Not many people do 1000 round reviews and really put guns to the test. Really appreciate your videos. No BS here.
Buying them at the store instead of shooting a cherry picked importer supplied pistol is huge.
Honestly, I'm a fan of pretty much all of the 500$ 1911s. I've done reviews on several of them, and they always impress for what you pay for.
I bought two Rugers for $529 a while ago put one up and had some work done on the other shoots just as good as some of my $1,000 dollar 1911's love it .
@@USMC-1911 that is awesome haha
I paid $420 for my RIA. It's ok. It had an out of spec slide stop and my sear spring failed at 1800ish rounds. I still like it, though.
I always wanted one of those tiny little 380 auto 1911s.
At first glance from profile, that's what this one remimded me of in Outlaws hands
Your videos are literally the best gun videos on TH-cam. Thank you for the time you put into the reviews and for not being biased!!!
And not every other post being political, I'm like enough already. When I found this channel it was a breath of fresh air.
I like his and garand thumb
@@RollingxBigshot Flannel Daddy is the Goat but this one is probably #1 in my books.
@@MF-Rell they’re close but I do enjoy the comedy GT brings, also love how HO puts rounds and time through a firearm before reviewing
He’s the only reviewer I would trust in reviews
I had this same model in .45acp and this thing was a beast! It ate everything I put through it and never had a single problem.
Turkey is coming out with some absolutely amazing firearms the last couple of years.
I bought a VR60 last year and damn does it shoot nice.
My Turkey-made Winchester shotgun is actually better than my Mossberg 590A and my Canick TP9 elite sc is still my favorite pistol. I may have to find one of these 1911s.
They make some nasty semi-automatic Shotguns
Especially the clone of the benefits m4 And you can pick them up all day long from $300. Sometimes they're on PSA website for sale for like 199 and a lot of the a, K. Send the automatic shock on sand A. AR style shotguns on the. PSA website are Turkish. And I have buddies that have different guns. They bought from the PSA website that were budget. Bangers, all Turkish had not had one problem with them. I think one body had a problem. Trying to shoot a certain bird shot or some round that you shouldn't even be shooting out of a tactical shotgun. But he said after the gun broke and he could fire any shell out of it. I'm not a big Shotgunn dude I don't know much about them

We covered a few of the Girsan and Tisas 1911 options a few years ago. All nicely done, if there was one weak point it was no different than any other 1911, especially 9mm: the magazines. Give them good mags and they're issue free.
What brand do you recommend?
I’ve used Wilson Combat and Metalform 1911 mags and they have been flawless with my Girsan.
after the last almost 20 years of 1911 use and literally trying every mag brand out there, none rune better than Wilson combat mags!!!
I have a Tisas 1911 A1 US Army and it's been a real gem. I've put 500+ rounds through it and not a single malfunction. My only gripe with it was the mag release button. It basically took The Incredible Hulk to press it at first. It's much better now though.
@A. Awaken .?
I have two Girsans. The MC1911 full size and the Regard (Beretta 92 clone). I bought the MC1911 and was so impressed by it that I bought the Regard as well. Both shoot very reliably. Love them both.
I bought the Regard and it is excellent, so I just ordered the MC1911, expecteing it to be a really nice "budget gun"
Her shooting has gotten so much better in a very small time!!! Congrats to your skill improvement!!!!
How are you even remotely surprised? Beaucoup ammo and the MAN training her? I’d be more surprised if she didn’t vastly improve in a short amount of time. Just my viewpoint.
Do you know what breed your dog is in your picture? My dog in my picture, Grace, is mostly Bluetick Coonhound, and I think there's a resemblance to your dog. I got my dog's DNA tested a few years ago because people kept asking me what breed she was, but I really didn't know. I was surprised at how precise they got. She's 35% Bluetick Coonhound, 18.8% Labrador Retriever, 15.0% Great Pyrenees, 10.1% Australian Cattle Dog, 5.9% Boxer, 5.6% Chow Chow, and 9.6% Supermutt. My dog has double dew claws on both back legs, so we had guessed that she had some Great Pyrenees because of that. You have a cute dog!
