except, it is. something like a sig p226 is way more reliable. less moving parts, easier to strip, easier to clean, less picky on ammo. I have had zero jams ever with a glock/sig meanwhile a well cleaned, and lubed 1911 will jam every few magazines.
im sorry, but actual experience is to the contrary, the 1911 inspired many guys like the sig 226, but while these evolved and improved, the 1911 was left behind. While it was reliable at the time, it has been surpassed by superior designs. That being said my 1911 is by far my favorite gun to shoot despite having a limited magazine, abeing unreliable, a pain to disassemble and clean.
The original 1911 might be obsolete these days, but the design itself has been kept up to date. The M45A1 CQBP is still the primary service pistol of the USMC's special operations units. It's still a 1911 at its core, just built to modern standards and requirements. Even the M1991, which is the current "pure" 1911 being offered by Colt AFAIK, is a solid and reliable piece.
It is more obsolescent. It still does its job, but if you were going to war, it would be way down the list of guns you would want to take. It is just too big and heavy and complex for what it does.
John Browning passed away 96 years ago, and we still use his firearms. Seriously, even though the 1911 might be used on a smaller scale, the m2 browning machine gun is still heavily used globally. What a legacy
An Ordinator Indeed. This time shooting Heat Seeking 10mm explosive bullets that kill planets in one shot, or at least thats what anti-gunners want people to think.
I doubt it will change at all over the next 100 years. Unless we stat using laser weapons it will remain relevant, the m9 is in much more danger of going under, as military interest wanes and it lacks a strong civilian following.
"This type of .45 Automatic pistol was designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago. Learning its use is a New Canaanite rite of passage."
Really, anyone that has any interest in modern firearms, or the 1911 platform should watch the Tales of the Gun episode of Browning which is on youtube. Or any documentary on the man. I have no idea how one man can have this many revolutionary ideas on firearms. The only thing preventing me from thinking he's a time traveler is that his inventions are purely firearm related.
except it did. There have been many companies that have improved on the design. something like a sig p226 is way more reliable. less moving parts, easier to strip, easier to clean, less picky on ammo. I have had zero jams ever with a glock/sig meanwhile a well cleaned, and lubed 1911 will jam every few magazines. while the 1911 does have a smooth trigger, any well made hammer-fire will give it a run for the money.
Sam Beatty It is difficult to objectively prove reliability of one firearm over another and unless you have extremely concise criteria for your tests results will be inconsistent at best. For example I have a Colt 1911 that was made in July 1917, I have personally put over seven thousand rounds through it shooting as much as 500 rounds in a single sitting. I have never experienced any failures to feed extract or eject. It has shot every type of ammunition I have put through it from match to cheap blazers. The pistol operates clean dirty wet dry cold hot. I cannot say this for any other firearm I own.
you have different experiences than me. I have a custom kimber 1911and while it is an amazing pistol, I have to use high-grade ammo and clean it after every trip to the range. Even earlier today I had it fail to go into battery 5 times. I then switched to a sig p226 which has never jammed, and continued shooting. In my experience guns like the sig have taken the core of john brownings design and improved uppon it. I can dissassemble the pistol in 3 seconds, and because it has fewer moving parts, it is generally more reliable. Again, it is very similar to the 1911, but over a century of improvements in design have produced many superior guns. I would mention the glock, but everyone knows that those things are indestructable, but I don't like the ffel of striker-fires.
No one company makes or made the 1911, price and quality varies, pawn shops usually don't sell guns in good quality. Most pawn shops don't even know anything about guns.

