the 1911 is such an iconic weapon and almost all pistols today came from the 1911
Was in the winning side of 2 world wars and blew up a tank. What a beautiful weapon
That’s rank killer effect is only when Tom Hanks has it!!!
The 1911 in my opinion is the finest handgun of our time. Did anyone notice the vintage training films where it appeared they were shooting tracer rounds? plus those soldiers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn from what I saw.
I rewatched the tape multiple times, it’s very interesting to spot details. The sweeping, the cup and saucer grip to name a few. Here is a link to the video if you have not seen it yet: th-cam.com/video/jP7J-JNSUu4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PfpgR8nyUwLlRVop
Good video. The 1911 is the best pistol
Your kind words are greatly appreciated!
Still have my 1979 Star BM 9mm Par. Only regeet is not buying the alloy product - the steel is uncomfortuble heavy but still my baby. Could also never understand why so many pistols looked the same....but when I learned about the 1911 the sun did rise. Remains a beautiful pistol regardsless of todays products.
John Browning's masterpiece, the 1911 has become an American icon. Like Coke-Cola, muscle cars, and the hamburger. Everyone knows what John Wick can do with a Colt 1911 and 7 rounds of .45 APC.
It's a beuty no pistol like a American made 1911 45 I have 3 and it's my daily carry.
8:48 jam no battery😂😂😂
I do appreciate you watching the video for almost 9 minutes
Oh I see what you mean. Yea it’s possible if you slam random magazines from ebay like I did.
Since the Philippine American War officially ended in 1902, I don't see how the 1911 could have played any role in that conflict.
A sidearm with nothing to prove.