@@schneir5 She's a Walker hound lab mix. Cool mix breed
@@schneir5 I'm not able to see your pic well enough to see your dog.
I'm sorry man. Since I've purchased so many pieces because of your feedback, my wife hates you. I had to blame someone. I have to live with her ya know...
But please keep the videos coming!
@Joseph Vander
All you need to do is convince her that you have not purchased any new guns, but that when left to themselves in the safe guns will breed and multiply on their own.
@@bryangrote8781 haha! Only if my girl wasn't a labor and delivery nurse she might fall for that! It's worth a try maybe haha
Dude you're supposed to use the it followed me home excuse 😒
@@DMRedd08 yeah you made the mistake of feeding, and now it won't leave!!!
I told my wife I'll buy what I want, when I want. If you don't like it. TOUGH! I've got what I want and I'm not done.
Your videos are still rock solid. Really appreciate the content you keep bringing.
Best firearm review channel on the tubes….thanks a lot for being you and putting up quailty, straightforward info on real world firearms AND exotic expensive stuff.
I just picked up the Girsan 1911 match elite in 45acp. So far its fantastic! 200 rounds, no malfunctions and running smooth for $800.00 CAN. No complaints at all!
I have this same gun from the video in .45 and I had no problem with any ammo yet. First mag of 10 rounds I used one hand. Ran smoothly
Turdoe wants YOUR 1911 brother. He signed it death sentence just a few days ago.
@@bonghungk7544 Not sure what you’re talking about, i don’t own any guns 😉
@@metalwelder67 oh? Your first post said you picked up a Girsan 1911 match elite. You paid $800.00 CAN and no complaints about it. Now you say you don’t any guns??
@@bonghungk7544 note the sarcasm.
Thank you for your straight-up reviews. I've read lots good about Girsan stuff, and this was one that I was wondering about.
I ABSOLUTELY love you guys. Excellent videos always. I have my favorite review ppl, but you're on top. Thanks so much.
Your videos are great. A person can see how much work goes into them. I just bought this weapon and went out last week for the first time shooting it. I love the way it shoots. No issues for the first 500 rds.
Favorite gun channel. Great stuff. Just bought the Regard, a lot because of your review, and I’m very excited to pick it up tomorrow. Great work, guys!!
I own the Commander size Girsan with the red dot optic in 45acp and I love it. It is very smooth working and very solid built I couldn't be happier with it.
This Honest Outlaw is spot on. First time to the range today and it was outstanding! Very good quality, and smooth. Cycled 100 rounds of Blazer 115 gr and 50 rds of 124 gr and no hiccups. Feels like my old Colt Commander but with a bit more heft and a controlled feel when firing. Accurate too. For a $400+ pistol it is hard to beat, and like that it has 9 rd mag capacity instead of 8.
I really enjoy your reviews. You definitely have the gift of gun gab. Always an added pleasure to see Mrs Outlaw shoot as well. That's a nice price for a 1911. Thanks for the review! I'll be looking forward to the update.
Love it!
I have been waiting on a credible Turkish 1911 review for a long time, thank you!
Man when I want an honest gun review this is the channel I click on the fastest. Keep it up man I appreciate everything you do. You're the one who basically confirmed that I should switch my edc ccw from a glock 19 to the sig 365xl
I'm a metal gun guy alĺ day long. Especially 1911's. Although my CZ 75 P01 compact has taken a piece of my heart !
I like how you detail every small thing..keep up the good work...
I was so excited when I found out you posted this video. I actually just purchased the Girsan MC 1911S in 45 ACP two days ago. I did so much research and heard many great things but couldn’t find a creditable review video. I’m glad that you came out with one, removed some of my worries. I’ll be testing out for myself and continue to wait for your 1000 round review.
Love mine!
