All I'm gonna say is everyone here needs to get themselves a 1911. It doesn't matter if it's in 45 ACP, 9mm, 10mm, or whatever, just get one. Once you get one or shoot one, you'll see why they are still super popular and amazing guns.
I have a brand new RIA 1911 in .45 acp and it’s nice but I haven’t shot it enough. I need to make a video on it.
Couldn’t agree more. I currently have 1911s in 5 different calibers and 3 different sizes. Love them all. Thank you John M. Browning.
Yeah, your right! I love a lot of handguns, and i adore my 1911s.
I think they're a great eotwawki/survival Handgun because they are all steel and require simple tools
I was like "any gun is better than no gun". So I got a Canik 9mm for $400 new in a case with 2 18 round mags. Good deal, but someday I want a 1911. Steel does beat plastic in so many ways, but plastic is lighter and... and... is that all? Cheaper I guess?
Nothing makes my day better than seeing an old dude shooting guns and enjoying it, while also giving education about different firearms too. I want to be like this man when I retire xD
Why wait?!
@@fatheroftheclyde I am only a minor and have no job yet xD
Save ur pennies
I must have missed the old dude
I living legend for sure in the gun world.
You’re so accurate man it’s just insane
As I say to all good Citizens. Buy a firearm (legally of course) and get trained. Practice Practice Practice
Very good weapons
Seriously...finally got to plink from 10-15 yards a while back which was extremely difficult for me as a beginner shooter. So seeing this and him just nonchalantly landing everything is amazing!
@miguel l. Shooting that close, try aiming slightly below your target and see if that helps.
Thanks BUDs Gunshop for supporting this guy all these years… this guy is top tier meaning that the shop is too.
The man talks total sense, hits target after target, has a comprehensive knowledge of firearms...and his self deprecating humour just makes us love the guy more. I love this channel. The TH-cam legend that is Hickock 45. I literally never get bored of hearing this man speak....or see him letting loose on his firing range!
1911's are THE MOST beautiful handguns made!
Awesome video last night the boys went to bed early so I went on a trip back through time and watched your videos from oldest to newest and it's just amazing to see how the range has came along but there's one thing that has always stayed consistent the fact that you're very humble and very knowledgeable and that your videos are awesome
God bless you Hickock! I'm carrying my RIA full size 1911 .45 ACP.
My reasons for owning a 1911pistol chambered in 9mm:
1. I did not want to buy another type of ammo
2. I wanted to learn how 1911 works and learn how to break it down
3. The price and quality were right (Citadel $400 from Phillipines)
4. It is very friendly to shoot, great for just having fun or for teaching kids or beginners.
63 and still no problems with a .45, favorite round and the 1911 will always be the best platform for it.
Amazing how he never misses any targets and even smokes pot…lol…super accurate shooting, love it!
Got a Colt 1911 Government that was 38super but i converted it to 9x19 due to misinformation at purchase and cost of ammo. Still love it and its a great piece. Was a beaten up mirror polish but i bead blasted it satin and it looks much better.
we need this man to live forever
AMEN!!!
Ah yes 1911..I've been shooting 45 for some time and a couple weeks ago got my first 38 super..wow what a difference
How does the .38 super feel? I passed on one for a 9mm Dan Wesson and wonder if I made a mistake, haha.
@@maybecole I think you made the right decision..the feeling is same if you shoot a 45 then pickup a 9
The 1911 is the only gun I have ever wanted. I have fired it on numerous occasions and when in the Navy. I just love that gun.... and yes.... 45acp all the way.
30 super carry is the answer to the question no one asked. I can't see why I would need one.
I'm all for you grabbing another 1911, but I'm skeptical about the .30 Super Carry. I just don't understand the need for a cartridge which falls between a .380 and 9mm in the power department. If I'm carrying a full size 1911 -- I'm opting for all the knock-down power I can get. If you can control the .45 ACP, it's the best bet in single stack. If not, I can see benefits to less recoil with cheap (9mm) ammo, but don't have an appetite for expensive ammo.
Bought a Les Baer Thunder Ranch in 45 acp over 25 years ago. It's still my favorite pistol to shoot.
I own a 1911 in 9x19mm. I live on a budget and found this 1911 that I could afford. What ever issues it may have, i can fix. The joy of being firearm knowledgeable.
