it sits in an oiled case and will be passed down to my boys who want to fight over it, lol
When I was in the guard during the 90s my unit had a singer 1911 in the armory. I have always wondered what happened to it when we transitioned to the M9.
Quick History with Link!: The North American Arms 1911 was originally produced in Canada as a faster, easier way to punch holes in our maple trees to get to the maple syrup! They found it was also a great hammer for breaking apart the giant ice blocks for smaller more manageable blocks to make our igloos. 🎵*The more you know*🎵
I visited a gun collector in Belgium who lived in a castle. He showed me various very rare guns including the hunting rifle of King Ludwig of Bavaria (the one who built Neu Schwanstein). The barrel is made of damask steel and there are beautiful carvings on it and the wood. I played around with it for about 30 minutes. I wonder how much that gun is worth.
Honestly to see them working flawlessly probably increased their value, not to mention seeing the singer having a different ejection than a typical 1911 is interesting
We all value quality- and that 'Singer runs like a sewing machine'. Doesn't matter how much it costs, the value of quality and reliability is worth every penny.
Just recently my grandfather just passed, and upon moving things out of his house my dad and I came across a Argentina colt 1927 chambered in .45. Crazy to think I have 1 of only 10,000 made by colt before it was contracted with Argentina to make the exact same gun
I so wanted to find out if it is true that the Singer 1911's don't rattle when you shake them. From what I have read the reason Singer couldn't make 100 guns per day was because of their exacting tolerances.
I would literally have all my guns AND all Canadian guns go to the U.S. Where folks like you can actually appreciate them than turn them into the gov't. We're hurting bad up here in the North. NEVER give up your 2A
Hide them and protect them at all costs. I am almost at the bottom of the US but I wish I could help you hide them. If I were at the Northern border you would have a safe house for storage until the day of reckoning were at hand.
I never knew that about Singer. I have a Singer pedal powered sewing machine from the 1920's and it still works just fine. I wish I could see that pistol.
I actually love this. Because guns are NOT some "fragile" things that need to be "protected", then NEED to be fired and used. If they get dirty, you just clean them. Slamming the slide shut is NOT going to hurt them, dry firing them is NOT going to hurt them. Letting them sit unused on a shelf to rust and fall apart WILL!!
Hey you ladies and gentlemen lets give Jole another round of applause for letting Matt review another set of historical beauties 👏 🙌. Who am I kidding its mostly gentlemen here Bahahahha..
I almost thought you done went and bought some Cabots when I first saw the title. Haha mammoth ivory handles and 24k gold sights. Beautiful guns, guns, I'll never see in my lifetime 😂
"$500,000 can buy you a house, like a nice house." People who live in California and NY: "$500,000 can buy you an apartment, like an livable apartment with 3 rooms"
Hey, as someone who lives in a house worth more than that, and who had a homeless guy living with his trashcans for a month back in 2021, I gotta tell you...living in a crime-infested hellhole is *expensive*.
The fact there’s a deactivated singer 1911 sat in a surplus store near where I live in the uk is kinda sad the paper work on it said it was found in a storage unit back in 2002, apparently the original owner had bought it when he lived in the us at an auction for 15k and then moved to the uk which is when he had it deactivated and turned into a show piece it has a certificate to prove it’s deactivated and is now just a glorified collector’s piece
My dad, who lives in Indiana, came down for my my nephew's birthday this past weekend, and I was talking to him about Demo's videos. He told me he actually knows all three of the guys who were in the Gyrojet video and has smoked cigars with Joel on multiple occasions at the cigar shop he's a member at. We talked about Joel's collectible 1911s and other super rare firearms, and then I just came across this video. It's crazy how small the world can be. Apparently, Joel is a super down to earth, nice guy
I thought that was interesting as my grandmother worked for singer in that particular plant at that time. She was a sewing machine test pilot of sorts unfortunately there's no evidence that I have that she ever touched a pistol while she was there.
You know damn well there's gonna be the gullible few that actually think Matt dropped them on the ground and dumped water on them. I'm more on the side that they weren't shooting said "rare" guns and just shot the other two....