I wish I had the same experience as you, I have the exact same 1911, and it is a complete and total disaster. Can't empty a magazine on the first 2 cycles, then I reload with a higher quality ammo, and jams every other shot. Magazine doesn't feed correctly. Shells getting stuck in the barrel. All in all I have very little good to say about the gun. Its pretty thats about it.
Mine was and is total junk brand new out if the box. My Hi point 45 is superiority except for looks in everyway over this overpriced pile of crap Girsan puts out and I am serious.
Have a Girsan semi-auto 12 gauge, and it runs awesome. I have seen the 1911's, but haven't picked one up. Bought a Desert Eagle 1911 a few years ago for $500.00 and that has most of the features this Girsan has, and it runs awesome.
Your wife’s confidence and capability rocks! When she said, “but…I didn’t,” it made me smile.
The same. I laughed with her confident spitfire
Love your honest take, love your impressions, love the Mrs. take. Keep up the great work
I have a Girsan Regard MC that I paid $450.00 for a few years ago that I’m pretty impressed with so I’m not surprised this is a good gun
Same, bought a Regard nearly a year ago. Didn’t know they made an inexpensive 1911.
Love my Regard MC. Great gun for price.
My daily carry is a Regard 6. Nothing bad I can really say about it , except for the overbuilt magazine. Beretta mags don't work as well in the Regard 6
I was shopping for an m9/92 , they had a regard mc bx in the case next to their 92's. Felt even smoother, had all the features, threaded barrel, picatinny rail, g10 grips. $400 out the door. I have about 800 rounds through it so far. No malfunctions. Love the pistol.
Hands down best review of this gun on the entire interwebs can't wait to see the thousand round review.
I have bought 4 guns because of your reviews. Thank You for being honest and knowledgeable. I agree with most you are the best gun reviewer on TH-cam.
Thank you for deciding to test this pistol. I believe Beretta 9mm did a review on a Girson 1911 in 45acp but I prefer your 1000 round reviews. You have fastly become my go to guy for information on guns I have not personally shot.Thanks again I am a Big Fan of the channel !! 🔥🔥🔥💯
Excellent review and the Girsan is great! I do but some Springfield 1911's mil spec and I get them for around 550 dollar's. But their are a number of 1911's in that range. If it will save your life, it's worth every penny.
Another great video on a gun review. Really my goto channel for doing my due diligence before I purchase a gun.
Superb review as you kids always produce. Thanks!
Your videos are straight to the point, no drag. I really enjoy your channel! Waiting for the 1000 round review!
Glad you did this reviews, it’s one of the 1911 I got my eyes on. Love it, can’t wait for the 1000 rounds reviews! Keep it up!
Had one loved it. Got rid of it to get a higher capacity striker fire. Can't wait to see the thousand round reviews great job on the video the information that you provide will help others that's what it's all about.
Awesome! I have a full size Girsan 1911 in .45 and love it. Great channel.
I bought one several months ago and it is everything that he says it is, I’ve only run about 200 rounds through it but no failures at all… I am really liking the trigger also !!!
You have great taste, I love how it favors the staccato.
@@nasirjones-bey7923 it almost looks like it's trying to semi copy a Wilson combat who notably has done grooved grips similar to this for several years which is why I bought it!!! I love the aesthetics of this commander size 1911 and got mine in 45acp
Thanx for this. Bought the same Girsan 4 months ago and although I dont have allot of handgun experience, i am enjoying it.
Another great summary. You rock!
Great Video (as always). Reliability, accurracy, trigger, ammo, and some ammo humor too . . .
I appreciate you reviewing the Girsan! Hope you test out some more.
