Sweet! Excellent choice!
I have a soft spot for 1911’s. The first handgun that I shot was a ragged out Government Model 1911-A1 at age 14. Fell in love with it immediately. When I finally turned 21, my first handgun was a Colt Satin Nickel Combat Commander in 45 ACP. The first thing I did was put on a set of Pachmyar grips. Several months later, I was able to score a pre-WW2 nickeled Government National Match 1911-A1 with Micro Bullseye target sights, raised front sight and serialized barrel and bushing. That Beast is a real tack driver. About three years ago, I almost came home with a Colt M45A1 but I hesitated and it was gone the next day 😢.
You chose a real beauty.
My wife is 4'10 and loves shooting a 1911 in 45. She has her polymers in 9mm, but after she shot my 1911s, she how wants her own. She just shoots it better than she shoots her PPQ or her p365. Our daughter also loves the 1911 and even has one of her own. And of course it's also in 45. No dual recoil springs in any of them. Just standard. Makes it easier for me personally to replace springs when needed if they all use the same spring.
Theres just something about the recoil impulse of a 45acp especially out of a steel frame 1911. I love my 9mms and own way more of them than i do 1911s due to the huge price difference, but the 1911 will always be my favorite handgun.
Its interesting every woman ive let shoot my colt. Just loves the 1911. They all say they like the way it feels. And they like the .45 CALIBER and everyone says they were fine with the recoil. Then they want one over all the the other pistols they say they have shot.And these are woman that dont really even shoot. I feel the same way it just feels right over any other handgun ive shot. I hate stryker fired. I am not a fan of plastic guns. I prefer the .45 myself over 9mm. or .40. They all feel like big bulky 2x4 in the hand.
Very nice 1911. Great Video
Thank you! Happy New Year’s!
Great review! Love your content. I spoke with Colt Custom Shop today and they said they are going to start offering the Custom Carry in a full size. They even sent me a list of custom shop dealers to pre order from. Model number O1080CS. Thanks for turning me on to a fantastic firearm 😊
I’m glad you made the call, you can’t go wrong with a Custom!!
@@yourhuckleberry6372 I couldn’t agree more! Keep up the great videos!
@@jpduder13I’m trying my best! Thank you!!
also love the RING HAMMER not usual that you see that on a Govt size model those are primarily seen on the carry classics. Nice to see it making a comeback.
Great to see the ladies getting into fine firearms. This bad baby will appreciate nicely and be a legacy piece. Let us know how it shoots. I went with a Sig Ultra carry with an alloy lower and Sig nite sights in 9mm 3.5 officer that weights in at 25 ozs. to carry and a Tisas Carry commander to tinker with 4.25 at 35 ozs. Believe it or not the Star BM9 and tinkering with it got me into the full 1911 platform. It was my "gateway drug" and a great set of training wheels for the real thing.
I started off with a Springfield 1911 basic government model and loved the gun how it was but I wanted to open up the door for myself with customizing a 1911. I put Nighthawk, Wilson Combats, Ed Brown, EGW, Nowlin parts, etc. So far I have put $2,000+ on my firearm. That’s not counting the price of the gun. Just like you said, it can become addicting customizing a firearm to get it how you want it. It’s amazing watching the transformation as you change parts. It’s good to hear from other people who share the same interest!
Thank you for commenting, it’s much appreciated!!
This video put a smile on my face because......it is so refreshing to see someone younger than fifty appreciating a 1911, a Colt, and an up-scale Colt at that. I just took delivery of a Colt myself (not my first) and feel very pleased with it. Thank you for the review!
Thank you and I am glad I was able to put a smile on your face! 1911’s are my favorite! What Colt did you just get? I’m guessing you have a couple 1911’s yourself….
@@yourhuckleberry6372 I am a Bullseye shooter, nearly, but not all, of my 1911s are target models with Bomar sights. The newest Colt is no exception, it is the Gold Cup Trophy. Haven't even field-stripped it yet it is so new (or fired it).
@@granddad-mv5ef awsome! I’ve put much consideration into competitive shooting but never had the courage to take the step forward. I have A LOT to learn and am too shy to take initiative! Good luck with your shooting and congrats on your gold cup trophy! Be safe!