I agree, but also remember the genius designs that made these guns so iconic and just overall SO bad-ass looking in the first place. The 1911 is a wonderful example of form AND function.
@@drkclshr The 1911 is the grandfather of nearly all modern pistols. And like he said in the video Glocks either wouldn't exist as we know them or be radically different or maybe not even exsist all together. But by today's standards it's antiquated at best. If you're talking from 1911 to 1970 you're not going to get much better than the 1911 and that's a pretty damn good run at being top dog.
M1911: Look kid, when I hit a fucker he KNOWS he got shot. His ass is on the ground. You don't just get hit by my .45 rounds and not react. 7 rounds, and if you need more then that it either means your a piss shot or there are more then 7 hostiles.
The M9 us beggining to be considered a boomer gun too. And honestly if there's any pistol that deserves to be the 1911 successor it's the M9. The real bad taste lies on the Glock.
The grandfather of the modern semi-automatic pistol. 100 years and still going strong. However, unlike other elders, this granddad's saying no to retirement homes.
Millad Bahrami That would be very fitting, also Stu likes to push the release of his videos. (no complaining, surely they are worth the waiting) But sincerely I doubt it
+Aiden Green is he part of Activision?? on twitter it says : Writer/producer of video content for TH-cam. Best known for the weapon guides. Prior work with Activision on official COD content.
Until this vid I legit never knew that the M1911 Soap gives Price in MW2 was the one from the end of COD4. Very nice attention to detail from the devs.
Agreed. I love how easy it is to shoot because of its weight. I hate how small 9mm hand guns almost want to fly out of your hands because of how light they are.
It's not an opinion, but objective fact that the 1911 has a lighter crisper break than all other major semi-autos sold and in use today. Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design.
Devlin Jones Have you ever shot anything outside of a video game? I have to ask that because 90% of the comments on these videos are from keyboard warriors. "Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design." By that logic, the Mosin Nagant should have a trigger that feels like virgin pussy, but it doesn't.
Mosin-Nagants being sold today are at a minimum least 70 year old surplus, made by peasants for peasants. Of course it feels like shit. The 1911s' trigger does nothing but push back slightly and takes the spring tension off of the bottom of the sear. Though not directly analogous is comparable to bolt action trigger mechanisms. In contrast striker fired pistols like the glock and double-action capable hammer fired pistols like the M9 and Sig sauer rely on an arm attached to the trigger to actuate the sear and release their hammer/striker, account for the relative mushiness of the trigger pull and longer reset times. In summary, the 1911 has the best trigger of any contemporary pistol, assuming quality parts. The Mosin wouldn't be bad either, if it wasn't ancient commie shit.
Wonder 9's: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, OLD MAN! M-1911: Lesson? I've been here over a century. Comeback and talk when you're that old, kid.
Don't forget about the other gun Browning made that refuses to die. Ma Deuce! The beautiful M2 50. Cal Machine Gun. Based off of the M1919 but made to be the Heavy Machine gun variant. Unlike the 1911, this one is still in service!
Ah yes the 50. Cal MG, the standard in put holes in everything. It may not be the fastest firing heavy MG, but damn it if your enemy wont feel safe in the firing zone of one of those beasts.
Some say this weapon is outdated, but I always tell them the same thing. " It's not outdated, it's old school and proud. It will only become "outdated" when we have laser weaponry and even then, it's still gonna go on strong. "