I've got a Remington 1911 R1 Enhanced, bought it brand new for $600 and it shoots like dream and looks beautiful too! Also the quality, fit and finish of the gun is is extremely tight and well made, the only thing is the trigger jingles a little if you shake the gun but over all it feels nice to shoot, but I want to do a trigger job and put some nice tritium sights on it and I think it would run just as well if not better than a $1000+ 1911. would highly recommend this 1911 if you're in the market for a budget one
Because of this video (which I've watched probably 5, or 6 times, it's actually what prompted me to subscribe to your channel), I'm pretty much sold on this pistol. I've always wanted a 1911, but didn't think I'd ever be able to afford one and was concerned about the cost, availability and somewhat limited range of .45 ACPs (compared to 9mm rounds). This solves all of those problems, plus I get a couple of extra rounds to boot! My income is pretty limited these days, but I started saving up right after my first viewing and am greatly looking forward to the day that I can finally pick one of these up. Also looking forward to this pistol's 1000 round review. Keep up the great work! 👍
Great information!!! Thank you so much!!!
Great review, I'm getting mine in a week or two. The only thing I don't like is one mag but love the feel and looks. I have the girsan mc28 and regard,both guns are very comfortable and great shooters.
I have a Girsan Regard MC 9mm that is a Beretta 92FS clone, it runs great and is very accurate and fun to shoot.
Great video as always especially that you review guns that most aren't. Mrs. Honest Outlaw is the best as well. Keep up the good work.
Excellent non biased review
A pleasure
Thanks
I bought a Rock Island Armory 1911 .45 full size a few years back. I love it. Never an issue. I paid $375 plus tax and background, about $400 total. I hear alot of ppl say all the "cheaper" 1911s are junk. But im not seeing that in my gun
Bought a citadel in 45. Ditto
Just purchased this exact gun today.
Your review played a huge part in the purchase. Thank you for your honesty and integrity.
Good luck with there extremely shitty customer service.
Anytime I need to know about a gun,I look at your videos for information because i trust your decision….Thank you for everything and your knowledge.
👍, like it! Am a 1911 guy as well, funny how one is never enough. Thanks for the great content! Look forward to more.
The fit and finish looked great. It looks like a much more expensive gun. I’d be interested in one if it see one around. I love the 1911 platform.
I have one, nice gun. Shoots a ad low.
I have the 5” in .45.
Also same manufacturer as Tisas. Buds Gun Shop may have them available online. I picked up a couple back in 2013ish and after 8 years of harsh range use I’ve never had an issue. Even with cheapo import Ammo!
gun looked used, in places in close ups. Used or new @500?
they disappeared here in amarillo for the last 2 years but are now back. I got the Girsan 1911 commander like this one, but they are now $565, which ain't bad if you consider fuel prices and busted supply chains!!!
@@tonyromano6220 get a slightly taller rear sight
It was your review that made me to buy the Canik Mete SFX for my winter EDC
I have a different model from them in 45 and it's been a little sweetheart. Ate everything I've ever thrown at it after the first 50 rounds and a good cleaning to get factory grease cleared.
Looking forward for the next review on this one! Keep it up. Great content.
Love my Girsan semi's. The new (well fairly new) Girsan factory is topnotch and make some pretty kick-ass weapons for military and police worldwide. There are a few videos of the factory here on YT. Quite impressive.
I've got a Girsan MC21 and it's great and this 1911 looks just as impressive
Love your vids man 🙌🏼
Dude man I love your videos!!! Super relevant, and entertaining content every time. Again. Cool gun, cool video, and super cool wife. Keep up the good work.
I have the girsan mc 1911 reserve and I think it's awesome no problem so far.
Can’t wait for the follow up video on this. Thanks sir.
Thank you for sharing your research
Good review, I've been looking for a good budget priced 1911 and this one looks really good.
I bought one POS right out of the box. I bought the most expensive one Girsan makes the sights are way off and it jams up alot better watch some other reviews they are not very kind to this piece of crap my 200.00 high point is far more reliable and more accurate than this 1911 piece of junk.
Yeah, looking at the ejection pattern I would say you are absolutely right, the gun is very over-sprung. That is a hell of a deal for a 1911!
Never realized you are in Iowa. You mentioned Mr Guns and I had an "A HA" moment.
