#1911 #handguns #kimber #remington #cz #sigsauer #springfield #colt #wilson #guns #pistols - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
At 74 years old and having been around guns my whole life I have had the experience of being around a lot of shooters. My Dad worked for Rocketdyne in a San Fernando Valley and was able to shoot with these Gentlemen at the range. I bought the Colt Combat Commander because I had a Ruger 22 with the bull barrel and the sight length was the same. I was able to shoot with these guys for 4 years. Due to having a cataract developing in my right eye and being right handed I shot with my left eye. After a friend of mine died I inherited the Colt Gold Cup 45
I bought a Rock Island 1911 A2 in 9mm years ago when it was first made. It was tight accurate, Had all the extras, and was around $500. I told everyone at the gun club about it and let them shoot it. Many of them ordered one from our LGD. I had to order mine because they were so new. Good gun.
I decided to buy a 1911 and the gun shop guy said the Rock Island is an inexpensive, but good gun. I called a few gunsmiths I know and every one of them said the RI was actually a good firearm. So I got it, very happy with it and didn’t cost me an are and two legs.
i bought one a few yrs ago for around $450 chambered in 45ACP. it's my home defense gun. it's not my style to spend an arm and both legs for a gun or anything else
I picked up a Rock Island FS ultra in 10 mm on a whim for ... 400!!!! it was being "clearanced" I wasn't all that familiar with Rock Island and didn't expect much. I was amazed at the quality, trigger, feel and overall look. And it shoots better than I do. I just hope they keep the prices 500 to 700 dollar price point. I'll be buying more in a variety of flavors.
Springfield armory 1911 Garrison all day every day, it feels like the colt 1911 that I carried while in the military
My 10 year old stainless Remington R1 has a near perfect trigger. Predictable, smooth, plus short travel, and reset. It was a bargain. NEVER had ANY type of failure or mis-feed.
S&W 1911 SC-E model. Bluesteel, walnut grips. An unbelievably beatuiful and seamless operating 1911. Dead-on accurate right out the box. Shocked it wasn't mentioned here.
Yeah, S&W does make some good 1911s, but for whatever reason, I just can't stand the look of those wavy serrations that they have on all their guns. I mean I don't mind it on the M&Ps, but for some reason I just don't like them on the 1911s.
Personally, I've always like Springfield's 1911s, and being from Hartford, CT, and having had to drive by the blue dome of the Colt factory every day with my dad as a kid, I do have a couple Colts. In fact a 5" Colt in .45 was my first 1911, because if I was only going to have one(which didn't last very long, lol) it was going to be the OG 1911 that Browning created.
I collect 1911s. All lower priced ones. My favorites are the Springfield Range Officers and Ruger Sr1911.
I have both of those and yes The range officer champion is awesome. I also have a para ordinance P-14 which has a double stack.
Those Rugers are Good Guns!...
@davidmack4185 Yes, I have 5 or 6 Phillipine made 1911s.
I find them perfectly functional, but the finishing is lacking. For some reason they don't "feel" like a more expensive gun.
@davidmack4185 Of my Phillipine guns I like my Metro Arms the most.
Yeah, Springfields have always been my favorite 1911s as far as major US manufacturers go(e.g. S&W, Remington, Colt, etc.(though I will say I feel like colt has upped their 1911 game in over the past 5 years or so.))
I own a Rock Island Armory 1911 45acp..i love it
Is the Rock Island Armory is the old ARMSCOR in the Philippines sir?
RIGHT ON BRO!! I HAVE ONE & LOVE IT!!!! RIA FS TACTICAL MODEL, GREAT GUN!!!!😊👍👍👍👍🤟🤘~ Howard M. ~4/6/2024
*The Tisas 1911 Stalker shouldn't be ignored, nor is the Girsan MC 1911. Both great, reliable handguns at affordable prices.*
100% agree.
@@joshsteuterman2363 Tisas and Girsan both make outstanding quality 1911 handguns selling at affordable price points.
I have a Tisas Stingray 9mm 1911. excellent Firearm.
@@philvilardi6461
Same here😊
Have a girsan. It's good but the mags mine came with are dookie
#1 for value for money? Because this shoulda not even been on the same list as a Wilson and Nighthawk. None of them should actually.
First of all Wilson should be #1, Nighthawk #2, Kimber should be higher and Tisas should be on here as well... Rock Island????? C'mon! For Price, yes, For quality, hell no. I'd get blisters every time I shot that gun. Sharp edges everywhere. And I got a lemon on top of that. Not a great gun in my opinion.
