@@SMASHTIME I had COLTS back in the day like late 90s and I had them appraised by a credible 1911 dealer and he said the series 80 and the 1911s made in the 80s and 90s where made with plastic parts and that made them Junk and not worth anything in the future.he told me that the best Colt 1911s where series 70 and the ones made 1979 on back.and they would be work some money in the future
About a year ago when I was looking for a desert eagle 1911 to replace a Remington R1 stainless that I regretfully traded in, I looked at the colt competition in stainless but it was $2400, they also has the marine model for $1900. I could not justify spending that much money. The next day I ran across a springfield range officer target 45 acp which I purchased, very nice 1911. Since then I have purchased two desert eagles both 45 acp, a 5” stainless and 3”, they were my holy grail 1911’s. There was a well used colt officer model I saw yesterday but could not bring myself to spend $900 with that much wear. .
Just buy the colt and stop complaining. I like the deserts eagle 🦅 and other 1911 Not Springfield or kimber though But there’s nothing like a colt 1911. And you don’t have to worry about it losing value as quickly
@@SMASHTIME wish I could afford,, retired my last 2 pistols from PSA about the same as the colt. But I got 2 good runners. Tanfoglio Witness P10mm and Sar9. Very happy. Thsnks Smash
Worse thing you can do to a 1911 is slam the slide closed without a round in the chamber and make sure you keep it well lubed. You have a nice 1911 there I have always been a Colt fan, if you like that 1911 in 9mm you'll love the Wilson Combat 1911 in 9mm. I am surprised you don't reload. Nice shooting by the way.
Very simple process to do that overall matt finish. I use fine grit glass beads in my sandblaster. Complete disassembly, remove all the oils, mask the parts you don't want to finish and spray away. I normally do high polish finishes but there are areas as you pointed out that benefit from a non reflective finish.
@@josevillarino3649 No, not advised. The extractor will work but it has to do with the chambering that's not compatible. People have conversion kits to do this, barrels etc.
That’s why you can get away with just “8” round magazines, put them down every time. All these new “17” round models you need all the rounds to hit them 😝. 1911 all day, got them in 9, 10 & 45, government, compact, Officer and sub-compact, wouldn’t leave home without one. 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Own one in 45 Mine came with two colt stamped mags. Few hiccups early on But runs smooth now Changed the grips to Wilson combat Xs big dot sights One of my favorite pistols. Definitely passing it to my son in about 30 yrs
Last month I made a birthday impulse buy on a 5" SA Ronin in 9mm, and i whole-heartedly agree that 9mm is one of the most enjoyable calibers to shoot in the platform. It makes me wish my other favorite 1911 caliber (.38 super) was more common, maybe someday.
I've got a 9mm 1911A1 and a 9mm/22tcm 1911A2. Once you are used to a .45 any 9mm 1911 feels like cheating. Outside diameter of the barrel is the same as a .45 but the inside is only reamed out to 9mm. That makes for a gun that looks like a carry piece on the outside but performs like a target pistol with weights screwed to the dust cover. Front sight tips up but there's no flipping at all like a .45. No real recoil so you can get away with thin grips and bushings and carry it comfortably.
You might consider a 22 Lr for economical practice and I agree about 2 mags especially today it’s hard to find some mags I normally want 5 to 6 mags for my pistols and I have a couple of my pistols by S&W I can’t find I always have been able to shoot my Colt 1911’s better than anything else, does this come i a Commander size?
While 1911s in 9mm seems to be the rave now … sorry can’t do it . If it’s a 1911, .45 .. 10mm or .38 Super . If I’m going to carry a 9mm it’s going to be a Browning Hi Power or one of the newer clones . I’ve got the new Springfield Armory SA35. Good shooting , awesome looking gun
I would really really like one of those! lol, and in 9mm cause thats what i have the most of and cheapest really to shoot with! 45 or 10mm would be cool down the road for me but i already have 4 calibers to buy and have ammo for already! love it
Let me know if you liked the Thumbnail to this video?
Why a colt?
@@TheRealZJE313 why not
Colt is over priced
Thumb nail is what got me tuned in!