Love the channel. Thanks for all the good work.
Thanks for the review!
Girsan makes FANTASTIC guns - a new competitor is in town. I have had 0 FTF or FTE over 3000 rounds. And they go above and beyond with providing you tons of stuff with their firearm
Girsan makes high quality stuff. I absolutely love my mc9 regard Beretta clone. Extremely reliable with any and all ammo and pretty accurate. Will pick one of these up as well.
Good review. Thank you!👍😊🇺🇸
I got one. You helped me to decide. Thanks.
I have one of these in .45 and absolutely love it.
I like the classics includes Browning Hi-power, CZ 75 and clones. The 1911 in all calibers receives 👍👍
Uhhhh 92fs is a classic as well
@@ThomasWilliams-zo7ke eh...
And they make best frist handgun buyer 1911s
And they make best frist handgun buyer 1911s
1911 is only a classic in 45acp, it did only win 2 wars by itself
It's funny how if you have cc, "subtitles" turned on, whenever he's not talking and just shooting the subtitles will say [Applause] when it picks up the sound of the round hitting the metal target.
Yup, I'm getting "applause" and "music" when the plates ring. That's how much YT hates guns, even their CC programming tries to hide them from us.
Good review, subbed. Thx!
Glad to hear! I have to find one! 1911 is truly the first gun I ever saw (watching by Saving Private Ryan as a kid), that made me want to get one.
Awesome review
I have had one of these in Hard chrome since 2015, has been flawless. It's a standard 45acp 5" but Girsan makes a quality 1911.
Excellent review.
I've got the Girsan 1911 in .45ACP.
It has been an excellent firearm with the exception of the magazine.
I'm running Colt magazines in mine and the gun runs 100 percent.
Excellent firearm for the money invested.
Yes, good mags in 1911s goes a long way.
Thanx! Great Video! (as usual) been looking at this gun, love 1911's that run ammo cheaper than .45!
Always look forward to seeing your posts.👍
I have 2 girsan 1911’s a commander and this in 9. They are amazing for the price point. My only upgrade is a quality magazine’s. And you can’t beat them for the price.
What mags did you buy and where did you get them. Thanks!
@@oceandmike In 45acp i have found the sig mags work the best in my girsan, and i'm so impressed by this 1911 i darn for sure will be buying another girsan. There is one problem with reviews like this, word gets out and all of a sudden the prices of girsans is going up quickly. I think pistol wise this girsan(mines a mc1911s) is the best money i have spent on a pistol in ages, these are definitely more gun for less, they indeed are not junk.
My kimber 1911 first 500 break in not a single malfunction 1000 rounds now still running strong .just wish that I could of payed under 500 for it .thnx for the review 👍
@Frank Bonazza III The criticism that Kimber's get, I understand. They had a "bad" period, primarily due to company mismanagement. Their newer guns are spectacular from what I understand. If someone asked me if they should buy a Kimber I would say yes, as long as its new
Big fan of the page. Recently bought a CZ P-07, partly because of your good reviews, and partly because it just feels right in my hands. You've talked about your P-07 many times in your videos, and I've watched the first impressions video a couple of time. But have you ever done a full review? Would be cool to get your impressions of the P-07 now that you've had it for a while.
Thanks again for another great perspective.
I love how informative your reviews are. I have been looking at this gun and wondering how good or bad it is. Looking forward to the 1000 round review.
I appreciate your reasonable expectations of functioning as relating to ammunition quality; not all guns run on all ammunition!
Excellent review!
Did I mention already that you're youtuber I trust the most when reviewing guns? Thank you for your work.
The Tisas Carry .45 (also Turkish made) is also remarkable for a $500 pistol, especially for the stainless model.
If Girsan made a Hi Power, P226 and a CZ75 PCR copy I'd be in heaven! Love my Regard MC, damn fine shooter.
They do make a Hi Power clone. The MCP35.
