When dug up by archeologists in 500 years: Matt's Ranch: there was a war here Brandons Range: there was a BIG party here... They drank shitty white claw though
@Henry Schnelle the 1911 is the best firearm I've ever held. I love how it shoots too. The recoil is right up my alley and the smell of gunpowder lingers on clothes the entire rest of the day
"John Moses Browning was one of the most prolific weapon designers possibly in all of human history, and, in the early 20th century, he made absolute perfection. It was called the Browning hi-power, but before that, he made this, the 1911" - Brandon Herrera
@@jordanhicks5131 To be "that guy," JMB died in 1926 and the HP design wasn't finalized until 1934. Colt held the 1911 patents, which didn't expire until 1928, so Browning had to design around those restrictions. After Browning's death and the patent expiration, FN made some big changes to the HP and re-incorporated a lot of 1911 elements.
The BHP is a great gun but ultimately a mixed bag. It's action is better than 1911's as there is not a barrel link. it's lockup is were the gun runs into trouble, since the transfer bar is slide mounted it eliminates any real trigger work being done to it. BHP has generally pretty gritty triggers as well. They have a magazine disconnect a problem searching for a solution. Some of the more classic HP's their sights suck. The safety is mushy and does not very affirmatively click into place like a 1911, on top of that its safety lever is very small. Reloading them fast can be a chore since its a big square magazine with a mag well without flaring in addition to the disconnect. Honestly the 1911 has the aftermarket for a reason, and it's not just because "Muh 45" it's objectively a more ergonomic handgun, and there is not a pistol that outdoes a 1911 like a 1911. But there is pistols do what BHP does better like the CZ-75.
@@bobjackson4287 But the Sig P220 exists and is better than a 1911 in pretty much every way. When you throw in DA/SA pistols, you have lots more that are better than the 1911 as well.
I've carried my 1911 for over thirty five years so I guess it's relevant to me. Never had misfeeds with quality ammo. 230 grain hollowpoints are guaranteed to turn a head into a canoe. Polish your feed ramp and do a few other little tweaks and it's just as reliable as any other sidearm on patrol. Proper maintenance is the key. Yeah, it's heavy as fuck but I prefer the weight. Besides in a pinch and out of ammo you can beat an opponent to death with it. Your mileage may vary.
First pistol I ever built and second firearm I ever owned was the 1911 about 18 or so years ago. Still love them. Still always will. Still will always be my first choice. Even my little bastardized Kimber 9 mm 2011!
You sir, are not only a true patriot but an absolute legend. I just bought my first gun 2 months ago and its also Turkish replica 1911A1 from TISAS like Brandon used here; I have had doubts about using it for carrying but after seeing your comment I want to get more training with it before I but something like a Glock or SIG. 2 WORLD WARS; its still good for a reason.
When he said "He made absolute perfection in a handgun" I was like "Well, at least he acknowledges that the 1911 is the best handgun ever". And then he said the Browning High Power and I screamed
Best handgun is the one that you can hit shit with. I'm a better shot with a glock 22 than I am with a 1911, but that's just me. (Seems kinda ass backwards because the 1911 has a much crispier trigger.)
My dad, a Vietnam Vet, used to describe the 1911 as every bit as good as the WW2 vets say it is but you should never admit it to them since they won't ever shut up if you do.
That Hi-Power line had my dying. It's hilarious, everyone in my family wants a gun from my grandad when he finally returns to his unit above, but nobody but me wants his Army sidearm. They want his M4 or Police carry L-frame, then there's me in the corner satisfied that I get the Hi-Power that helped him find his way out of the jungles of Vietnam after his platoon was wiped out in a Heli crash. "A bully gun for the man who refused to die" is on the case he keeps it in, the words of the medics that found him two weeks later, 15 miles from the crash site.