Little Fav The A1 actually fixed most of the issues that were experienced in the first gen rifles. Army went behind the DODs back to get them properly prepped.
The M1911 is here to stay and it wouldn't surprise me if the M1911 remains in production in the next century. Although i doubt that i'll be around to see the 200th Anniversary of the M1911. At least my children's children will be around to see the 200th Anniversary of the M1911 like i got to see the 100th Anniversary of the M1911. I wonder if my great grandfather ever thought that the M1911 would become an American icon and a timeless weapon
The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced, and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with nonslip grooves. A ring hammer. The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip. And not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and customized.
As someone who concealed carried a 1911 for almost a decade, I can say, with complete confidence, that this video is spot on. This pistol simply forgot to become obsolete. Or maybe, it decided it, like liberty, would never be obsolete.
I still have the Light Shining in Darkness from the 1st dlc in New Vegas, which was essentially a suped up version of the 1911. I've never cared too much for weapon history and usually toss most weapons into my vault for safe keeping in the game, but this makes me want to hold onto it even moreso now
Danox94 came to the comments to talk about this game. I still play it now and then. Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a badass WWII single player experience.
I have a general rule in gaming. If a 1911 or different variant of the 1911 is available, I have to use it as my secondary no matter how much obsolete it becomes
modern hi-end 1911s are notorious for being unreliable. and old rattly war time production 1911s are not super accurate nor designed with longevity in mind.
@@Sujamma_Enjoyer Yes its generalization and there are few exceptions, but 500-700 Rick island and Taurus 1911 are garbage. While for the same price you can get a modern handgun that will last you a lifetime. Kimber production quality has decreased in the last decade or so. Wilson Combat, Dan Wesson and Night hawks are nicer custom guns, but they cost a fortune. And unless you are collecting firearms or something there are no advantages on spending 4000 dollars for a 100 year old design firearm.
A century after the military adopted the first models and their still using them(even if it is only in small numbers). It’s a real gem of an automatic pistol.
4000 rounds into mine and not one malfunction. Standard loose fitting GI models tend to be extremely reliable. They don't jam until you mess with a good thing and start making changes and tightening tolerances... Looking at you, Kimber.
“The best designs are timeless” Me: *sobbing while looking at photos of the DMC Delorean.* Edit: nobody has said anything about it but I know the Delorean wasn’t the best car but it still looked badass
This was the first gun ive ever fired in my life. It really does feel like everything you want in a firearm. My only complaint is that they're not ambidextrous and as a lefty pushing the button to release the magazine is a bit awkward.
The M1911: American metal, wrapped in Freedom and Valor; branded by the flames of War; a symbol of peace and freedom to come and a promise of so much more; standing for Freedom, Equality, Justice, Humanity and is here to settle the score.
A friend of mine shot a variant of the M1911 about a year ago. His grouping was amazing, and he controlled it like he had been using it for years. It was his second time ever shooting a gun.
"A pistol that forgot to be obsolete". Is the perfect summary for 1911s, lol. I love this handgun. You'll find it extremely difficult to make me replace it. .45 ACP can REALLY hurt. It's a shame though this is not an added function in games with 1911s. They really downgrade the power in the game, it's shameful...
why not get a better pistol in .45 ACP then, most mass manufacutured 1911s these days, especially the ones from Colt for the past few years have dogshit to say the least
@@harveyknguyen Mine is a Sig Sauer C3 1911. And sorry for this long response... And to answer your question, I wanted the 1911 because it has over 100 years of usage, has 75 years of military service, and still being used by special forces today. If you take a look at most firearms from WWI, a gun is lucky enough to even see the battles of WWI. Or maybe even WWII. And if you're thinking this, no, I'm not of the "Won two world wars" crowd. What amazed me is the VAST usage across the world for years, not just in America. Seen alot of wars too. I wanted the 1911 because of it's history of usage. Not because it's a classic, or because it's the grandfather of pistols. But because it has stood against time. Not alot of guns can hold that title today. To me, a better gun is subjective... because alot think that new always means better. Now, I'm no Fudd. I do not deny progress. But guns are always being replaced left and right. For better or worse, that's the thing that worries me alot... That's why I want the 1911. I wanted a gun that has tested the limits of time. Lower recoil and double stacks are nice. But I didn't like the idea of being like everybody else and getting what everyone else gets... I felt mediocre. And I do not want to replace it... it's going to be my main carry. .45 ACP delivers the same in a 1911 as it does in any other gun.
@@USAFreewayROTF oh you actually have a nice one (for once, all i see nowadays are people bragging about their Kimber 1911 and the 200 rounds they've shot through it in the past 5 years) and no i'm not on the boat that newer is better, there's definitely quite a few examples of that (for example the 1911 as ironic as that sounds) but there are definitely much better designs out there that don't cost any more than a good 1911
@@harveyknguyen Yeah, it was the only one in stock. I was worried it wasn't a colt classic. But it blew my expectations. I now love it to death and can't think of replacing it. It even came with a crimson trace laser grip. I got it tuned up and now can hit precisely with the laser up to 50ft. Grouped up the targets really good. Magazines slip right out so smoothly. And I love the white dot green glow in the dark sights. Was almost $1k though, but honestly worth the purchase. Laser is of high quality too. I'm now up to 203 rounds shot through it. I'm planning to take it out to the range more often to get this thing broken in.
Perhaps a Kar98k? Or the G36 series? The Glock handgun series is quite well known, especially the full-auto G18, which seems the most popular. Backup pocket firepower. Springfield rifle? What about non-firearm weapons, like the K-bar knife, pattern swords like the 1796 light cavalry sabre or 1917 cutlass? Perhaps the baseball bat, though this may depart quite dramatically from the theme of militaristic weapons.
I doubt that real-life restrictions are really that represented in games. Anyway, blocks are renowned to be extremely reliable internally, dispite its plastic construction. The G36 has been immensely popular in video games, same with the Glock. I guess that games don't really have swords that are pattern design (I.e mass produced to a design), but it would still be cool if we got something about swords. I can see it now: "iconic arms-the sword"
A century of service, And ready for a hundred years more. A classic without compromise. The perfect intersection of ergonomics, reliable operation, and .45 caliber power. The pistol that forgot to become obsolete. *The M1911.*
Since a kid, the 1911 has always been my main idea of "pistol" , i dunno how to explain, its very charming , felt in love with it when i played Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Mafia 1