Thanks to Hickok45
I have a collection of 1911's. Maybe a dozen? A few more? 5 years ago I had no 1911's. My buddies always told me, once you buy one 1911, you won't be able to stop at just one! They were absolutely correct. Most of mine are 45 ACP to include a WWI and WWI 1911. And I was snobbish about a 1911 chambered in anything other than 45 ACP. But I do have 1911's now in 45, 9mm, and 10mm. I love them all. Have to say, a midsize 1911 in 9mm is a pretty fine carry gun. Thanks for sharing as usual!
1911, one of those things that clearly prove how much creative and beautiful human intelligence is!
The 1911 is the real way to go in pistols.My collection I shoot most but The expensive ones are to look at and are a tease to keep. I have different calibers and different company makes. And I love them all. My prize is the one my grandfather gave me. He carried it in WW2. The Browning ,Colt as he called it ,the M1911A1 model was carried inWW2 and when he was a police chief in Mantoloking ,New Jersey. It’s like new and I would definitely never part with it. Thanks for the video old friend. Your friend Dan from Jersey Defending the 2nd.🗽🦅🇺🇸👍
Ah a Hickok45 video with 1911's. This is going to be a great day. 😃
I once had a new unfired 1930'ish Colt 1911 38 super commercial I bought from a collection. Beautiful pistol.
Out of my 10 1911’s, 5 are 9mm. It such a perfect round in a heavy 1911 frame.
I only own two 1911s and love them immensely. Both in .45 ACP ... one is an Auto Ordnance I paid $1,300 for in stainless and the other a cheap $386 SDS Imports Tisas GI Model 1911A1 US Army clone and I love both.
I just got my 1911 Smith performance center 1911 45acp. I've had an old Para Ordnance for years but wanted something nicer. The Smith is good enough for me.
Something about a 1911 that just never gets old. I have a Colt Commander 1911 45acp and a Colt Government model A1 rail gun chambered in 22lr which is a fun little plinker.
"Nothing like a 1911!" Pastor Browning is smiling in Heaven. Love to the Hickok45 Family. God Bless...
JMB was an engineering genius, therefore .38 Super & .45 ACP are the only acceptable chamberings just as he intended.
I somewhat agree
Outstanding information, Mr. Hickok. One of your very best videos. I have “one in every color”…except .30 Super Carry…I think ammo could be difficult to find in .30SC.
Hickock, I’m with you. I can’t bring myself to buy a 1911 in a caliber other than .45ACP.
I know, right?! I think Col. Jeff Cooper would be looking down at me from Heaven saying, "What's wrong with you, boy?" And then a smack upside the head!
No appeal to the tik tik tik tik tik?
Great shooting as usual and very informative. I had an opportunity to shoot the Nighthawk President chambered 9mm. Amazing experience!
To add to your comment about a lot of 9mm 1911's being sold... At the time of posting, purchasing .45 ACP is almost twice the price of 9mm. I have been looking at a 1911 for my next firearm and since it's not going to be my primary carry firearm, more of a range toy, I am definitely thinking about the price of the food for it!
I love my 45 1911s but my 9mm 1911 gets the most range time because it's just more fun.
When the army switched from the 1911 to the m9 as standard issue sidearm, aside from the complaints about the pistol itself, most didn't trust the punch of 9mm. Ammo has evolved a lot since the 80's, especially 9mm. Special units still sometimes use 1911 .45acp but 9mm is trusted a lot more now and it has gotten much better. I would still stick with .45acp with a 1911.
The only reason its trusted more is because it's 30% less at the store. Up here in canuckistan even reloading costs an extra dime a cartridge to load 45acp
@@joenitro9024 i meant 9mm is trusted more than 9mm was trusted in the 80's, not that it is trusted more than .45acp
You'd change your mind if you ever shot a 9x19 chambered 1911.
@@FirearmEnthusiast i have shot a 9mm 1911 and own m17/m18 (both slide assemblies) and beretta 92fs (civilian m9) and plan on getting a governor in .45acp in the next year or so along with SAA in .45acp someday. also have a 1903a3, m1, and AR very similar to what i had to qualify on. you may see a theme here.
there are so many options for 9mm's i just don't see much point in a 9mm 1911. i believe you can also get 1911's in .22lr. i do have a .22lr pistol (walther p22q) and the .22lr bolt and mags for my AR for a quick swap, but don't see much point in a .22lr 1911, either. too many other options in 9 and 22 that would be a much higher priority for me. if you're infatuated with 1911's and want every configuration, or just don't want to shoot 45 anymore but want to stick with that design till the end, that's your preference. who am i to say otherwise?
it's like trucks. people buy the truck that fits their wants and needs. if someone wants a honda ridgeline, who am i to say they should buy something else? i hope they enjoy it. god bless america.