@@DieselRamcharger The US army doesn't use it as a standard issue pistol anymore and most of the rest of the world used the Hi Power. It still exists on the civilian market because it's cheap to manufacture compared to a bunch of other handguns, but it's still kind of obsolete. That's like saying bolt action rifles aren't obsolete when no one issues these as standard infantry rifles.
@@caffeinatedinsanity2324 Nope. Its not obsolete. Thats the beauty of it. In 100 years. 200 years. When those modern pistols that were all outlawed after the 4th war have since fallen apart, succumbed to time. But a man can still dig up great great great grandpappies 1911 from under the begonias and kill himself a commie just fine. Since the series 80 1911 there have not been but a small handful of design changes to the modern pistol. aesthetics. cheaper materials, cheaper manufacturing sure. But the designs of the gun are all damn near identical. tipping barrel actions. Same reason rifle technology hit a big ole brick wall with the AR. There really isnt any place to go. Once you understand human kinematics ballistics and chemistry you understand internal combustion firearms are very limited. There is no great progress to be made.
"...he made absolute perfection, the Browning Hi-Power. But before that, he made this.." In my circle those are fighting words. Comrad you need to eat less borscht!
Great quote about the high power. Interesting history note browning didn't originally design the 1911with a grip safety and many serious pistol shooters modified their gun by pinning that grip safety down.
i have one of each, but as i don't give a fuck about your brass at the range, i claim no worse than the title of fudd lite, my finnish mosen, norenco underfolder and russian sks shall never be bubba'd while i live
The only reason that the Mexican Fudds argue about .38 Super is because Mexican law prohibits civilian ownership of military calibers. Otherwise, they'd all be shooting the .45 version.
Love the Browning HP. Really is perfection in the form of a handgun. Also love the CZ 75b. If I know one thing, it's that the Czechs know how to make a good firearm.
LOL I saw a bearded biker responding to a question about "firearms you have no respect for." He said, "If I'm killed by someone with a Hi-Power, please tell my family I was sodomized to death in a gay bathhouse instead."
@@MrJeffcoley1 Wow, I don't often hear that sort of distain for the Hi-Power. To each their own, I guess. I mean, I steer clear of anything made by Taurus because literally every Taurus I've ever shot has either misfired or had cycle failures. But, I know plenty of looney-tunes who love Taurus.
I love my .45 simply because I know it works. I hated the M9 in the Army, utterly loathed the Beretta design, so I admit being biased against 9mm. Maybe someday I'll find a 9mm pistol I actually like, but until then, I'll stick with my trusty .45.
@@theilluminati7287 yeah, we got 4" (some areas got more) of snow here in central Texas yesterday (sunday)... Apparently school was canceled on Monday.
@@ericcrome2168 multiple states have pistol season, usually they use something like 357/44 mag or 10mm, but any straight walled cartridge over .350 in diameter is USUALLY what's allowed by law.
Most European Nations during the World Wars issued handguns as status symbols for their officers sometimes in sub 9mm like 32Cal. The US gave the M1911 in 45 to fighting men on the front. Sgt York did receive the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, gathered 35 machine guns, killing at least 25 enemy soldiers and capturing 132 prisoners with a 1911.
Mostly because Matt’s 10m sub video will be “How many ‘insert random object’ will it take to stop a .50 BMG?” My guess his random object for that one will be children lol
In rad millers book, what do you mean i cant kill them, a navy seal memior in Vietnam, he writes on the last page. hed tried every automatic pistol available, but when it came to ' knockdown' power, the ole 1911. Its a good read.😎
I hate you for making me feel old! I carry a 1911 because growing up, it was my favorite pistol. So I said buy once cry once, saved up and bought a Colt gold cup trophy. Love it.

Hey there Brandon. I currently own a Taurus PT1911 that I absolutely fell in love with. I've shot pistols for awhile and I never understood the fascination with the 1911 so I decided to go and take a chance and purchased mine brand new for just under $600.00 and put a few boxes of ammo thru it. I can tell you it shoots plenty straight. I've got the full sized 1911 with the 5inch barrel. The recoil isn't too bad with the longer barrel and I've even fired it one handed with no real difficulty. Of all the fire arms I currently own, if I ever had to get rid of my pistols then my 1911 would be the one that I would hold onto. It's a great pistol that didn't break the bank.
"The best designs are the timeless ones. The wheel, light bulb, sliced bread, this weapon ranks among them. The M1911. A century of service and ready for another hundred years more."