From personal experience, no semi auto handgun shoots as crisp and well as a quality 1911 to this day.
Opinions are like...
Agreed. I love how easy it is to shoot because of its weight. I hate how small 9mm hand guns almost want to fly out of your hands because of how light they are.
It's not an opinion, but objective fact that the 1911 has a lighter crisper break than all other major semi-autos sold and in use today. Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design.
Devlin Jones Have you ever shot anything outside of a video game? I have to ask that because 90% of the comments on these videos are from keyboard warriors.
"Just by virtue of the simplicity of the design."
By that logic, the Mosin Nagant should have a trigger that feels like virgin pussy, but it doesn't.
Mosin-Nagants being sold today are at a minimum least 70 year old surplus, made by peasants for peasants. Of course it feels like shit.
The 1911s' trigger does nothing but push back slightly and takes the spring tension off of the bottom of the sear. Though not directly analogous is comparable to bolt action trigger mechanisms.
In contrast striker fired pistols like the glock and double-action capable hammer fired pistols like the M9 and Sig sauer rely on an arm attached to the trigger to actuate the sear and release their hammer/striker,
account for the relative mushiness of the trigger pull and longer reset times.
In summary, the 1911 has the best trigger of any contemporary pistol, assuming quality parts.
The Mosin wouldn't be bad either, if it wasn't ancient commie shit.
The fact that this gun has continued to be used for 100 years is a testament to its reliability, and its near perfected design.

At least my children's children will be around to see the 200th Anniversary of the M1911 like i got to see the 100th Anniversary of the M1911.

The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced, and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with nonslip grooves. A ring hammer. The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip. And not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and customized.

A century after the military adopted the first models and their still using them(even if it is only in small numbers). It’s a real gem of an automatic pistol.
4000 rounds into mine and not one malfunction. Standard loose fitting GI models tend to be extremely reliable. They don't jam until you mess with a good thing and start making changes and tightening tolerances... Looking at you, Kimber.

"A pistol that forgot to be obsolete". Is the perfect summary for 1911s, lol. I love this handgun. You'll find it extremely difficult to make me replace it. .45 ACP can REALLY hurt. It's a shame though this is not an added function in games with 1911s. They really downgrade the power in the game, it's shameful...
why not get a better pistol in .45 ACP then, most mass manufacutured 1911s these days, especially the ones from Colt for the past few years have dogshit to say the least
@@harveyknguyen Mine is a Sig Sauer C3 1911. And sorry for this long response...
And to answer your question, I wanted the 1911 because it has over 100 years of usage, has 75 years of military service, and still being used by special forces today.
If you take a look at most firearms from WWI, a gun is lucky enough to even see the battles of WWI. Or maybe even WWII.
And if you're thinking this, no, I'm not of the "Won two world wars" crowd.
What amazed me is the VAST usage across the world for years, not just in America. Seen alot of wars too.
I wanted the 1911 because of it's history of usage. Not because it's a classic, or because it's the grandfather of pistols. But because it has stood against time. Not alot of guns can hold that title today.
To me, a better gun is subjective... because alot think that new always means better. Now, I'm no Fudd. I do not deny progress. But guns are always being replaced left and right. For better or worse, that's the thing that worries me alot... That's why I want the 1911. I wanted a gun that has tested the limits of time.
Lower recoil and double stacks are nice. But I didn't like the idea of being like everybody else and getting what everyone else gets... I felt mediocre.
And I do not want to replace it... it's going to be my main carry. .45 ACP delivers the same in a 1911 as it does in any other gun.

Perhaps a Kar98k? Or the G36 series? The Glock handgun series is quite well known, especially the full-auto G18, which seems the most popular. Backup pocket firepower. Springfield rifle? What about non-firearm weapons, like the K-bar knife, pattern swords like the 1796 light cavalry sabre or 1917 cutlass? Perhaps the baseball bat, though this may depart quite dramatically from the theme of militaristic weapons.
Sam Williams Glocks blow up
G36s melt
Cavalry hasn't really been represented in games
The only one worth doing (in that list) is the Gewehr98/Kar98k
I doubt that real-life restrictions are really that represented in games. Anyway, blocks are renowned to be extremely reliable internally, dispite its plastic construction. The G36 has been immensely popular in video games, same with the Glock. I guess that games don't really have swords that are pattern design (I.e mass produced to a design), but it would still be cool if we got something about swords. I can see it now: "iconic arms-the sword"