All ammo has evolved since the 80s including .45 ACP.
He can shoot so fast while also being the most accurate man alive
1911's are something special.
Looks like an excellent new round in a smaller frame pistol. Useful.
When I retire, I wanna have my own range in my backyard n just shoot guns all day everyday. He’s livin the life
My only 1911 is a GSG clone in .22LR. Very fun to shoot. Never thought about it as a trainer per se. Rented a Springfield Armory 1911 in .45 ACP at the range one day. Could not miss if I tried. Was smiling the rest of the week-end. Saving up for an SA 1911 of my very own one day.
Did you see the 2011 prodigy they just released? Oh man
Your the Man..
Love your knowledge.
I've learned alot on your video's. I always recommend your channel to knew Shooters..
Dude is such a shot...very inspiring.
Started my 1911 collection journey this is the ultimate! Great content
I have a Springfield 1911 in 9mm. it is just wonderful.
You can just hear his happiness while shooting the thing
1911, the quintessential gun of all time.
I love your range! I wish I had a range period.
ROFL, oh my goodness... I bought a new speaker for my work PC, hooked it up and wanted to test the audio so I brought up TH-cam... and being the rocket surgeon that I am, I chose this video to test. The volume was up a bit too loud and when he started nailing all of the metal targets plus the sound of the gunfire, I was somewhere between panic and cracking up. I'm sitting here still laughing, made my day.
dang he hits every target!
To funny that you posted this today. Last night I was looking into 1911's because I'm in the market and my buddy is a big collector, so I've shot several in .45. We shoot a lot together and test out a ton of different systems. I'm big into 9mm handguns in general and was thinking screw it, I'll buy one in 9mm just for the fact I have a bunch in stock. He also wants to try one in 9mm so it works out perfect. I sort of think it's sacrilege to buy one in a chambering other than .45. I know that's stupid. I'm gonna buy one in 9mm first haha! Excellent video as always Hickok!
All hail John Moses Browing father of the 1911! Nighthawk makes super guns, but a little out of pice reach for us common folks. Old guys and 45's rule!
There is scary sharp then there is Hickok45's scary accuracy.
Hickok45 is the only man that can make a pistol or revolver act like a rifle.
EVERYONE NEEDS A 1911 IN THEIR LIFE
This is the best guy i've ever seen on youtube
9mm 1911 always seemed odd. I recently shot a Bul Armory 1911 Commander in 9mm. Now I’m sold on them and on Bul Armory 1911’s. They are way underpriced IMO. Unbelievably good pistols.
They build Magnum Research 1911's. Dad has one in 10mm that is a helluva nice gun.
I have always said, "nothing says I mean business like a 1911".
Bill Wilson comented that, "Out of their Single Stack line 80% are still .45 acp"!
70 yes. Young .and have several 1911s all calibers except 30 super carry....I think I'll stick to the main 45 to carry unless 10mm 1911 carry ..watch you all the time ty.
Nighthawk is out my price range but I love my Dan Wesson TCP in .45
I have or have owned five 45 acp 1911’s with my magnum research desert eagles g and c being the most accurate. I always wanted a 9 mm and could not locate a bul or magnum research so ended up with a alpha foxtrot. Do not notice much recoil difference as of yet. Love the 1911 platform.
the Brazilian industry IMBEL produces the 1911 pistol in 380acp, 40sw, 9mm luger and 45acp 😄
I picked up a 1911 Colt Comp. SS in 9mm. Not a traditional caliber, but boy is it a nice shooter. Keep the 1911 videos coming? Just so I'm not criticized, I have two other 1911 in .45 ACP.
I’d love to see a tutorial on how you’re able to aim so well. A Hickok45 school of shooting. I’m a horrific shooter and could use tons of tips.
I think it has to do with his hand size. Maybe I’m wrong but I have big hands too and I feel like shooting is a breeze
Learn the fundamentals - grip, stance, trigger control etc and then shoot a lot.
Dry fire, focus on the front sight, dry fire, training, dry fire, focus on the front sight, dry fire. Go to the range and fire.
And finally, dry fire.
Seriously, there is more. Proper trigger pull is huge. I don't want to advertise other specific youtubers on Hickok45's channel. There are great channels out there. One is a retired Navy Seal that has EXCELLENT videos.
1911 ❤ is the way to go 👍🏼As always, great Video.
I saw the same video, i believe he said 60% of Wilson’s business is 9x19 1911s. Never thought id see that, i still carry and prefer the .45acp 1911 but have shot them in 9mm and man are they shootable.