I've been researching the shit out of officer sized 1911's. I've never owned a 1911 and decided it's time. After narrowing my search down, which didn't include a Girsan, I ordered a sub compact Girsan ultimate officer 9mm because of this video. The best reviews on youtube. Thanks.
update....I received the gun the day before Christmas. I racked the slide about 100 times, cleaned and oiled it before I shot it. It ran 115gr, 124 gr 135gr ball and 135gr defensive ammo with no hiccups. I absolutely love it and plan on making it my carry gun after putting some more rounds through it.
You have my follow brother! Great video and quality!
These Turkish guns are stepping up. I love my Canik and I just purchased a Girsan Regard, which is a clone of the Beretta 92. I really like it. You should do a review on one of those. The Girsan Regard can be found for around $300-$500, depending which one you get.
Doesn't come close to a 1911
@@TheRealZJE313 what doesn’t come close to a 1911?
I bought a Girsan MC28SA about 3 years ago and I loved it. Traded it, but not for any reason.
I got a Regard about 4 months ago and the slide absolutely rides like glass.
@@captainpowerlift9364 the canik
@@TheRealZJE313 I never said the Canik came close to a 1911, even though that is all down to preference. I only mentioned my Canik because it is a Turkish gun just like the Girsan 1911 from this video.
I picked up this model 1911 Girsan in the .45acp and I honestly have to say I haven't had any issues with any malfunctions so far... Ive put around 400 rounds thru it and haven't had 1 hangup yet and plus it stays completely clean at all times... Its not bad for a $750 gun
Might actually be the gun I get to learn the platform. Glock 21 made me love the 45 auto. Now, time to try it out in a 1911.
I was a bit hesitant to get a 1911 simply because I've read they can get picky with certain ammo and magazines. But I reckon that's what you sort out before you carry for self defense.
@Frug I've always gone by the phrase why sell yourself short of your own defense... Some budget firearms are awesome its all a matter of which you get but yea overall I've enjoyed my 1911 even for a budget gun... Its smooth crisp and on the mark... The ammo that I use for it varies but ive used different brands and haven't had an issue as of yet...
@@AmericanOutlaw01was the 45 always more expensive or did these go up in prices recently?
@Mohammad Nashit Siddiqui 45acp rounds are gonna be more expensive due to how much it takes to make them... You're usual 45 round is around 230 grains so at roughly .75 cents a round you're gonna pay more but overall yes they've always been more pricey compared to the plentiful 9mm and thats for both target and hollow points
Bought a girsan 1911 about a decade ago, I've sent multiple thousands of rounds through it and have had no issues. Now when I first got it, I polished the feed ramp, and customized the rear sight.
Tldr; great gun, great fun. Can plink 2liters at 45 yards out.
First thing I do is polish all my feed ramps on all my guns. Glad to see I'm not the only one. My Girsan MC1911 .45 I'm absolutely in love with.
Greetings again from the Oil Patch in Central WY!
Thank you again for yet ANOTHER stellar, factually based reliable review!
I've got a Gun Show coming up this weekend here in WY and I'm going to be putting my CZ 85B/C up for sale (reluctantly, but I need to have a S/C carry piece and a reliable Full Size EDC as well (former for easy trips to town and the latter for longer distances).
I've been wanting to get a 1911 again (the Single Stack is STILL the most comfortable in my hand) and in 9mm, but NOTHING out there was both affordable and fit my Personal Carry Requirements (starting with a GOOD trigger; your review of the Taurus 1911 took it OFF my consideration list).
Your review of the Girsan has just catapaulted it the top of my list; as I can get enough from my pristine CZ for both it and a Taurus G3C (the Girsan for long hauls, the Taurus for Town Jaunts): same ammo (Federal HST 147gr JHP +P) two platforms. I'd like to wait for the 1000 round review but from what I've seen of other Turkish made guns, they seem to hold up rather well, so I'm willing to take a chance.
