I wish nine still looked like that. That electroless nickel has tiny scratches all over it and looks like crap.

Awesome video and very educational. Enjoyed that very much!

Must be so smooth

impresionante!!! aplica todas las marcas??

Colt won't supply their own distributors with guide rod for Delta or any other part for a fact I went Wilson GI guide rod and Wilson Combat 22pound flatwire spring Brownells and Midway USA are Colt part distributors check these sites and find Out of stock will be your answer

All Delta Gold Cup variants are rare low production

October 2024 and this video helped me reassemble the pistol. Used a wooden match, cut down, for a slave pin. Thank you kindly good sir!

How i contact you ?

Some 11,5 , Meaning 45,

Dad had one , opened my mouth now gone , Taken. I bought stainless 6 inch barrel. Target model , 5,50 , $, Will get it back ,

I have one of these Navy holster pistols. We both have the rare variety where the hammer isn’t broken.

Before my brother was ship off to vietnam a guy approached him with a trunk full of pistols he paid 45 dollars from a 1911 45 ethica 45 he packed it in his duffel bag and sent it home to my dad ,and we used to shoot it every year for the 4th of july

Just when I thought these little guns couldn't get any cooler! I literally didn't even know the Junior existed 3 days ago, now I'm obsessed.

Same grips on both. Thought the 1908 were different!

Absolutely 💯 Beautiful ! Standard Sights , 🇺🇲 No Ugly Socom !👎

I have a Brazilian Military Colt 1911 .45 acp that my grandpa picked up in Anzio during WW2. It has the Crest and Portuguese script on the slide . But it has absolutely no date or numbers on the frame or slide. The frame says " Property of US Government " . And it has colt manufacturing logo on the frame as well. It is Nickel Plated with real Ivory grips although I have no idea what Animal the Ivory was harvested from to make the grips. I did have the grips looked at because i wasnt sure if they were actually Ivory or bone of some kind . It has a adjustable rear sight as well. It's super accurate and runs flawlessly like it always has. I love it not just for the sentimental aspect but it's a fantastic shooter . And by fantastic I mean it's Fantastic !

There are so many tiny components. I’m not sure doing a complete disassembly is a good idea. Is there any reason to really do this to clean the weapon?

I have one from 1918.

Experimentaly AWESOME

It would have been nice if Colt had made the magazines to match the originals with a half-blued finish and a lanyard loop on the mag......That said, still a very nice reproduction, I like mine!

I'll take ten ! Umm !

very cool

Ablan español

Welp I lost the spring went flying somewhere and have no idea where guess I’m screwed

Definitely a better sidearm than the Nagant.

I want this guns for safety

Pick sets make full dis/reassemble work a bit easier… (o.O) just sayin 😂

very nice presentation

Complimenti.

Another user is reposting your video under the name Quran Subha Sham.

Just proves you can get a patent for POOR DESIGN. This style FP block sucks to high heaven.

They also made the world’s first mass produced Railroad crossing bell, the model 15-A “Teardrop” bell.

Yeah it can be done but ruining parts from a rare gun on this demonstration should of been done on a useless Kimber!!

Putting the magazine in place will give it support. The sear pin should always be replaced!! They do get grooves. Use grease on all parts gingerly.

Well done thank you for the video.

Before there was Ian.

This is the greatest love song.

Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing that prominent piece of history with us!!

That was amazing. I wish this video could be redone with a little more time!

The history that remains is intriguing.

This channel is a love song❤

3rd grade drawing of a handgun?

So it begins.

Is this an actual WWII vintage accessory or a post WWII commercial one ?

Beautiful piece

I disagree with the date of manufacturing as i have an 84 version of said 1911 . Not quite the coffee table piece but in normal parkerised single thumb safety. Wood grips with colt medallion however the grip safety has a narrow short upsweep tang for the hammer which astetheticaly looks better however it gives me tang bruses lol!! Sights are 3 dot

If your gun is a early 80's pre 84 the woods grips are correct until 85!! I recently picked up an 84 MKIV 80 series officers 1911 45 ACP. It has the wood gold medallion grips with packmayer bump pads on the 3 -6 round only mags!! Doing research the 85 got the Packmayer grips as well!! BTW if you have any videos on any officers 3.5 " 1911's would be great 👍

Again in this video you left out the difference in the thumb safety's between the two 1911's!! The post war version has more of what looks like a new standard thumb safety and the pre war has the nub GI style! Not to mention the slide stations are angled forward and wider

I have 2 Colt Classic Government models which one I'm going to duplicate myself! Nothing was mentioned about the thumb safety as it plays a big part in the triggers action 🤷

Great details!! Beautiful pistols