Very little felt recoil, typical crisp 1911 trigger, very accurate match grade barrel. Nice acquisition. 🔥👍💪🇺🇸
Thank you sir.
I have a Colt .45 Gov't Model and a Springfield "Loaded" stainless 9mm 1911 I bought 10 years ago. The 9mm is about 1/2 price to shoot.
Colt is a gorgeous runner!! Congratulations 👏,
Thank you Randy

Very nice… but hey it’s a 1911 best trigger in town. You’re right you should get more than one mag for that price.
at least 2

@@SMASHTIME just looking out for a fellow 1911 shooter.
@@SMASHTIME hello sir very nice video, question for you is it true you can shoot 9mm to 1911 38 super barrel.
Second worse is to slam the slide on an empty gun. Amateur move.
@@warrenrosen2326 As I'm an Amateur that makes perfect sense hahaA
Love it! I have a Colt standard government 70 series in 45 auto and it’s the most reliable 1911 I have. I need to pick up a 9mm version soon.

thank you shall order one this week
I have 2 Colt 45’s and yes sir they do make you a better shot. I love shooting them. A 1911 in 9mm is definitely in my future.
just do it hahaa like Nike
The 1911s keep coming even after that GTR money is out 😯
hahaa I do have a job brotha.. and a wife that is letting me have a mid life crisis.
@@SMASHTIME I guess I need to wait for my mid life crisis for my wife to allow the same 😆
Congrats on your new firearm! I used to call myself a purist and only say 45acp until I shot a 1911 in 9mm.
I have owned or own six 45 acp 1911’s. A 9 mm version is on my shopping list. Hopefully whatever I end up purchasing will be reliable as my 45’s.
@@willwilliam217 Dan Wesson makes a very good 1911 in 9mm. The new Springfield Armory Ronin is also very good.

Sweet gun I have looked at this model before. It's on my list.
Shootouts Luke a dream
it looks very good, here in my country it is scarce and somewhat expensive to buy it ($2000 approx)
All my new Colts came with two mags. I wouldn't surprise if someone had pilfered one of the mags before you bought it.

I’ve never fired one of these but have handled one at the store. Beautiful piece
Me encanta el colt 1911 competition, es de mis favoritas.
Thats a nice gun. good shooting by the way
Nice.. email me at Smash_time@yahoo.com.
Great shooting, I’ve never owned a 9mm 1911. Looks like a great option
That one’s a beauty in 38 super as well!
do you have one?
Got colt custom shop in 38 super. Think 10 is hard to find. Try 38 super. But unfortunatly im afraid to shoot it. Worth to much.
If you have that anniversary edition with the engraving & gold hardware, yeah I’d be afraid to shoot that as well…but I’d still wanna,lol!
I do..but..i fondle it..lol

Great Video Man.
Very Informative.
Awsome Shooting.
As I am looking to getting One.
How Much are they going for $$$ ??
Please Advise
Great looking gun! Lots of luck.
That 10mm was a good buy
I think so
I must say you pick some super sexy guns.
Nice pistol and shootin

Try 60 feet, you will still hit bull’s eye, this is why I love the 1911 in 9 mm
Hey SMASHTIME can you share were you bought this gun? I’m in Houston and can’t find it anywhere.
gunbroker
Hell yea 9mm 1911 rocks
Dont have one in 9. Hmmm...love 1911..
My only bitch about the four colts I own ……1 magazine!!!! 30 bucks for an extra mag( probably 15 for colt) and a thousand for the gun and I get 1!!!!!
Nice !!!
Thank you for watching buddy . appreciate ya
Beautiful 😍
Was t cleaned an oiled between each range trip?
always
I don’t get why the 9mm still only has eight in the clip? Someone explain
$17 for a box of 9 mm, still $23.99 around central Mi.
Cool 😎
It is posible to convert it to ambidex safety?
Ok made up my mind. Looking..
You won't regret it
I have its big brother, from the custom shop.
The custom competition, In 9mm.
Nice gun man.
Thank you Chippster, Appreciate you watching the video
What was the feeling shooting the blazer ammo 🤔
Ammo is expensive. Solution: buy another pistol
Put your glasses on!
I know it. I once filmed like 20 min without glasses. argghh
What range in our area do you prefer
How’s the reliability?
Rock solid, Thank you for watching the video
@@SMASHTIME did you try some defensive ammo?
Did you run any hp though it
Yes. worked great.
Not much muzzle flip on that Colt!
not at all. Its a surprise at first. I keep expecting it
Why a colt?
Those glasses aren’t doing much good on top of your head.
No it's like buying a 4 cylinder Mustang
