Hey I just wanted to say I really like your channel a lot and I really hope to see you grow. You have a really good balance perspective and choose a lot of guns to review that I’m interested in. Thanks for your hard work🙏🏻
Thanks man. I appreciate you watching . 🤠
I have a 2005 Colt Defender That came with aluminum Frame and came with Hogue Wrap Around Grips. I bought a 2012 Tool that let's You take it apart and re assemble . Colt Has Been sold Out To CZ sense I bought Mine. Glad To see They are keeping up quality .Mine Runs Great .I Put Different Grips on mine. Love me some Joey Whales.
Nice looking Colt!
The Colt Defender has been my EDC for years, now that my eyes are no longer young I have chosen and trained with
a laser site option as well. I have carried a 1911 of one configuration or other for 50 years. In that time I have tried many of the "best" EDC" guns that have come along in those years. I always return to the 1911 usually a Colt. Is it the best? I don't know. Is it for me? YES...
Nice! I used to have a blued version, but I got rid of it due to the QC issues. I hope yours is a keeper! 👍👍
Another great video / review, thank you!!! Another pistol that I need to pencil in on my wish list!
Thank you for watching 🤠
You need to review a Fusion Firearms 1911. Like Tisas, its a great value for the money -- but made in the USA. All tool steel parts and less than $800 for most models. I like their Commander size 1911 in 9mm.
How about you ask him to instead of tell him what to do. What you NEED TO DO is ask in the form of a question.
I have 3 guns from them, pretty nice.
Your Colt Defender is far better looking than my Colt Defender purchased in 1998. At least today's Defender has Novak sights versus my 1998 Defender with standard high profile Colt sights, Hogue wrap around grips versus wood grips, and beaver tail grip safety with bump versus standard Colt grip without bump nor upswept beavertail grip. My Defender still works after all these years with only part change is the recoil guide spring with the Kimber Ultra recoil spring guide and plug which allows for easier disassembly versus the factory Colt recoil spring assembly which is flimsy....
I had a charles daley just like this gun .It shot fine .The only problem was the best i could shoot it was a circle of holes arround the bulls eye.😅It had same bull barrel and recoil assembly.I think the rifleing was cut to shallow .I only shot ball ammo .
Always wanted this gun. Great review!!
Accurate and thoughtful review. I've had the 45 Defender in stainless steel for only a couple of months and have 750 trouble free rounds through it. Same model as yours except I opted for the VZ blue and black Colt grips they offer.😁 Subscribed!
Nice Colt. I personally prefer the standard length grip. I'd like to see the full-size grip with the Officers size slide and barrel. My favorite is the Commanders size. I prefer a shorter slide and barrel.
I got a one year only plus version with the full size grip..badass edc. to be sure..cheers 🇺🇸
Excellent review and nice gun. Unfortunately, Series 80 will be a deal breaker for some.
I totally understand about the series 80
Really glad you’re happy with the Defender , thinking about getting one myself 👍🇺🇸
Moooove 🐂 them! 😁. Nice gun!
🤣
I'v always been skiddish of the 3" guns myself but man that one seems to be a winner. I wish nothing but the best for Colt really. I just found one of the AR15-A4 marked 20" rifles and it is a sweetheart.......crazy accurate. Whats funny is it's more accurate than my purpose built SPR LOL......but I'm not complaining for sure. I've been looking for a Colt CC 4.25 or LW commander for a while now but that little officers model is looking pretty good too!
If I remember, Colt is under a overseas ownership now, they are the ones making the chages needed.
Good, enjoyable video Matt. Glad to see that little shorty ran without any issues. Really good looking little gun also. Have to admit I chuckled a bit when Josey Wales made his appearance. Scene stealer! As always good video, good info Matt!
Thanks Mikey 🤠
Got the plus ➕ version..my favorite edc..hand cannon in a pocket 😎💪🏻
Great video, totally enjoyed it! After admiring and researching sub compact 1911's for CCW, I am getting very close to purchasing a Colt Defender .45 ACP, blued version for deep concealment application's. My question, maybe you can help me with, is about ammo. Is it better, in terms of reliability, to use 185 grain ammo in place of 230 grain due to the shorter slide / recoil spring / barrel? I was told the lighter ammo functions better in the sub compact 1911's. I run 230 grain ammo in my Government and Commander size models with no issues but I'm not sure about the sub compact model...Take care and stay safe my friend!
I have the exact same gun. It will be one of my winter carry guns, I love it! It has a sweeet trigger pull. Great channel! keep up the good work,
Thanks man 🤠
Yeah it's compact. Have a look at a Detonics Combat Master. Wish I had bought a Colt Officers model back in the day. The cherry/black grips on yours are a great look. I have some Wilson Combat like them on a Beretta 92x.
Colt has a new model called a night commander. It is a black cerakote lightweight commander with brushed stanless controls, night sights, black g10 grips and some vertical grroves on the front strap. Very nice.
I did not know about that. Nice 👍🏻
You need more 1911s in 9mm.
Defender is my favorite gun ever,,,,but not this one, there is another version called "colt combat elite defender",,,hope you make a review for that gun,,,wanna know if it got the "plastic" main spring housing like this guy.
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for the comment 🤠
That looks like a good pistol, though I think I'd prefer the combat commander. As I watched you shooting it, I noticed the watch you are wearing and how it was affected by the recoil. It looks like a nice watch. Watches are pretty tough, but that's a lot of shock impacting some tiny delicate parts.
If you find time, I would love a vid on your watch collection.
You got it man. It’s coming 🤠
Oh, goodness. Those fussy, four-legged steaks gettin’ in the way! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Might need you to lend me that weapon for a bit so I can try it out.
I have a Colt 45 New Agent Lightweight with the Crimson Trace laser grip. Aren't these pretty much the same guns? What are the differences? I love my little hand cannon, lol!!!
Pretty much the same man 🤠
Beautiful piece 🇺🇲✌️
I would like to see a Colt Defender in 38 Super.
Now that would be awesome 🤠
hopefully it has a ramped barrel an not the soft frame ramp.
Nope. No ramped barrel. Standard setup.
One of my long-time favorites, but I don't own one.
Is that ranch your property? It's very beautiful. Saludos from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🇺🇸
Yes sir. Its all mine 🤠
Good video 👍
Thanks man 🤠
Is this made under cz?
Yes
Colt defender 9 mm. Review
Sorry, rattle gun...nope...
My late 1970's Gold Cup has challenged it to a rattling contest.
Nope
OK 👍🏻
Great review. Hopefully Colt is getting their excrement together. Nice little.45 though.