The extra $1000 spent is probably extras just for the Colt brand, like S&W name does to their brand, but it is what it is, and it is a COLT ! More power to you. Looking forward to your next video on the Wilson Combat. Lastly I just subbed to your channel...
Thank you so much for subscribing! My Wilson Combat video is already out! Up next will be Wilson Vs. Staccato. It’s taking me a little longer to push out the video due to some life nonsense but I’m hoping within this upcoming week it will be published!! Thank you for watching my video and for the comment it’s very much appreciated!

@@yourhuckleberry6372 Yeap I realized that and watched it already soon as I wrote that. So now then , I am ready to watch your next video, Wilson vs Staccato.
@@davidavi8554 lol. Thank you for watching my videos. I’m going to attempt to finish up the video today.

This is awesome video very very informative didn’t know that was an option and you chose the best model to make it a rail gun with custom shop features only seen those models in commanders 9mm and 45 keep up your reviews I love my colts
Hence your name! That was your “I love my colts giveaway” 🙃. Thank you. It means a lot. I have an Anaconda 1993 fist gen & 2021 second gen that I will be reviewing in the future. I have a couple other Colts but I can’t give it all away then it wouldn’t be no fun!! Lol. I will keep you in suspense until then!!
Edited to add: please like and subscribe, I can use the help to keep my page running. Your support matters!
Just bought a Tisas, 1911 45 cal. 390 dollars. Looks just like a W.W.2 model.
Congrats on the new purchase! Have you had a chance to shoot it yet.
@@yourhuckleberry6372 Yes went up to the Nemadji State Forest, fired one box of 50. 45. Ball ammunition. Worked perfectly. Never leave home with out it. Also have the Rock Island 45 1911. That one was 420 dollars. There good enough for me. I like Colts, to expensive. No offense intended. St.Paul.Minnesota.
@@johndemeen5575 only reason the Colt is in my collection is because it’s my husbands dream gun/build. If your thinking “well, what about your Wilson Combat” that was my dream gun/build. The both of us do have inexpensive firearms in our collection as well. I just have not made videos in a while. Once I start getting into the videos again you will have a chance to see my entire collection!! (I don’t take any offense on UA-cam) I’m a female making “only real MEN know about guns” videos, I get slammed ever once in a while but I know when someone is trying to push my buttons. Lol. Thank you for watching my video. And for commenting. Much appreciated.
$2800 + tax 8rds helllssss no.
So I just noticed how vague my last message was and I apologize. Here is what I should have said,
I don’t purchase firearms for the amount of rounds they hold. Let me explain explain why, It is always better to have. It gives us the best peace of mind we can get. Like buying a car with a warranty. I would prefer buying one that comes with 100,000 mile warranty instead of 50,000, or getting more coverage on an insurance. But this is not always the case. If you trust your firearm and most importantly trust yourself with the firearm, you will hit your threat. I have researched a study conducted by the FBI that I believe they call there 3,3,3 rule. It explains that most gun fight occurrences are within 3 seconds, 3 feet, and 3 shots. Not every scenario is the same but you can stop the threat even with a revolver, just as long as you’re proficient with your firearm. This is where you tactics and everything you practice in the range comes in to play! Like your reaction time to someone’s action. Taking your handgun out of the holster and taking your first shot within 1.5 seconds or less may give you the advantage. You don’t have to get an expensive firearm like the Colt. One of my conceal carry is an M&P shield 2.0 single stack and I trust that firearm with my life and it was less the $450.00. Almost all handguns can stop a threat (more so with a .45 acp) as long as you are proficient with it. I hopes this gives a better explanation as to why I don’t mind the amount of rounds my firearm holds!!
Now i probably went overboard. Lol. Either way, I apologize for my short comment earlier.
Hey i live in CT, big brother only allows us to have 10 while the criminals run around with 50 round drum mags and auto switches on their Glock. A nice 1911 with a Wilson 10 round mag and a spare is a solid choice.
Nice 1911 pistol! Similar to my Wilson Combat CQB 1911 Elite.
Thank you.
@@yourhuckleberry6372 I would like you to review the Beretta 92 Langdon Tactical! I have been curious about it. Even to customize my existing Beretta. I got the M9 America’s Defender Edition.
