Just some info: Remington Rand, while distantly related to Remington Arms Co/Remington UMC, is not the same. Also price does not always reflect rarity or value, there is simply a lot of demand for USGI 1911s in general.
Correction WAS designed for one hand but that was before we knew anything about handgun fighting and if you have a pistol in a long gun fight your pretty fucked
Remington Rand is not the same as Remington. Remington made 1911s from late 1917 to 1919 under government contract as more 1911 assembly lines were being spun up. Remington Rand was a typewriter company pre war and during the war made various war related materials including 1911A1s. Though both a WWI 1911 might say Remington and a WWII 1911 A1 might say Remington Rand, the two companies have no affiliation or shared history.
I was enlisted with my local Army National Guard Field Artillery Unit, 1982-88. We were issued M-16A1 rifles and 1911 45's during my entire time i was there. Every 1911 i seen and handled were Remington Rand manufactured. They were all beat to death. Finishes were very worn. Only our officers and medics were issued these pistols. I never got to fire one. But i was really good friends with one of our medics. He wasnt a "gun guy" like i was. Our medics had the choice of carrying either an M-16 or a 45 pistol. He picked the pistol because it was easier to lug around. Sometimes he would leave the Remington Rand with me and just wear his empty leather flap holster when he made his rounds on the gun line. I did enjoy getting to handle and mess with that piece of history. I even kept it cleaned and oiled for Sweeney. Id have loved to have brought it home to add to my firearm collection, but that would have been highly frowned on ! Lol. We did have an M-16 come up missing during the time i was there. They tore our Armory apart and talked to all of us. But it was never found. I still cant believe someone had the balls to walk off with a full auto M-16.
I had one made by singer sewing machine.That was one of the finest 45.I've ever owned out of probably a hundred or more than iphone I used to have a class two license and repair them all the time
I could give you a pointer, try bracing your non-dominant thumb on the frame of course with out a owww on the top of ur thumb. That being said.. nice piece man!
I have a colt 1911a1 that colt took from commercial contract and knocked the commercial serial numbers and put military ones along with the other military markings
@@ryanhovious1664 not so much the oiling but as far as removing what he was calling "rust" would cause it to loose some value that's what they call a patina and collectors of these vintage weapons appreciate the vintage look so it would become less valuable
If that is one from the Remington Arms then it's super expensive. Remington arms generally made other things for the war effort and are reported to have only delivered 10,000 to 15,000 1911s for the war effort. In all likelihood, you are shooting a Remington Rand made 1911. They were a typewriter and business machine manufacturer. Remington Rand made over 900,000 1911 a1 firearms for the war effort. They are $2,000 and up due to them being the only guns ever made by Remington Rand and thus the most affordable oddity firearm from the war. Weapons made by Singer or other non-firearm manufacturers tend to be way more. Also, as shown by the video, condition is an issue for these guns, and there are only so many in a condition you would want to buy.
That ear protector totally has a signal. Just sayin. “If you know, you know…” J. Lo. And the 1911 is the gun that inspired the phrase “It works every time.” 😮
Should I get a tisas tanker (compact 1911 in .45) or an mc p35 pi (compact hi power in 9mm)? My other handguns are a 5" m&p mod 2.0 9mm, a bersa thunder combat .380, and a .38 special Rossi Smith and Wesson clone that I cut the barrel, grip and trigger guard down on. I plan on carrying it instead of my bersa thunder, which I usually carry save for the occasional instance that I carry the revolver in a pocket holster in my jacket.
Instead of running your finger on the trigger guard use it for gripping your dominant hand it just doesn’t lend itself well ergonomically for it if it were more squared off sure
I have a service grade 1943 Remington Rand M1911A1 from the CMP. The slide is a Colt National Match Hard slide with a matching chrome lined barrel from a USAF Marksmanship contract in the 1980's. This was from Round 3 CMP 1911 Sales. I have RGN for Round 4.
Honestly, it has a lot of recoil for 1911, Because The 1911 handguns that I've shot before in the past didn't have that much recoil, Either that or i'm just used to them.
Is there a word or descriptor for videos like this? I see it copied quite a bit. Show gun, throw or drop gun on wood table, drop or pour ammo on table, show cut edited magazine loading, then fire gun. Does dropping things imply tough IDGAF vibes? It’s like certain TikTok videos all look the same, these have that feel as well
Old 1911 frames are actually rather weak and aren’t meant to shoot modern loads anything hot might crack the frame I’d recommend even shooting subsonic it is a piece of history after all.
That was a popular grip shooting competitors used back in the late 1970’s, through the early 1980’s. Guns were modified with checkering on the front of the trigger guard to help support this style of hold. Even though this grip is rarely used today, many manufacturers continue offering squared off and checkered trigger guards to this day (Glock, Sig, H&K). With so many people choosing to mount a wml, it’s become somewhat superfluous. But for whatever reason, it has become a standardized design feature
Happys on all models that dont have the extented dove tail ,its because the webbing in between yr thung an point the skin folds an over laps on the tail then the hammer fails back ,biting the webbing of yr skin
@@The_LocalGuy rearward thumb should be over the safety, and forward thumb should rest on the slide. This not only levels the gun to the sights, it prevents recoil from partially engaging the safety when your thumb hits it. Thumb down promotes failure to eject and can cause a squib. As for the fingers, I learned it as drawing hand covered, but that happens normally. If you have time to interlace them, you aren't in a life or death situation.
Adjusted for inflation 26 bucks is about 400 dollars today
Is difficult to measure the true numbers, they had a standard back then
@@user-kw1ig4yu6i interesting feedback
You can hardly find a 1911 for less then 600 nowadays

