im sorry, but actual experience is to the contrary, the 1911 inspired many guys like the sig 226, but while these evolved and improved, the 1911 was left behind. While it was reliable at the time, it has been surpassed by superior designs. That being said my 1911 is by far my favorite gun to shoot despite having a limited magazine, abeing unreliable, a pain to disassemble and clean.
The original 1911 might be obsolete these days, but the design itself has been kept up to date. The M45A1 CQBP is still the primary service pistol of the USMC's special operations units. It's still a 1911 at its core, just built to modern standards and requirements. Even the M1991, which is the current "pure" 1911 being offered by Colt AFAIK, is a solid and reliable piece.
It is more obsolescent. It still does its job, but if you were going to war, it would be way down the list of guns you would want to take. It is just too big and heavy and complex for what it does.
Really, anyone that has any interest in modern firearms, or the 1911 platform should watch the Tales of the Gun episode of Browning which is on youtube. Or any documentary on the man. I have no idea how one man can have this many revolutionary ideas on firearms. The only thing preventing me from thinking he's a time traveler is that his inventions are purely firearm related.
"This type of .45 Automatic pistol was designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago. Learning its use is a New Canaanite rite of passage."
John Browning passed away 96 years ago, and we still use his firearms. Seriously, even though the 1911 might be used on a smaller scale, the m2 browning machine gun is still heavily used globally. What a legacy
An Ordinator Indeed. This time shooting Heat Seeking 10mm explosive bullets that kill planets in one shot, or at least thats what anti-gunners want people to think.
I doubt it will change at all over the next 100 years. Unless we stat using laser weapons it will remain relevant, the m9 is in much more danger of going under, as military interest wanes and it lacks a strong civilian following.

Sam Beatty It is difficult to objectively prove reliability of one firearm over another and unless you have extremely concise criteria for your tests results will be inconsistent at best. For example I have a Colt 1911 that was made in July 1917, I have personally put over seven thousand rounds through it shooting as much as 500 rounds in a single sitting. I have never experienced any failures to feed extract or eject. It has shot every type of ammunition I have put through it from match to cheap blazers. The pistol operates clean dirty wet dry cold hot. I cannot say this for any other firearm I own.
you have different experiences than me. I have a custom kimber 1911and while it is an amazing pistol, I have to use high-grade ammo and clean it after every trip to the range. Even earlier today I had it fail to go into battery 5 times. I then switched to a sig p226 which has never jammed, and continued shooting. In my experience guns like the sig have taken the core of john brownings design and improved uppon it. I can dissassemble the pistol in 3 seconds, and because it has fewer moving parts, it is generally more reliable. Again, it is very similar to the 1911, but over a century of improvements in design have produced many superior guns. I would mention the glock, but everyone knows that those things are indestructable, but I don't like the ffel of striker-fires.
No one company makes or made the 1911, price and quality varies, pawn shops usually don't sell guns in good quality. Most pawn shops don't even know anything about guns.