@@ricardoramos2468 that’s awesome! You should make a review on it! I’m sure there are a lot of people out there that would be very interested in what you have to say. I have not shot that firearm BUT I have heard from some people I know complain about the serrations. Seems more of aesthetics IMO but who knows! How do you feel about the grips on your Langdon Tactical Beretta?
Good review!
Thank you!!
great looking firearm the only thing I don't care much for on it is the fact it's a Series 80 not a Series 70. But Surprised in your trigger poundage even w/ that plunger adding more to it.
very beautiful 😍, thanks for sharing your inputs and impressions
Thanks for watching my video. I am glad you enjoyed. Please feel free to watch my other videos. I have a Colt Vs. Wilson Combat out if you were interested.
@@yourhuckleberry6372 lol you mention it i just watched it. i myself for the 1911 platform im a colt person, the dual recoil system does help mitigate recoil. i really like the government model custom carry you have it’s really nice. i really love those magwell. colt customer service is great as well they helped me out many times. i also subscribed looking forward for more videos , thanks.
@@ram218313 thank you. I’m glad you enjoy my videos. They will get better in time. As you can see I’m still new to this. Lol.
Awesome 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I don’t think many understand what the colt custom shop puts out. I personally could care less who colt uses for parts if they are superior parts, the custom shop also uses egw, I also use egw in my custom builds.
they make some the best. Stan Chen the same.
I would much rather have some of the best parts made than an inferior mim part that colt made.
Really most true high end custom 1911s are made from a small circle of part builders. And only a few build 1911 parts to that level. With forged or tool steel parts, held to tighter tolerances.
Colt is simply not set up with the tooling needed say to make a sear. With the hardness, or tight tolerances that egw does everyday.
For the most part, colt does not need that level of precision for most guns they build.
The custom shop being only a faction of total sales.
Anyway, it’s something to consider.
I love the gun you have, how is the frame to slide fit?
The bushing to frame? The barrel to bushing?
How it the lock up?
Wish you would have shown the test target.
It is the end game to the questions I asked.
People the colt custom shop is not an off the shelf gun, and the examples I have seen are on par with other custom builders in quality and pricing. Including my own.
My colt custom shop competition, one of the favorite guns I own. And I own umm a few.
I apologize for the late response! Mommy duties called and I was unable to respond. I also wanted to say thank you for the comment and for watching my video! It’s much appreciated!! Anywho, I agree in regards to Colt picking the better quality parts for their firearms. I have no issues with it and have no complaints on how they integrated the Stan Chen parts into my 1911. I thought it would be something good to mention due to the fact I was unaware of this when I bought my first Colt and thought maybe some others might not know.
Everything locks up tight. I was skeptical on getting the 80 series because I wanted it to be as close to the original 1911 (70 series). However, frame to slide does have a bit of wiggle room. This maybe only something you can recognize when comparing it to another custom 1911 or measuring it yourself with a feeler gauge tool. I don’t see it being an issue in regards to being tight to give you the best accuracy. I believe the room may be good to avoid any malfunction. Again, it’s very very minimal.
It is a great gun. I was surprised to see how much work and detail the gunsmiths at Colt put into their firearms. I own other custom 1911’s and have compared the work. In my opinion, it was money well spent.
I hope this answered all of your questions!
I will be making a video soon regarding the tightness of the firearm and comparing it to another. Please, stay tuned!!
It looks almost as good as my RIA ! Lmao ! Love the rock. With very dark green color, with G 10 grips ! Accurate and dependable , and at 1/ 4 $ less than the colt !
I completely agree. I think owning a firearm is like owning a car. Some don’t care about the details it comes with just as long as it runs and gets you from point A to point B. As soon as you add a new feature, it stands out. Just like a handgun, when you buy a firearm from the factory, it is at a great price and most of the time it is reliable. However, you can drastically notice the 3 lb trigger from a trigger kit/job than the factory trigger, or how precise and accurate it can be when you install a match grade barrel, even changing the recoil spring to suit one that stands up to your needs. Is it necessary to do all of this, absolutely not!! I just happen to love this as a hobby and a firearm begins to feel like a part of you and something you can pass down to your children (3 in my case) one day. It starts becoming more than something you can shoot, it becomes something you treasure, love, and have a passionate for!! I probably went way off topic but I hope I was able to get my point across. (This is being said from my heart, so please read it without the mindset of me being a female and automatically having an attitude) lol. Again, I completely agree with you that the RIA is a great gun, I am not trying to down talk at all. Thank you for commenting and watching my videos. It’s very much appreciated.