That's just a Remington Rand. The rare ones are the Remington UMC.

Interesting. I hear a gun is made by Remington and my first thought is not a typewriter company. Good little tid bit, ty

Its designed to be shot one handed
And upside down
On horseback

I have one. It belonged to my late uncle.
He carried it throughout the Pacific theatre when he was in the United States Marine Corps.
The most beautyfull gun ever made
Maybe if you put more than your ring finger in the right place youd be able to grip it better

I own one of these beauties (late 1943) and let me tell you what; she has the smoothest action of all of my guns. No cap !
Best memories were made with my best friend and a old 1911 that had no front sights
Imagine what story’s this pistol has
it’s a huge part of American History, it’s going to cost alot, but will be worth every penny
The finger on the trigger guard😭

Target idea: German stehelm helmet.
Still have two singer's inherited one and bought the other in the 79. 600
I had one issued to me for my deployment to Desert Shield-Storm. It rattled like a '74 Ford Pinto.
My first hand gun is a Springfield range officer 1911. Still my my favorite after 10 years.
I have one R1 S Remington I love it
I specifically bought a 1911 because it was heavy
He dropped the slide on an empty chamber! Meow 🐱
The remington 1911 is my dad's service pistol, exactly like that. I'm sure many viewers here have dads who owned that gun...
I have a colt 1911a1 that colt took from commercial contract and knocked the commercial serial numbers and put military ones along with the other military markings
Remington and Remington Rand are completely 2 different companies
You need a better grip on that homie. Thats the only rec I got for ya 🤙🏽
Remington Rand was the largest producers of .45s followed by cold. Singer, union switch and signal are among the rarest.
clean off the rust and apply some oil, preserve whats still there
It's called a patina and the gun would lose alot of value if he did that
@@hatman23433only if he sells it. I like my rare guns shiny

You should try and get your hands on the Colt M45A1.

Can you do a video on how you take care of your guns especially the older rare and expensive ones?
Fun fact to prevent hammer bite you should hold the gun teapot style with your left under the mag
Dam that thing for some rust issues must’ve been in a old safe in a wet ass basement would be my guess
I've been looking for an Ithaca made one that isn't being sold at tweaker prices for the better part of twenty years.
Great video,the gun looks great
Revolvers were also designed to hold with one hand but we use both hands now. We call it progress.
For targets get some tannerite or a ballistic dummy like they use on forged in fire.
Squeeze a tennis ball repeatedly
And some people used to shoot em with one hand
Now all you need to do is slap a holosun red dot on there and you're set
That's my girl

Better without the commentary

Thank you for your input.. seeing what the people/algorithm want
This is Remington Rand, not the arms company.

Good grief what is that grip?

This was from Round 3 CMP 1911 Sales. I have RGN for Round 4.
Its lifetime of one
Why are you holding it like that. Why is there a finger on the trigger guard
Browning designed it to be shot one handed
Was there any difference between Remington &. Colt which was better
Also you shouldn’t use the slide release unless there’s a bullet in the mag about to go I. The chamber or it can mess with the guns internals
MEOW
The 1911 i was issued was made by Ithaca..
Holy shit. I actually have this lol… it was passed down from my grandpa.🤯
“Only” $26 lol
It ain’t too hard to string that thing up properly.
I think it's cool.
26 dollars in 1938 is equal to about 570 usd today
How much are these worth tho? 5k?

Sleepy Joe silhouette target.
Ill never understand how m1 carbines had like 6 million rifles made yet cost $1500 and if you shop at the cmp way more expensive than an m1 garand.
I think its because we gave so many away in the 50s & 60s like to South Korea
Try a match master 1911 for rarity js
