As a pistol platform as a whole, definitely not. But, like the original ArmaLite AR-15, the original Model of 1911 - with its lack of a mainspring housing - is obscure.
I can’t believe C&Rsenal has covered almost every old firearm under the sun, *including* the 1911’s ancestors, but never covered the actual 1911 in a Minute of Mae until now
feels like they did that to cover the other wepons that are ether lesser know or not even know at all over one of the most overrated handguns in the world

They're my candidate for the example of the epitome, ur example, of any machine ever made. To this day they're brilliant. The most up to date, perfected example, with a composite frame etc. right down the the very earliest military stock - they just work! Reliably! A hundred year old model differs from a contemporary examples only in weight and "fit and finish" to a very high standard! That's a special thing. A specially made example from the year 1911 hand made for an important person is to this day a genuinely accurate target pistol! That's a very special thing indeed.
@@araknidude I disagree. I find the grip shape and angle to be extremely comfortable. I hope you find something that works for you as well as the 1911A1 has for myself.
@@mikespangler98 That’s unfortunate. I knew a Gunny who hated the weapon too. He shot expert but, preferred carrying an M16A2 when in the field. NO ONE who could find an excuse to carry a pistol, would opt for a long gun on a training op. Usually, if you had a pistol, you’d wrap it in plastic, shove it into your holster, and forget about it! The hate was real in that man’s soul. Lol!
You can not understand this weapon without seeing it competetors and predecesors. This channel might have been the first one to look at the 1911 with full context in mind
The sound of the mag going into the mag-well and the side flying forward is ASMR to my ears. The 1911 will always be my favorite to shoot. Well done, Mae!
@@curly__3well, I don't believe it because most SOF guys were rocking FN45's 19 years ago because of the capacity and the fact they suppress up nicely. After about 2015 it was Glock 19's. You might have the oddball operator or nostalgic Marine unit that likes a low capacity malfunction prone 2 and a half pound boat anchor on their hip but, for the most part, it's M17's and G19's now. Not sure how much you heard. Just going off what I see.
@@mattmarzula i know of a delta force guy and i personally know an MP that both carried 1911's on duty and in combat in the last 20 years. I read a few months ago that it is still used, though not as common.
I love my 1911! The grip fits my short fingers better than any double stack and I really like the grip angle. There are those who complain that it only holds seven rounds but if you use them effectively there isn't much it won't stop. Years ago i was decent with the M-9 service pistol but I would have definitely preferred the 1911.
Neat little video. I guess the M1911 was when they finally figured out what a semi-automatic pistol should be. Okay, changes and refinements and even some new ideas in pistol design still to come, but you can look at the M1911 and think, "Yep, that looks right."
I had a government model manufacture in 1938. Became a lend lease gun had British proof marks all over it. Bought it for 200 dollars in 1977. Sold it to a collector for a 500 and a new Colt government model
To be honest I invested as low as $10,000 because I was skeptical initially. Recieving my profit weekly without any attached fees gave me more confidence to reinvest
Along with the Luger P08 probably the most recognised pistols in the world. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Given how many other manufacturers have copied it I'd say John Browning has been well and truly honoured.
For anyone who might care, rock island armory makes a classic 1911 that internet reviewers are a little mixed. I bought one had to do a lot of cleaning out of the box because the oil they ship it in is very sticky and the paint they use gets everywhere. But after a two hour cleaning session and removing paint from the slide for smoother action the 1911 is amazing put 200 rounds threw it no problem and has still not jamed or malfunction. $450 and I love the thing.
Thanks Mae, when the Zombie apocalypse does kick off, I am good for a 1911 or two. I honestly believe that the 1911 is the finest handgun every made and everything since Saint John developed the amazing pistol, everyone has just been trying but failing to improve on his design. Cheers 😁😁

I had one of these as my mates Grandad brought it Back from WW2 as had the lanyard ring on it ,I swapped my BMX for it when was 16 didt tell my mum and dad ,my dad found it in my draw one day he let me keep it but took bullets from clip ,whish i kept in now as im 46 now as was a piece of history as it was battle worn ,I live in uk
The ol' standard. The grip angle is less sharply raked than the Luger P08; I much prefer the 1911's angle. Recoil isn't what *I* would consider 'stout,' but I am a pretty big guy. I think of 1911/.45 ACP combo as a firm *shove* of a recoil, as opposed to the 'pop' recoil of 9mm, or the snappy recoil of the .40 S&W.
I love these old obscure firearms.
Agreed but the 1911 aint exactly obscure

Thank you Mae and John Browning.😎
Perfection never gets old! Way over a century old and not even close to obsolete!!
Especially if we’re including double stack 1911’s and 2011’s. Yeah, the 1911 handgun is going nowhere.
In a world full of Admins, and Thumbs, be a Mae.

When you set the standard that happens;).
I'm not sure about modern, but it definitely looked way more sleek and futuristic when it first made in 1911. Nothing quite looked as good as it did.
Mae's not THAT old.
The one we’ve all been waiting for
Nice! I just bought another 100+ years old 1911!
Must be nice to have that kind of money
Another?? Look at Diamond Jim over here!! I can't save fast enough to beat the speed they are increasing in price!!
@@Negan-lo7yr When you are a true collector. Nibs don't F around.
Carried the A1 version in the early 80’s. Never have I had a weapon fit my hand as well as that pistol.
Was not alive at that point. No pistol is so comfortable to hold.
I'm in the minority then. I despised the clunky thing.

Always a good day for a “Minute” video.

It feels like it took 1,911 years.
Ah, the best minute on YT, and the internet.
Two world wars and also Vietnam.
Still in inventory and available issue for the Gulf War. I had one in the Navy in 1990-91.

Old but still gold.
Great Job Mae 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
All time master piece!
I love my 1911s but I love my Lugers more
Some things never go out of style.
YES FINALLY!!!! THANK YOU!!
I was waiting for this
Awesome!
Any SERIOUS handgunner has a 1911 or at LEAST a clone of the 1911!
I would disagree, it is possible to just try one extensively and decide "great pistol, but not for me"
Any serious shooter will have a gun that fits their hands, quit the fudding.
Old? Yes.
Obsolete? Never!
Finally.
Finally! A Colt 1911 Minute with Mae!!!

I think the Tisas repros are more highly regarded these days
1911 had them in the 80’s before the 92F. Have a few, love’em
Sweet smile of satisfaction at the end!😂❤
And still in use by the US and other countries today in limited use. US special operations teams use the M45 which is a massively modernized 1911.
Over a hundred years of service, and ready for a hundred years more.
I wait for the smile at the end. Great series.
I would love to hear a 1911 vs 1911A1 comparison.
I am sure we will get it in 2054 or so.
Shorter hammer, longer beaver tail... and no more diamonds on the grips.
Mae time!
This weapon is a legend and is still manufactured worldwide
I went a long way down in the comments, and not one person mentioned the G word. Now that's respect, right there :).
Jeez, surprised this has in not been done yet😂
Edit: thought you two would have done this one YEARS ago
A truly fantastic pistol!
Can't believe it took this long to do a minute with a 1911!
When I think of America I think of this pistol.
Well, it’s better than looking at McDonald’s and thinking about the US by a long shot.