This guy just doesn't understand the levels...granted I might have to cop the nighthawk over the wilson I ha e a couple already lol..
I have a Staccato C2, a Springfield Armory MC Operator and a couple of Rock Island Armory 1911's. The RIA 1911's are a pleasure to shoot. One of my RIA's is a 9MM which is a pleasure to shoot and a lot cheaper. The other RIA 1911 is in 45ACP. But, I bought it used, sight unseen. When it arrived at my local FFL, it came in a gun rug with one magazine and that's it. No paper work or trigger lock. And it was filthy and bone dry. I thought it was a lost cause when I first took it to the range and could not fire more than a couple of rounds without a failure. I had to disassemble it completely, soak every part in solvent, scrub and oil every part to get it working reliably. Now, I love it.
I own a rock island double stack 10mm. Itvis a great shooter and value.
Bul Armory Ultra Light (big Rock Island fan, own all the double stacks and few of the single stacks) 🤙🏼🤠
The 1911 is my favorite weapon, it has the best trigger pull of any pistol IMO. As for the best 1911, well that's up to the owner. I personally would buy the cheapest 1911 you can find and modify it to fit my needs. The 1911 is an easy pistol to work on and has endless upgrade options. I have never found a stock out of the box gun that fits my needs, I always modify in one way or another. So I wouldn't worry about buying the best 1911 pistol, anyone with any skill can modify the 1911 to be a real nice shooter.
Grab a AMT long slide; do some work(slide,spring guide,buffer,trigger an you have a very accurate 45!! Fixingem up is a hobby with me,never disapointed!!
Don’t know if you’ve reviewed this particular pistol, but I got a 'Girsan MC 1911 C' (in 9mm) in January and have so far been very satisfied with the purchase and the pistol’s performance. At only $500.00 per unit, it comes in either 9mm, 10mm, or .45 ACP and includes all of the bells and whistles that you would expect in a much more expensive model 1911. 'Honest Outlaw' rated the Girsan model the highest out of the budget ($500 price range) 1911s he reviewed, which also included the 'Rock Island‘ version. It was actually his review which prompted me to make the purchase. Girsan is a Turkish firearms manufacturer, whose products are imported by EAA (European American Armory), out of Cocoa, Fl. Now, I have only the one pistol to go by, but they seem to make high quality firearms and their prices are very reasonable.
I doubt they've held any of these pistols let alone taken them to the range, looking at their videos its all marketing or "borrowed" visuals over a text to speech voice reading a script. Honest Outlaw, well you see him actually put stuff through their paces.
Any list that doesn’t have Ed Brown on it is not a serious list!
Agreed, and no Les Baer?
Les Baer Premier II.
I can confirm that the RI TAC ultra I own is amazing and my EDC. Even with the full rail it does not profile while in conceal carry. And sad to see the 4.25 version was discontinued. My wife carries it and it is just as awesome.
just don't magnaflux the frame or it will scare you
Missing. Ruger SR1911. Great gun. Flawless workmanship. At least mine is.
I have been a collector for over 40 years, and I keep coming back k to Nighthawk and Ed Brown
That Ed Brown 1911... how could u not.
I have a Kimber in .45 and mid size in 9mm …. Both shoot very well …
Thank you ❤
I agree! I have two Rock Islands, and never had an issue with them. I have the Tac Ultra FS 9mm/22tcm combo single stack, and the Pro Match Ultra FS HC in 9mm. There are both extremely accurate and the weight reduces recoil considerably.
The Remington company is not the company that built 1911 weapons in WWI. That company was Remington Rand. They specialized in business machines, typewriters and calculators.
I believe that White Westinghouse also built munitions for ww1 and ww2, WW also built the Russian model S&W .38 during ww2 for the red army i believe.
Remington did produce WW1 1911s, remington rand only produced for ww2, i just recently learned this.
I was about to make the same post, until I read yours. Another minor company which made 1911's , as You know was Union Switch & Signal.
Rock island owner!
I have 2
heck yeah
Yes sir, two RIA 1911’s in my toolbox!
Same bro. It's such a badass gun
Yep!
Springfield TRP here. Only 1911 I have. Older model. Didn't care for the two piece full length guide rod so went GI with flat wire recoil spring from Wilson. Couldn't afford a high end like Wilson or Nighthawk. Went halfway. My favorite sidearm by far.