My goodness, I’m slightly flabbergasted that you’d think I was anything but a full blown Brit! Fake?! Fake?! I’ll show you fake you little ragamuffin!
From one graphic designer to another. I have to say the minimalistic design and exceptional use of color and shape to represent each gun's recognizable profile and country of origin is nothing short of inspired. Keep up the good work!
I agree, but also remember the genius designs that made these guns so iconic and just overall SO bad-ass looking in the first place. The 1911 is a wonderful example of form AND function.
Millad Bahrami That would be very fitting, also Stu likes to push the release of his videos. (no complaining, surely they are worth the waiting) But sincerely I doubt it
+Aiden Green is he part of Activision?? on twitter it says : Writer/producer of video content for UA-cam. Best known for the weapon guides. Prior work with Activision on official COD content.
Wonder 9's: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, OLD MAN! M-1911: Lesson? I've been here over a century. Comeback and talk when you're that old, kid.
The grandfather of the modern semi-automatic pistol. 100 years and still going strong. However, unlike other elders, this granddad's saying no to retirement homes.
Uh...while, yes, the Browning Hi-Power was the first to have a true double column magazine, there are guns like the Mauser C96 that also technically had a double stack magazine, and the C96 was made way before the Hi-Power...
Eh, as influential as it is in the world of firearms designs, admittedly it has fewer appearances in media compared to the 1911. Not to say that footage for it would be scarce, but as I said before, the 1911 has a much bigger presence in pop culture
weird how most american guns are always called futuristic or were ahead of their time the m16 was seen as a weapon of the future that we would see 100 years later in time, but we had the gun now and the m1911 is an old gun, but it's as useful as a modern day glock, and yet, it was made a century before
Until this vid I legit never knew that the M1911 Soap gives Price in MW2 was the one from the end of COD4. Very nice attention to detail from the devs.
Agreed. I love how easy it is to shoot because of its weight. I hate how small 9mm hand guns almost want to fly out of your hands because of how light they are.
It's not an opinion, but objective fact that the 1911 has a lighter crisper break than all other major semi-autos sold and in use today. Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design.
Devlin Jones Have you ever shot anything outside of a video game? I have to ask that because 90% of the comments on these videos are from keyboard warriors. "Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design." By that logic, the Mosin Nagant should have a trigger that feels like virgin pussy, but it doesn't.
Mosin-Nagants being sold today are at a minimum least 70 year old surplus, made by peasants for peasants. Of course it feels like shit. The 1911s' trigger does nothing but push back slightly and takes the spring tension off of the bottom of the sear. Though not directly analogous is comparable to bolt action trigger mechanisms. In contrast striker fired pistols like the glock and double-action capable hammer fired pistols like the M9 and Sig sauer rely on an arm attached to the trigger to actuate the sear and release their hammer/striker, account for the relative mushiness of the trigger pull and longer reset times. In summary, the 1911 has the best trigger of any contemporary pistol, assuming quality parts. The Mosin wouldn't be bad either, if it wasn't ancient commie shit.
Don't forget about the other gun Browning made that refuses to die. Ma Deuce! The beautiful M2 50. Cal Machine Gun. Based off of the M1919 but made to be the Heavy Machine gun variant. Unlike the 1911, this one is still in service!
Ah yes the 50. Cal MG, the standard in put holes in everything. It may not be the fastest firing heavy MG, but damn it if your enemy wont feel safe in the firing zone of one of those beasts.
Some say this weapon is outdated, but I always tell them the same thing. " It's not outdated, it's old school and proud. It will only become "outdated" when we have laser weaponry and even then, it's still gonna go on strong. "
The M1911 is here to stay and it wouldn't surprise me if the M1911 remains in production in the next century. Although i doubt that i'll be around to see the 200th Anniversary of the M1911. At least my children's children will be around to see the 200th Anniversary of the M1911 like i got to see the 100th Anniversary of the M1911. I wonder if my great grandfather ever thought that the M1911 would become an American icon and a timeless weapon
KENXFLY My grandfather was a royal lao soldier that came across many thompsons, m1 garands, m1 carbines, 1911s, british sten submachine guns, and the Swedish K The laotian civil war ended but the vietnam war didnt end, he left during the 80s and there were still people fighting, thompsons were weapons friendly soldiers killed each other over for, a 12 year old in his unit was given an m16a1 and a 20rd mag, I feel sorry for the poor kid
Little Fav The A1 actually fixed most of the issues that were experienced in the first gen rifles. Army went behind the DODs back to get them properly prepped.
Its really crazy how the 1911 is STILL in use. I mean, practically every other weapon of its age is now obsolete, but the 1911 keeps on chugging as a military service pistol. The only other weapon that old that I can think of that’s still in service is the M2 machine gun, which John M Browning ALSO made.
The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced, and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with nonslip grooves. A ring hammer. The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip. And not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and customized.
As someone who concealed carried a 1911 for almost a decade, I can say, with complete confidence, that this video is spot on. This pistol simply forgot to become obsolete. Or maybe, it decided it, like liberty, would never be obsolete.
I still have the Light Shining in Darkness from the 1st dlc in New Vegas, which was essentially a suped up version of the 1911. I've never cared too much for weapon history and usually toss most weapons into my vault for safe keeping in the game, but this makes me want to hold onto it even moreso now
I was shooting my own 1911 the other day, thought I’d share some funny stories. When I was shooting the first expended brass flew into my eye (thank god for eye pro) then the second went into my dad standing next to me and the third flew and hit my grandfather standing next to him. Then the same day when I was shooting the bottom of the magazine crapped out and everything spilled out, spring rounds and all. So the bottom of the mag exploded. I have no doubt this is because the 1911 is built like a tank so instead of just exploding itself like other guns it redirected the force into the one weak point, the decades old magazine.
I never get tired of watching this video. It feels like a church sermon. I take a pilgrimage to UA-cam in search of it and listen to the gospel that it preaches.

modern hi-end 1911s are notorious for being unreliable. and old rattly war time production 1911s are not super accurate nor designed with longevity in mind.
@@Sujamma_Enjoyer Yes its generalization and there are few exceptions, but 500-700 Rick island and Taurus 1911 are garbage. While for the same price you can get a modern handgun that will last you a lifetime. Kimber production quality has decreased in the last decade or so. Wilson Combat, Dan Wesson and Night hawks are nicer custom guns, but they cost a fortune. And unless you are collecting firearms or something there are no advantages on spending 4000 dollars for a 100 year old design firearm.
A century after the military adopted the first models and their still using them(even if it is only in small numbers). It’s a real gem of an automatic pistol.

