It’s called a 6 o’clock hold. It’s where you need to aim to hit the bullseye for this gun. some guns shoot point of aim, point of impact. Good video, I have the combat commander in blue finish, my lgs has a defender in blue also, considering picking it up.
I really need to learn how to shit at 6 o clock. Ima gonna do some research and hope for the best! And thanks brother! And how does she shoot? And man they shoot great and they come in 45 or 9mm I personally chose 45 you can never go wrong.
Hey Javi I wanted to ask i recently purchased a Colt as well , and wanted to ask you if you store yours in it original box or do you keep it another bag or box? Appreciate you bro!
I picked up one today. Since I didn't have a Colt in my 1911 collection. I was disappointed that it only came with one magazine. Even tho I have more. At the price point they could put 2 magazines with it. Be safe 👍🏼🇺🇸
Yea man I agree 100% this should at minimum come with 2 mags but I definitely recommend you get the Wilson combat 8rd mag. It’s a lot better than the standard colt.
Also if you get a chance. Luck up the Kimber recoil spring system 3". I think the part number is 4000465. It will make your life a lot easier when reassembling it. The original Colt guide rod is two pieces. And it's hard to get the barrel camber/ lug in place for the slide pin to line up during reassembling. Nite and day difference. And it fills the gap at the end of your barrel and frame/ slide area. I ordered another Colt defender magazine off of eBay. Definitely my winter carry gun. Take care and be safe 👍🏼🇺🇸
My first pistol was a USGI 1911A1 .45ACP. So everything standard pistol caliber after that had mild recoil. Haha. Except maybe 10mm. Now the .45 Colt in a single action army cowboy revolver had some serious kick to it. You get used to the recoil if you put the practice in. To me its not that bad but like I said I started on .45ACP. You can put in a recoil spring and guide rod buffer kit but I never noticed much of a difference with it. It is slightly tamer if you shoot 185gr. Lead SWC or Winchester Silver Tips. Little bit better control with the lighter bullets.
That’s a hell of a first gun, I can imagine how well accustomed you are to .45 if you shot it as much and off a revolver 45 colt yea for sure what your used to is on a different level. I’ve been working on it, jt has gotten way better I’m assuming since I’m used to 9mm .45 is a pretty big jump but it’s not to bad it’s getting easier honestly brother thanks for your advice I for sure will be looking into the recoil spring and guide rod.

I got one 4yrs ago like yours and it's a aluminum frame. Added a set of Hogue rubberized finger grips to help with the recoil.
Does it really? If so I might have to look into it.
Grabbed one yesterday thanks to your video. 💯
How are you liking it?
Great gun. Got my 2 last fall when they finally came available again.
Yup they’re very hard to find! I looked everywhere I finally got it! How has it been for you?