Lastly, when it comes to the Capacity Arguments, I would like to ask you to take a moment in a future video to mention the FBI Crime Data Stats referencing Civilian Involved Shootings, as they DIRECTLY relate to the Capacity Arguments: focus on the Average Number of Rounds Fired during the vast majority of Civilian Involved incidents.
FAR TOO MANY people seem to think that the 'person who wins' is the one who has a Large Capacity of rounds to just 'fling down range', rather than the REAL WORLD GOAL of Hits on Target! When you couple the FBI Data with the RWG of HoT, the capacity of a standard 1911 FITS the Bill! (for that matter, so do 99.9% of Wheel Guns).
So, if you would, please take time to mention these aspects in light of way too many people thinking they MUST have a 16-20 round capacity when they walk out their doors.
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
I was on the fence about Girsan, but I picked up a Girsan Regard Gen 4 (Beretta 92G clone) and (a) I love the light rail, (b) no failures after 400 rounds of lots of different types of ammo, and (c) the single action trigger pull is better than most Beretta 92s that I have fired. Glad to hear the 1911 is also reliable and may be worth picking up as a range toy.
As cheap as it is it would make a pretty decent winter carry. Like, I would rather get an incident and lose a 500 dollar 1911 vs. losing a 1000-2000+ dollar 1911.
I had the chance to feel one of these out and tbh it felt pretty nice for what it is. To put it in perspective, I owned and carried a Taurus PT1911 for some years and while the I never had an issue with the Taurus you can just tell its quite sub par. Im a big 1911 guy and through the years I have picked up a bit of knowledge of them. Things I look for in a 1911 is,
1. How tight is the slide to barrel AND how tight is the barrel to the barrel bushing. A quality 1911 will minimal to NO rattle coming from the slide and how it fits the barrel. A quality 1911 will have very little to NO wiggle room at the point where the barrel fits through the barrel bushing. This all equants to accuracy your going to get. I also like to feel how smooth the slide is. The more it feels like glass on glass the better. If you mess with Berettas you know what I mean when I say "glass slide".
2. Obviously the better the trigger the better quality the 1911. A really good 1911 will consistently have about a 2.5-3.5 pound trigger pull. When it comes to triggers you can always get a trigger job or buy a after market trigger or hell, even send it off to someone like Wilson Combat and get it completely tuned up. So this is super important but I would say the less creep, the lighter the trigger, out of the box, generally the better quality the 1911.
Bottom line is the Girsan, really impressed me just feeling it out. I already have one of the best 1911's you could have as is and its a collectible so I don't carry that one, but I'm well acquainted with how well made it is and how it feels. The Girsan really didn't feel that much worse. the trigger is waaaay better than the Taurus 1911 I used to have and the reset is crisp and consistent. The slide feels great when in motion and everything felt really well fitted. Almost zero rattle. Zero barrel movement. My biggest concern is, will the metal be able to handle serious use. The gun doesn't feel cheap so there has to be something. I want top see what it looks like after 5000 rounds and a year or two of active carry. Going in and out of a holster, being banged on shit, getting left to bake in a hot car over the summers, and all of that. I'm also concerned with how fast this finish will rust if left to sit. Little things that matter a lot in all actuality.

I had one of those 92 clones and gave it to my best friend when the whole pandemic things started, the Gun was awesome for me and super reliable, accurate and with a Wilson combat hammer spring it made that smooth trigger even better. I shot it a lot, he shoots it quite a bit and has never had a single failure and I know it doesn’t get cleaned much
What's the SA trigger weight on that Girsan beretta clone?
@@enzowarren9832 most that I’ve seen online weigh in between 4.5 and 5.5, and mine is closer to the 4.5 lbs mark. Beretta 92Gs can be upwards of 6 lbs
Hey Outlaw, if you like the 1911 from Girsan, you should take a look at the Regard MC made by Girsan, has the same feel and pull as a Beretta 92, but. Bonus. It comes with 18 round mag.
Thanks for the review.
