    I just recently got my first 1911 and got it customized with some art engraving and new paint job. It can be hard to find a good affordable 1911 and I think it’s best to get a classic GI style I got mine from Springfield Armory for $700 and do your own custom work on there to make it uniquely your own. I spent another $700 on that so around $1,400 which does take it from affordable on up to luxury price but it’s a really nice classic gun to have and with the art work it just makes it a lifetime collectible to have!

    I have a Bersa Thunder .40 S&W, DA/SA, 1911 style, compact, 7" total length, safety/decocker, 13 round I think. Probably made in the 90s. It's all metal and a little bit heavy in my small hands, leading to barrel drop.
    Is there any reason why decockers seem relatively uncommon? Is it safe to use decockers with a round in the chamber prior to reholstering?

    @garyK.45ACP 4 роки тому +1

    My two cents...
    1911 is for .45 ACP. (Or .38 Super Auto if you must) Browning Hi-Power is for 9mm. 😋
    I have 5 1911s. All .45s I LOVE them, I do not always carry one, but when I do, I feel very well armed. I switch out between a Kimber Ultra Carry, a S&W Model 642 or a S&W .380 Bodyguard...all depending on my wardrobe for that day. When the weather allows, I will take one of my full size or Commander models, or a Browning Hi-Power for a walk, but I live in a warm climate and it is not always practical to wear an adequate cover garment for the bigger guns. I do not like IWB carry, so I am usually packing the Kimber Ultra Carry when I carry a 1911.

      9mm probably has less recoil. Some people hate the recoil of higher calibers

    Matt, I just purchased a Springfield EMP Contour Carry, my first 1911. Really appreciate this video on how to run a 1911. Great video.

      Oscar, I hope Springfield did better QC on yours. Haven't shot mine yet, failed before the first round and was sent back to Springfield for repair of faulty take down pin retention. Hope to get it back today.

    Excellent video, as always. Q: Why is the 1911 still being made? A: Because they're so popular. Q: Why are they so popular? A: Because they're that good! Name one other piece of technology from around 1911 that's still in production, other than a revolver, let alone as wildly popular as the 1911.

      Matthew Robinson, one word: reliable. I used the M1911A1 in combat.in all types of terrain conditions. Even the annual monsoons couldn't kill it. I never cleaned it in country. It was more abused than me, but always faithful. I hope that answered your question, Matt.

    Refine a lefty handed version. I own 5 1911’s and would love a fully ambidextrous 1911. Not even high dollar custom 1911’s will come with a ambidextrous mag release only ambidextrous safety. You’re a lefty so you know what I mean. It’s the only reason I don’t have a 1911 as my edc. Another reason I own 6 FNs 100% ambidextrous.

    • @murphroberts4891
      @murphroberts4891 5 років тому

      If you want an ambi mag release, pay the $100 and quit whining.
      Personally, it doesn't hurt my feelings to use my left index finger to dump the magazine.

      BeastDr ok.... you don't pluralize by adding an apostrophe and an "s" to a word. This is just basic English grammar. Of course, Americans don't have real good grasp of basic English grammar anyway.

      @murphroberts4891 5 років тому

      Surely, you aren't fool enough to compare the reliability of Harley Davidson to that of a 1911.