I don’t even wanna know how rich that guy is where he’s comfortable leaving 300k in just 2 items small items mine you with someone and be like yeah shoot them but I totally get it he’s probably a massive fan and wants to show off his guns an allow others to enjoy them like he does, as a collector half the fun is buying the other half is showing them to people and teaching them about the items. Matt needs to go to this guys place and make a whole series of checking out his collection and shooting them it’d be dope I’m sure that guy has so much cool stuff
Personally I love seeing collector items actually used. Whether it’s classic cars, modern collector cars, guns, etc…..they were made to be used and enjoyed. The idea of them sitting in a collection, just existing, is a terrible thing
Saw the LVNDMARK episode the other day, for someone who is constantly on camera, he was super awkward. Baddie on the other hand, had some damn good on-screen presence, and seems to work well in tandem with Demo. Good shtuff Baddie. You have come a long ways my dude.
So I recently saw a video by Cabot Guns they made a pair of matching 1911’s out of a 4.5 million years old meteorite. The price coincidentally is 4.5 million dollars. A million dollars per year 😎👍

Slamming the slide shut is NOT going to hurt them, dry firing them is NOT going to hurt them. Letting them sit unused on a shelf to rust and fall apart WILL!!
My SA GI model ejects shells straight over my head or into my forehead too - love it
Hey you ladies and gentlemen lets give Jole another round of applause for letting Matt review another set of historical beauties 👏 🙌.
Who am I kidding its mostly gentlemen here Bahahahha..
I almost thought you done went and bought some Cabots when I first saw the title. Haha mammoth ivory handles and 24k gold sights. Beautiful guns, guns, I'll never see in my lifetime 😂
Cabots are made about an hour from where I live! Amazing guns
@adamrosenhamer3762 It's a dream just to hold one, even if it's the meteorite ones. As you said amazing guns.
They were built to shoot…. Yeah great to see them being used… price goes up as they work👍👍
I haven't laughed this hard for one of your intros for a while 🤣! It's absolutely hilarious. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate your content .
Having these two1911's in a demo video being fired by Matt showing their quality will in history raise their value.

"$500,000 can buy you a house, like a nice house."
People who live in California and NY: "$500,000 can buy you an apartment, like an livable apartment with 3 rooms"
I can barely get a 1 room condo for in my city..
Notice how they're the states with the most restricting gun laws too - correlation equaling causation? 😂
I can't imagine wanting to buy anything in those places at all 💩
I can imagine wanting to buy a gun in those places.
Hey, as someone who lives in a house worth more than that, and who had a homeless guy living with his trashcans for a month back in 2021, I gotta tell you...living in a crime-infested hellhole is *expensive*.
The fact there’s a deactivated singer 1911 sat in a surplus store near where I live in the uk is kinda sad the paper work on it said it was found in a storage unit back in 2002, apparently the original owner had bought it when he lived in the us at an auction for 15k and then moved to the uk which is when he had it deactivated and turned into a show piece it has a certificate to prove it’s deactivated and is now just a glorified collector’s piece
More like it went from a beloved firearm to a paper weight.
That’s essentially a crime in it of itself…
@@MechanicalMafioso Is this crime the destruction of a historical artifact?
@@chainsofscarlet9054 I would have to say yes. Not dissimilar to razing a historical building…
Yet another reason the UK is a third world country
OMFG that skit in the beginning! That's the funniest thing I've seen in months!
I saw the title and audibly said “He did what??”
Bro. I've lost count at how many of your videos I've watched. This intro is hands down the best yet. I'm dying right now.
Never forget what Baddie did to Goldie!
R. I. P. Goldie 🫡
Thanks for the chuckle....
The first 1911 I was issued [USMC 84] was made by Remington Rand in WWII. Managed to qual expert with it.
The beginning of the video is great.
My dad, who lives in Indiana, came down for my my nephew's birthday this past weekend, and I was talking to him about Demo's videos. He told me he actually knows all three of the guys who were in the Gyrojet video and has smoked cigars with Joel on multiple occasions at the cigar shop he's a member at. We talked about Joel's collectible 1911s and other super rare firearms, and then I just came across this video. It's crazy how small the world can be. Apparently, Joel is a super down to earth, nice guy
That's amazing! after all these years they still work fine.