That is true, 1911 is going off the shelf’s like crazy
Funny how history tends to repeat itself. My grandpa owned a .38 super that looked like a 1911 made back in 1930's or 40's that was more accurate and fun to shoot.
I just bought my first 1911. It came with 1 8round magazine. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for buying an extra magazine as far as brands. I know you and your son are probably very busy but a response would be really appreciated. The gun is a Girsan mc 1911 untouchable. 8 round 9 mm. Thank you for all the firearms education you have given me through the years.
Bob Ross of guns back at it!!
30 super carry, the perfect sidearm to go with the 224 valkyrie.
Ive a few calibers in the 1911 platform, love them all . The grandson wanted a 22 like grandpas guns , had to just buy a cheaper 1 , but when the gun makers get caught up , ill get him a better 1 .
I'm only 135 years old, and still like my Kimber in 45ACP. Dad doesn't like it as much though.
Looking forward to seeing some .30SC double stacks
I have 3 Springfield 1911’s and love them, I’m old and 1911 is alway my go to!!!
The way I look at it, our fighting men and women won wars using the 1911. Even used up through Vietnam, and probably longer. Strong, sure, and reliable. Can't beat that. Might not be as fancy as some 'plastic' gun, but the 1911 will get you through when the times are bad.
I have a Kimber, Tactical II. Sweet ride.
My smaller caliber 1911 is 10mm. I love my 45 ACP. The recoil may be heavy, but it is not snappy. My lightweight pistols get lightweight calibers.
OD Green drip 💪
I grew up with the owners children of nighthawk I also toured it in school.
John glued that Buffalo down... Lol
45 years ago 9m was laughed at. Now... let's get RIA and all the other makers on the band wagon. I can't justify a Nighthawk but I can afford others.
I bought a Citadel 9mm 1911 many years ago. I believe those are very very similar to RIA. I believe it was around $400 probably about 10 years ago.
Rock island makes 22tcm, if you wanted a smaller caliber round hitting as hard as 45 ACP. Quite literally shooting 5.56 in a handgun, 5.56 short. Haha. I believe they all come with a 9mm conversion barrel so you can shoot either with just a barrel change.
I love those Nighthawks, but to rich for my blood. I want to try the .30 Super Carry. Haven’t seen one yet. Looks fun to shoot! I like the extra capacity.
great video. If it is a 1911, it will be 45 for me. For 9mm, I trust the Beretta 92 and CZ more than a 1911.
Wow. Add in those super accurate magazines and it rocks
This guy is a legend
Very cool -
Great Video, very informative; thank you sir!
Nice guns.
great weapons john thanks for the demo
Honestly, I have better follow-up shots and grouping with my Kimber .45 than I did with my Springfield 9mm. The .45 has stronger recoil, but it's a push-back recoil. The damn 9mm has a dancing barrel which I find to be a pain in the ass. My .45 is a beast, but the barrel stays flatter than the 9mm. The 9mm barrel likes to jump while the.45 ACP tends to stay more level. I use a .45 for EDC and probably always will.
Love your videos big guy, but I believe the 30SC will be another expensive/dead round in a short matter of time.
.38 Super, that's the ticket, and 1911s are available.
Hickok45 on his game!
I love 1911. Both pieces there are awesome!
I grew up shooting .45's but I'm absolutely infatuated with TCM and I love my 9mm's. If I was gonna roll my own I'd go .38 super but I ain't got the dollar a round for .45. Not when 115gr is 30 cents and TCM and subsonic 9 is 40 cents. Small and fast is the future. Heavy and slow is obsolete. We already learned that with hunting rifles, then with military rifles. Now we are finally learning that with handguns like with the 5.7 and .460s&w.
It will probably be another 50 years at least before we realize we can do the same thing with shotguns. I probably won't still be around but that's the future I'm excited for.
45 is a dollar a round now? Geepers...glad I stocked up before the prices went up.
So cool that the camera caught the 45s in flight
Damn that man can shoot!!
America's favorite educator!
1911, iconic like our 911 car. I like it!
The fact people still carry 1911's for EDC makes me less self conscious about carrying my Grandma's Browning Hi-power
Really like the super 30cal 12. Config nice.
Shoulder stocks pistols 🇬🇧 just distroys the esthetics but I'm sure bandits would be detured from carying...
I like the calibers designed by Millie Meader most, though there is something to be said for the cartridges created by Ace Eepie, he was a real genius.