@@yourhuckleberry6372 yes what she said ! I can be your Huckleberry !
Very well done rundown on your new Colt. Kind of surprised me when a female likes a full-size 1911 .45 ACP. Colts aren’t cheap and never have been. There no doubt are better 1911’s out in the wild but if it doesn’t say Colt on it, it’s an imitation. One thing that bugs me about almost all reviews on You Tube re firearms is a real sit down on a rest accuracy test. Oh they have video of someone shooting the firearm sometimes, but rarely is a real accuracy test done and results shown. I won’t buy or keep a firearm that doesn’t meet my accuracy requirements. Anyway, quality has a price and it’s never cheap. Good luck with your videos.
Thank you very much! I have 2 more 1911’s. One being my Wilson, another I have not done a review on yet. But the not reviewed one was my practice build. I gutted it and added what I wanted!! Very fun!! Anyways, I have a lot of room for improvement with my shooting, I tell my husband it looks like I’m failing these guns and what they can do because my shooting isn’t on par! I’m trying! Thank you for the comment and for watching my video, I appreciate it.
Very nice
Thank you.
Wow - I'm jealous.
No need to be! I just got lucky that my husband and I have the same passion l!
is there a version without a rail?
Thank you for the comment! Yes. When I called, the Colt rep informed me that the original was in a commander size WITHOUT the rail. I wanted it with the rail and they stated it was available but in a government model only. They can do it WITHOUT the rail in a government model if that’s something you were interested doing. Just call and ask!
Woah woah woah… what the hell is this?? I didn’t know the Custom Carry Limited was available in a government model WTF!! Did you special order this or something? I have never seen one. I own a commander custom carry limited in 45.
Yes, I personally called Colt and asked them for it in a Government model. It was special ordered through their custom shot. (I wanted the rail and the government model) 😋. Anywho, thank you for viewing my video I hope you enjoyed it! I have more coming out soon. If you haven’t already seen it , I do have a Colt Vs. Wilson Combat video as well!! Stay tuned.
wow!

@@yourhuckleberry6372 👏👏😍✌ in the future consider going to make some shots in the range for youtube
@@DonPato1911 we’re purchasing steel targets and some other items for the range. We have two in Catholic school and a newborn lol so purchasing takes some time. I didn’t think my page was going to get any views much less followers so I did NOT plan accordingly. Lol.
That's kind of a heavy platform for most doughnut eatting officers I know. lol No disrespect fellas just ribbing.What do you guys think about the Bul armory 1911's?
I have not got into Bul Armory yet but the precise low pound trigger pull weight interests me given the fact of the price!
Colt are lazy I tried to order the same one and they pretty much said no to the government model limited carry with rail. Lame butt thinking going to Springfield professional 45
they worked with me fine, I was not negotiating pricing with them or anything like that. I’m not sure if their custom shop got bombarded with calls or they were only doing it for a limited time but that sucks that you weren’t able to get one. I wonder why….🤷🏻♀️. What did they tell you as far as why they wouldn’t do it for you?
Wow I can only afford 1911s out of turkey and Phil’s
Nothing wrong with that. If you ever need it in a self defense situation, and the police have to take it for evidence, you won't lose much if you never see your firearm again. But, if you lose a custom pistol, Wah-Wah, Wah, Wah!
@@USMC-ParrisIsland 😂
2800 are u serious....that'salmost wilson combat pricing but no where close to wilson combat quality...even if the fit is great the finish tells it all....900 gun...1100 max
I guess it depends on what your into and what brand you like/love. I love Wilson combat, my husband loves Colt. Stay tuned for my Wilson Vs. Colt video.
Thank you for the comment and watching my video. It’s much appreciated!!
overpriced, but so damn sexy. Wilson guns are my "someday" buys.
Thank you for reviewing my video and for the comment. The only reason I have one is because my husband surprised me with my “someday” gun! Colt is my husbands “someday” Wilson is mine!!