I thought that was interesting as my grandmother worked for singer in that particular plant at that time. She was a sewing machine test pilot of sorts unfortunately there's no evidence that I have that she ever touched a pistol while she was there.
The whole time baddie was filming demo dual wield his mouth was wide open haha best ever
You know damn well there's gonna be the gullible few that actually think Matt dropped them on the ground and dumped water on them. I'm more on the side that they weren't shooting said "rare" guns and just shot the other two....
Lol, we definitely used stand-ins for the drop and water but all the actual shooting is really the Singer and NA Arms!!! They ran great!
@@Demo_Camera_Guy, that's good! That's what they're there for! Lol
@Demo_Camera_Guy I can tell! The sound when he racked that Singer was like nothing I've ever heard before. So clean!
Exactly!@@RogueRipple
They really are like, exquisite feeling, if thats even a thing. We were so nervous having them around hahaha@@MrJackHagan
Let me pause right there at 0:48. Hilarious intro, holy cow
I don’t even wanna know how rich that guy is where he’s comfortable leaving 300k in just 2 items small items mine you with someone and be like yeah shoot them but I totally get it he’s probably a massive fan and wants to show off his guns an allow others to enjoy them like he does, as a collector half the fun is buying the other half is showing them to people and teaching them about the items. Matt needs to go to this guys place and make a whole series of checking out his collection and shooting them it’d be dope I’m sure that guy has so much cool stuff
Dual wielding 1911's just reminded me of Last Man Standing, with Bruce Willis. Badass.
Joel is a legend for letting you just manhandle these 😂
I pray
MAY YOU HAVE 50M soon ❤❤❤
You make me smile every time with your funny jokes ❤
Baddie dual wielding slow-mo was the best facial expression. Looked excited, constipated, and terrified all at once.
Personally I love seeing collector items actually used. Whether it’s classic cars, modern collector cars, guns, etc…..they were made to be used and enjoyed.
The idea of them sitting in a collection, just existing, is a terrible thing
Matt your intro's are the best and always have been!!!
Saw the LVNDMARK episode the other day, for someone who is constantly on camera, he was super awkward. Baddie on the other hand, had some damn good on-screen presence, and seems to work well in tandem with Demo. Good shtuff Baddie. You have come a long ways my dude.
BEST INTRO EVER !!! Totally my kind of humor, total sarcasm.
Killin it with the intros lately!
My grandma had a Singer… sewing machine!
Foot pumped and everything too!
I've had a long day and that intro had me in stitches!
I also have a 1918 colt! It was my great grandpas service pistol and had it nickled after the war
My prized gun in my collection is a Remington Rand in 98% condition from 1943! I mainly collect M1 Carbines,one of the best all around guns IMHO!
The first 1911 I ever shot was a Remington rand that my friend had tricked out and carried
We also shot an unfired model 39 Smith that was a fun day
I carry one of these while stationed in Germany in the 70s, as a crew served weapon gunner.
When you clean that Singer, be sure to lots of hidden valley Demo Ranch to lube it up
The singer building where that was made is on fire since this morning.
Hands down the best intro like ever!!!
A real "lock, stock and two smoking barrels" vibe right there
Holding your first born for the first time “I’m scared I feel like I’m going to drop it” 😂
That intro is pure gold 😂👌
that singer is... absolutely beautiful
My favorite intro in a while
So I recently saw a video by Cabot Guns they made a pair of matching 1911’s out of a 4.5 million years old meteorite. The price coincidentally is 4.5 million dollars. A million dollars per year 😎👍
Singers quality was so good that they actually had them pull away from making simple guns and onto bomb components.
Beautiful guns, greetings from South Africa.
That’s awesome to know my homeland made colt 1911s albeit a very limited run but it’s cool to say there’s Canadian Colt 1911s non the less
I’ve shot a colt 1911 from 1902. Great pistol owned by a great guy.
That intro was hilarious 😂
I liked the Singer, the way it ejected up and behind.
I have a 1936 Colt and shoot it all the time.
That opening was true to his best ones.
This intro is the best one so far! Hilarious 😂
Joel = Amazing
Loved Baddie's reaction to the water pour
Best intro EVER, I'm still laughing and the videos over😂
I learned something new one of my fav learning experience I never knew singer made these how cool!