I made the mistake of trading off my WWII Remington Rand second run 1911 , that was years ago , having collectors pieces was not something I was in tune with , My Rock Island Tac 10 has become my carry piece . I was surprised at how ell put together this piece is , although getting used to its take down verses a GI issue 1911 takes a little getting used to
I had a remington Rand that was stolen. Still miss that pistol. That experience sent me to an HK .45. Wow! I’ll never sell that.
My current main EDC is the 5" Springfield Prodigy 9mm. Previous EDCs were Para Ordnance Warthog .45, Para Ordnance 4.25" LDA Officer .45, and Kimber UDC II .45.
While I was happy to see the often overlooked SIG 1911 make the list, I was shocked to not see a Dan Wesson 1911 make the list. Also, is the Remington 1911 even in production at this point? Their website does not list them.
You missed the best $ for $ 1911 on the market. Do not let the price fool you the Tisas 1911A1 is not fancy, but a very well made, very accurate gun. Mine has onlly about 100 rounds through it but has preformed excellently, it may not be pretty but pretty is as pretty does.. I will take reliability over pretty every time .
I just purchased the Springfield armory Vickers master class, 1911, and so far, for me, this may be hands-down, the best 1911 I owned. And yes, I have a Wilson combat ECX nine and have had pretty much every 1911 manufactured since the good Kimbers of the late 80s.
I purchased the Vickers Master Class as well. The slide to frame fit is on par with a Wilson or Nighthawk. It's a good 1911 but I would still pick my Dan Wesson Specialist over it. The Dan Wesson feels a lot more refined and the trigger is at least a pound and a half lighter. I just ordered the new Springfield TRP in coyote so I will have to compare that between the Vickers and Specialist.
I don't want ANYTHING attached to my gun. Everytime I watch these Videos I see these pistols Loaded Up with Bullshit. . Shesh..
Clean and lean is the way . I was in the US Navy for ten years and was trained by USMC instructors , US Navy Gunner's Mates and graduated the USAF MP Academy .
Just took my kimber kds9c to the range for the first time. Very nice!
My hunting, fishing, hiking hangun is Rock Island Tac Ultra HC 10mm with 5.5" threaded barrel. Its also become my favorite gun for rangle fun. 16+1 of 10mm makes it hefty but follow up shots are quick because of the added weight. It shoots better than me and has never failed.
Rock Island is No. 1 and very well deserved. The gun and quality you get at this price point is amazing! That’s why I own 2.
I live in the Nevada town where Rock Island has it's warranty center & know several people that work there. Rock Island is a POS, until recently, made in the Phillipines on antiquated machinery, by lackeys who couldn't care less about quality! Buy a Kimber!
@@bradgriffith4231 I own a Kimber as well but find hardly any superiority over the Rock Island when you compare price points. If nothing else Kimber should step up their game. Especially for the prices they are asking now at gun shops. Ridiculous for a working man to have to pay that when they can get a very quality pistol for lower prices.
Have to own one to be able say anything about that gun else whatever you say are all hearsay
@@bradgriffith4231Kimber! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kimber is a good training pistol to help you become good at clearing malfunctions. Overpriced garbage. But they are pretty.
@@wilk128my experience with Kimber is their standard magazine is crap. They run fine with mec-gar or WC mags.
a rock island as a fine pistol is quite the oxymoron
they picked rock island cause its been out a bit longer than girsan or tisas all are a great choice I have firearms from these three never been let down and they all have the one thing in common price wise their putting a hurt on the big companys
I love my Ruger light weight commander. Light and acurate for EDC.
I have a Para 1911. It's a great pistol. I compared it to a bunch of others, and it had a superior fit and action.
I’ll Stick with my Ed Brown
No Les Baer?
Good Reviews !! ... Thank you ...
If you could only have one 1911 for the rest of your life, which one from our list would it be? Let's see which pistol reigns supreme in the comments!
Dan Wesson Vigil CCO 9mm.
Need a longslide.
If the Prodigy qualifies then I would say my Staccato XC.
Nighthawk.
@@roguemodel they are awesome. On my purchase bucket list.
Hopefully not Kimber. They USED to be good...their quality went to crap when they went to stamped over CAD design.
FYI the intro narration to this video was plagiarized. The intro was most likely stolen from the video "Best 1911 Pistols 2024: Tough call, but there's a CLEAR winner!" by All About Survival.
No Dan Wesson?
After you list the Remington as a must buy….thats the end of this video…and Kimbers, are the #1 1911 I send back for factory service,..in my gun shop
Got a Kimber Gold Match about 25 years ago. First time at the range it went full auto.... Back to factory service. It's been good since then though. Oh and UPS was very thoughtful to leave it by the door on return.