From one graphic designer to another. I have to say the minimalistic design and exceptional use of color and shape to represent each gun's recognizable profile and country of origin is nothing short of inspired. Keep up the good work!
I agree, but also remember the genius designs that made these guns so iconic and just overall SO bad-ass looking in the first place. The 1911 is a wonderful example of form AND function.

Browning Hi-power next.
the forgotten little sister of the M1911 and the first pistol to have a double stack magazine.
Uh...while, yes, the Browning Hi-Power was the first to have a true double column magazine, there are guns like the Mauser C96 that also technically had a double stack magazine, and the C96 was made way before the Hi-Power...
Also, RIP the Hi-Power. Production for it was stopped in 2017.
Eh, as influential as it is in the world of firearms designs, admittedly it has fewer appearances in media compared to the 1911. Not to say that footage for it would be scarce, but as I said before, the 1911 has a much bigger presence in pop culture
The Savage 1907 was the first pistol to use a double stack detachable magazine.
I mean
I have been fooled before and thought a sprite for a browning high power was actually an m1911 done wrong
weird how most american guns are always called futuristic or were ahead of their time
the m16 was seen as a weapon of the future that we would see 100 years later in time, but we had the gun now
and the m1911 is an old gun, but it's as useful as a modern day glock, and yet, it was made a century before

From personal experience, no semi auto handgun shoots as crisp and well as a quality 1911 to this day.
Opinions are like...
Agreed. I love how easy it is to shoot because of its weight. I hate how small 9mm hand guns almost want to fly out of your hands because of how light they are.
It's not an opinion, but objective fact that the 1911 has a lighter crisper break than all other major semi-autos sold and in use today. Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design.
Devlin Jones Have you ever shot anything outside of a video game? I have to ask that because 90% of the comments on these videos are from keyboard warriors.
"Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design."
By that logic, the Mosin Nagant should have a trigger that feels like virgin pussy, but it doesn't.
Mosin-Nagants being sold today are at a minimum least 70 year old surplus, made by peasants for peasants. Of course it feels like shit.
The 1911s' trigger does nothing but push back slightly and takes the spring tension off of the bottom of the sear. Though not directly analogous is comparable to bolt action trigger mechanisms.
In contrast striker fired pistols like the glock and double-action capable hammer fired pistols like the M9 and Sig sauer rely on an arm attached to the trigger to actuate the sear and release their hammer/striker,
account for the relative mushiness of the trigger pull and longer reset times.
In summary, the 1911 has the best trigger of any contemporary pistol, assuming quality parts.
The Mosin wouldn't be bad either, if it wasn't ancient commie shit.
"A century of service, ready for 100 years more" Jesus, there are few people that can sound cooler then him saying that.
Don't forget about the other gun Browning made that refuses to die. Ma Deuce! The beautiful M2 50. Cal Machine Gun. Based off of the M1919 but made to be the Heavy Machine gun variant. Unlike the 1911, this one is still in service!
blancjoker the m1911 is still in service primarily by special ops.
Ah yes the 50. Cal MG, the standard in put holes in everything. It may not be the fastest firing heavy MG, but damn it if your enemy wont feel safe in the firing zone of one of those beasts.

The M1911 is here to stay and it wouldn't surprise me if the M1911 remains in production in the next century. Although i doubt that i'll be around to see the 200th Anniversary of the M1911.

For sure and maybe the RPG-7 as well.
Little Fav The A1 actually fixed most of the issues that were experienced in the first gen rifles. Army went behind the DODs back to get them properly prepped.
Its really crazy how the 1911 is STILL in use. I mean, practically every other weapon of its age is now obsolete, but the 1911 keeps on chugging as a military service pistol. The only other weapon that old that I can think of that’s still in service is the M2 machine gun, which John M Browning ALSO made.
The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced, and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with nonslip grooves. A ring hammer. The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip. And not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and customized.

This gun is 110 years old and is still one of the best pistols
I was shooting my own 1911 the other day, thought I’d share some funny stories. When I was shooting the first expended brass flew into my eye (thank god for eye pro) then the second went into my dad standing next to me and the third flew and hit my grandfather standing next to him. Then the same day when I was shooting the bottom of the magazine crapped out and everything spilled out, spring rounds and all. So the bottom of the mag exploded. I have no doubt this is because the 1911 is built like a tank so instead of just exploding itself like other guns it redirected the force into the one weak point, the decades old magazine.
Dang
Also watching this on the 4th of July just gives of the feel of patriotism