I retired in ‘97 after 30 years, and three on-duty shootings w/my thirty-eight. Twice the suspect was dropped and once, after four center mass hits from my Colt DS, the suspect had to be brought down w/my blackjack. The idea of stopping power is a myth, it’s all about shot placement. The incident where I hit a suspect w/four center mass shots failed b/c he was high on heroin and feeling no pain. He did die in the hospital the following day. What I learned from all this was carry what you shoot best & practice often. My EDC is a 340PD, or LCP, depending on how I have to dress but I practice often w/both weapons.
its not all about the placement like you said when theyre on drugs or high on adrenaline or something like that if they werent on drugs those 4 shots to the center mass wouldve been more than enough to drop someone that wasnt on drugs etc like that or at least make them reconsider harming you if it didnt kill them

@@DieselRamcharger The US army doesn't use it as a standard issue pistol anymore and most of the rest of the world used the Hi Power. It still exists on the civilian market because it's cheap to manufacture compared to a bunch of other handguns, but it's still kind of obsolete.
That's like saying bolt action rifles aren't obsolete when no one issues these as standard infantry rifles.
@@caffeinatedinsanity2324 Nope. Its not obsolete. Thats the beauty of it. In 100 years. 200 years. When those modern pistols that were all outlawed after the 4th war have since fallen apart, succumbed to time. But a man can still dig up great great great grandpappies 1911 from under the begonias and kill himself a commie just fine. Since the series 80 1911 there have not been but a small handful of design changes to the modern pistol. aesthetics. cheaper materials, cheaper manufacturing sure. But the designs of the gun are all damn near identical. tipping barrel actions. Same reason rifle technology hit a big ole brick wall with the AR. There really isnt any place to go. Once you understand human kinematics ballistics and chemistry you understand internal combustion firearms are very limited. There is no great progress to be made.

Hey there Brandon. I currently own a Taurus PT1911 that I absolutely fell in love with. I've shot pistols for awhile and I never understood the fascination with the 1911 so I decided to go and take a chance and purchased mine brand new for just under $600.00 and put a few boxes of ammo thru it. I can tell you it shoots plenty straight. I've got the full sized 1911 with the 5inch barrel. The recoil isn't too bad with the longer barrel and I've even fired it one handed with no real difficulty. Of all the fire arms I currently own, if I ever had to get rid of my pistols then my 1911 would be the one that I would hold onto. It's a great pistol that didn't break the bank.

I just picked up a sds 1911a1 army. Love it. My first 1911 as well. That after 18 years with my CZ 82.
I retired in ‘97 after 30 years, and three on-duty shootings w/my thirty-eight. Twice the suspect was dropped and once, after four center mass hits from my Colt DS, the suspect had to be brought down w/my blackjack. The idea of stopping power is a myth, it’s all about shot placement. The incident where I hit a suspect w/four center mass shots failed b/c he was high on heroin and feeling no pain. He did die in the hospital the following day. What I learned from all this was carry what you shoot best & practice often. My EDC is a 340PD, or LCP, depending on how I have to dress but I practice often w/both weapons.
Based.
Why'd you shoot someone who's passing out every ten seconds? Heroin junkies aren't on PCP and can literally just be side stepped.
@@brandondavis7777 Thats not necessarily true in every case.
@@brandondavis7777 wow😒🤦🏻♂️😑
its not all about the placement like you said when theyre on drugs or high on adrenaline or something like that if they werent on drugs those 4 shots to the center mass wouldve been more than enough to drop someone that wasnt on drugs etc like that or at least make them reconsider harming you if it didnt kill them