What’s wrong with the Remington R1? Just wondering because I own one..
Bought the Rock Island Ultra FSHC 10mm. BEAST!!
I'm glad they added Rock Island. I have the standard no frills milspec 1911. It is a great gun, and I didn't pay an arm and a leg for a Kimber.
No Staccato, no Bul Armory are you serious 😂
I have held a Bul 1911 and seen the reviews on this gun.It felt great in my hand and looks like a well made 1911.
Why would anyone (Kimber) cut open slots into the slide is beyond me. Another opening for dirt and debris to get inside the pistol. I highly doubt those modern 1911's would ever see combat but why take the chance of having dirt jam up your pistol in a critical situation.
The more I watch these comparisons, the happier I am about getting the RIA pro ultra match FS .45. I get it on Monday.
Thanks for posting.
I have a Colt Series 70 Gov. Model in.45 i bought in 1980 that i still carry to this day and a SIG Emperor Scorpion in 45 auto that is bad ass. Even tho i have a Glock 19x that i love the 1911 is hard to beat when it comes to sex appeal and stopping power.
There's three 1911's in this video I'd absolutely LOVE to own.
The SIG Sauer STX
The Wilson Combat
and
The Nighthawk Custom.
That being said my EDC CCW is a Commander size Rock Island Armory chambered in .45 ACP and I am very pleased with it. Though sub-$1000, I think that RIA makes very good, reliable, dependable 1911's
Ruger SR 1911 commander unbelievable value for the money!!
You left out a great 1911. it is a Dan Wesson
Les Baer or Ed Brown. Superb accuracy, reliable, so well fitted it feels like a solid block of billet steel. This is supposed to be the best 1911, not the best cheap ass 1911. So why are we talking about Rock Island or Kimbers?
Wilson Combat 1911 are great, but they build in too many frivolous features costing a lot of money but doesn't add to the pistols performance. 40 LPI checkering or striations on the rear of the slide? I've never had the sun blind me reflecting off the rear of the slide. Flat topping to reduce glare? Puhlease! Fluting on the barrel chamber? Gimme a break. Same with ball end miling and other decorative features. Les Baers and Ed Brown SF build the most primal, purest essence of 1911s. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Beavertail grip safeties, good sights, enhanced safeties, excellent crisp trigger at 4 pounds, tightly fitted and all tuned for reliability, nothing else. It's as close to a pure fighting 1911 as you want with modern up to date features.
This ^^^^ x's 💯 every gun i have looked at for 1500 still needs 3-600$ in so called upgraded.those you mentioned are tight and ready to roll.just mid 2500$ range.ughhh
"best" can be subjective
Well fitted high end 1911 might be good in action shooting but in actual combat like trench warfare, the low end ones like the RIA or Tisas might be a better choice. Reliability might be more important than bulls eye accuracy. Just my opinion. I have a RIA 1911 A2 FS but I am more into revolvers for home defense.
Tisas is making a name for itself very quickly. I have several to include the new 9mm Double Stack 1911.
So much goodness in one video..
I’ve always been interested in owning a weapon but have never purchased one before. My career now later in life requires that I should carry a weapon for safety as well as wanting something for home security. I have always been partial to owning a 1911 45. As a first time gun purchaser, I’m certainly confused over which gun to buy. How does one make an informed decision about fit and feel before spending?
The Ruger 1911 is a sweet shooter too.
Ruger should stick to wheel guns.
I agree had a talo night watchman commander craftsman ship was worse than any ati or any other lower price 1911 very disappointing didn't keep it
Sad I sold my RIA 1911, but a DS commander size from their TAC line will be my next pistol. My Remington R1 on the other hand, has Wilson combat and ed brown parts in it. It’s a nail driver that I’ll never sell.
Hands down the nighthawk
Good trying to own this in CT 500 yr back ground check
No Dan Wesson or fusion firearms models, my list would have been little different
BRAVO.. & Thank you..👍👍✌
Love this information. Just purchased the Desert Eagle 1911 and for the price, feel I have the best of both worlds.
8:52 - strangest " solid gold front bead sight " you'll ever see .
Thumbnail was right ......number one shocked me. SDS /Tisas builds a much better fitted lowbuck 1911 than rock island. I carry my Ruger LW commander allot. If i could afford a big buck pistol the Night hawk in this vid is beautifully assembled but I've never even handled or fired one.
Yeah these are all high dollar pistols except RIA my Tisas br45 carry is better at the price point for a 1911... OH yeah it's cerakoted got it for $650.
If you were comparing quality per price points sure, but looking at this list, you will not convince me that an RIA is a better overall 1911 than the majority of handguns on this list, especially considering the Tisas was left out lol
I friend of mine gave me a rock island 1911 45 a few year's ago cause it kelp jambing up i polished feed ramp put new springs in it shoots like a champ with between 3 and 3and a half pound trigger pull
I mostly carry a Glock 19 now, but my first carry gun that I became very good with at the range was my dad's Colt Commander 45, and damn I miss that gun !!
G19 is hard to beat for a carry gun..
Wow you put a rock island as the number one 🤣😂🤣
Who manufactures the one in the cover photo for the video?
I came to the comments to know that too.
Sam here! Did anyone find out the thumbnail/cover photo manufacturer model? Looks dope!
Rapide Kimber and springfield my choice cool video guys keep it up
Prodigy,Ronin operator,colt commander,wilson CQ are my personal favs. Just my 2 cents worth. Sleep well Brandon
Very good pistol
Do you ever watch those cable shopping channels where they sell a collection of a hundred or so knives for the low price of $149.95. That Kimber would fit right in there based on looks.
I own a Sig 1911. Beautiful gun with with curvy finish where some of the original 1911A1 lines were squared off. Great gun, but stainless, so I can't (don't wanna) accessorize it or put any red-dot stuff or the like. My son who also has a similar model showed me a cool laser that is part of a grip set ... Might invest in one of those if it can be adjusted ... and still available.
i love sigs and would love to own the STX
Specialist for me !
I don't believe you ever fired a R1 Enhanced,
All awesome and good looking, but not as good as a Staccato.
What is the thumbnail pic of. Not in the video. it looks like it says "WIL CIN II ." But it's not a Wilson combat
I had the same question. No answer yet.
Magnum Research 1911 is the best for the price.
Recently bought the Magnum Research 10mm and just love it has a very smooth slide right out of the case no break in needed. Couldn't be happier, you get a lot of quality for the price.
Bul Armory or Magnum Research can’t be beat for the money
Proud Kimber owner
What gun is in the thumbnail?
I would liek you guys to check out the tisas brand they make some damn fine 1911's.
Tisas is a bottom end budget 1911. Not that good
@@blackhawk2302 just as good as some of the others i have shot
@@brandondavis4306 It's good for a budget 1911. It's better than a Rock Island. (I disagree with his #1 pick). Shoot a mid tier or high end and you'll see what I'm talking about. I have a Tisas. It doesn't come close to my Colt or Wilson. And for 75$ more, I got a Springfield Mil-Spec. Same thing. Better steel and better fit/finish.
@blackhawk2302 yeah but I bet you paid 2000 for the Wilson, and the colt isn't that far behind it.
@@brandondavis4306 The Colt I have is the exact one in the video. It's the Gold Cup, stainless with the blue G10 grips. Got it on sale. It was half the price of my Wilson. My Wilson is the 45th Anniversary. And yeah, it was expensive. So I think it's not fair to compare that to a Tisas.
I collect 1911s:
Tisas, Springfield Armory Mil-Spec, Girsan. Those are my budgets. The Springfield is the most accurate and best quality out of the 3.
Springfield Garrison, Colt Gold Cup, S&W 1911E, Kimber Raptor II
Those are my mid tier. They're all solid. All under $1500. If I had to pick, it'd be a toss up between the Colt and the S&W....
My top tier is the Wilson 45th Anniversary. It's an investment for sure at 2x the price of the others but it's a hand built, hand polished, hand tuned 1911.
My point is there's different tiers. You can't really compare one tier against the other.
If you like the Tisas, look at the Springfield Mil-Spec and the Garrison. Better quality and not much more....
Need to have the tisas in there
I like my Kimber Carry Pro ll.
How is the Remington ranked ahead of kimber if they have a shigty trigger
They must hav given him a free pistols???
Well you had me until # 1. RIA seriously?
Standard manufacturing makes great 1911s
Awesome video 👍👍👍
This video has one purpose…sell adverts
I own a ARMCOR 1911 A1 FS, .45caliber ACP made from Philippines, a second hand pistol, i hope it could be good, i dont even use in firing range to test.
I have only 1 1911 but it is a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 . I would never trade it in for any other 1911. It feeds anything I feed it and never had a jam or stovepipe. I don't think I need anything better.
Need has little to do with owning most of my 1911s. The Springfield Mil Spec, which I own, is rough and unfinished inside, with a heavy gritty trigger. It functions perfectly and will probably last hundreds of years. 😅
Sometimes ignorance is bliss. 😅
