A Brief History of the 1911

[@rldabomb33]

best and complete history of the 1911 on youtube..

[@rickyrobertson8064]

J.M. BROWNING understood the cartridge more than he is given credit. The guns were always built around the cartridge.

[@steveb6103]

He also invited the .45acp round.

[@nickhulme9100]

The 1911's "Tilting Barrel" is a mechanism to delay the release of the slide from the barrel, this allowed a more powerful cartridge to be used than a straight blowback would cope with.

[@pyeitme508]

So detailed!! And thanks to John Moses Browning to make this amazing design for more than a century!

[@SandwedgeMon]

Carter was so damn happy to wear this shirt for this video!

[@hosnbros]

That smile of Carter’s was pretty like spooky

[@MrPearlsareforever]

very impressive knowledge and Cabot pistols are just breath taking.

[@garystrobel7969]

So glad I watched this video. What a knowledge of history of the venerable 1911. I have read about how guns and calibers were tested and subsequently adopted, unique stuff.

[@lorenzolucaj2873]

Favorite gun ever made.

[@emperorconstantine1.361]

Personally, being a big guy, I need a large frame pistol when I go to the range.c Fun to use, great angle and I can manage the recoil like it’s nothing!!

[@ViaAvione]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Baltimoreborn]

It’s so awesome being able to watch genius at work if I buy a Cabot gun I will definitely ask for this gunsmith

[@PANICBLADE]

The reason why the phrase isn't "This is the best thing since the Colt Government model!" is because sliced bread was invented in 1928.

[@fireshutupinmybones5636]

Thank you gentlemen for such a great video

[@steveb6103]

Perfect if you like hammer bite! I have an M1911 made in 1918. And you have to be careful about how you grip it. The Hipower is the same way.

[@saintbabylon7250]

It’s not the most hi-tech, light weight, or possibly most reliable these days but it’s shelf life & anything our military, law enforcement, the criminals uses til this day is iconic not to mention it’s just a dead sexy gun still the slickest side arm til this day. A pimped out glock next to a basic 1911 still wins in my book.

[@adamsowers8957]

Wonder what the next John Moses Browning type figure will create?

[@christopherpenafuerte1902]

It was developed only because the .38 cannot bring a Filipino down. Thank you for mentioning the Filipino-american war. Man-Stopper. hahahaha Because back then we carried knives. You had powerful handguns, we have and still have sharper knives.

[@gunnarkvinlaug7226]

There's a huge difference between a . 38 and a 9mm Parabellum, the only thing in common is the size of the bullett!

[@DK-gy7ll]

The Philippine Moro Juramentados were dedicated and fanatical fighters, devout Muslims, and would mentally and physically prepare themselves for death in battle. They often took hallucinogenic drugs as well. Such fighters proved extremely difficult to kill because they would shrug off pain that would normally incapacitate an average soldier. While the .45ACP was developed largely to deal with such opponents, the truth was the US Army's .30-40 Krag rifles weren't always effective at stopping a Juramentado in his tracks either.

[@scooterbob4432]

The Philippine Moros have not been fully conquered by the Spaniards, by the Americans, by the Japanese or even by the current Philippine government. They are still in Mindanao and are now equipped with FAL 308 fully automatic battle rifles or AK 47s and their ever loaded sharp bolos (machetes).

[@ashtzy9682]

It's people from Mindanao or so Called moros especially the tausug tribe that gun is made for them

[@nicholascauton9648]

Because I like a little bit of historical irony, I’ve written a novella that has a main character that is of Filipino descent and carries an M1911 as his trademark weapon. While I don’t intend to confirm nor deny this, it is rumored that his lineage is from the Philippine Moros that fought the Americans in 1899.

[@royyates1558]

Nice review guys!

[@litjaso003j3]

DUDE! Love the uzi shirt. Where can I get one?

[@chrisgranados3835]

That's guy was smart with his 1911 history

[@555Gear]

Great history Carter, and I see your all dressed up for the big luau

[@peterroberts7832]

Alvin York? Will I be able to resist the urge to write the lyrics to a Sabaton song?..... no In the draft of 1917, a man from Tennessee Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free!

[@andrewprice1774]

John Moses Browning also designed the .50 BMG machine gun that doesn't look like it's ever going to see a service end date 😂!!!!

[@markh9875]

Are there any statistics on estimates of how many people this gun has killed? I know there are studies of overall weapon types - this percentage killed by artillery, this percentage by small arms, etc. But particular weapons? Has someone read 100 after battle reports and extrapolated perhaps?

[@geezer4962]

Thank God for John Moses Browning.

[@davidno1minton997]

Cool,gun

[@mrat5854]

Good video, thanks

[@JG54206]

Interesting that on a 1911 the slide stop requires either breaking the firing grip or using the offhand to release the slide when reloading. I guess the Calvary guys just broke the firing grip to release the slide?

[@SuperCourser]

Carter a real life Rainman

[@lorenzolucaj2873]

Carters shirt is fuego! 🔥🕺🏻😂

[@mondingperez4790]

the americans outgun the filipinos , it was a massacre not to mention canon

[@FritzkiTV19]

During American Philippines War in 1902 they made a Pistol to fight the Pilipino Guerilla

[@vancedyer755]

Good video.

[@mburk8329]

Speed of reloading, during sustained Moro swarms attacks, was the biggest advantage of the 1911 over any revolver. 2 seconds to reload a .45 1911. 30 seconds for a .45 Peacemaker. Everyone is always hung up on the caliber size killing power. That was only half of the issue.

[@gunnarkvinlaug7226]

Well, between 1873 and 1911 they invented both a swing out sylinder and speedloaders for revolvers.

[@mburk8329]

@@gunnarkvinlaug7226 Still significantly slower than an automatic. Modern speed loaders for revolvers are really fast. But back then, for the Navy .38 ,they were essentially a block of wood with holes in them to hold the bullets in the shape of the cylinder.

You win wars by breaking things and killing people, keep politics out

[@deeblack9393]

The M9 replaced the M1911 in 1985 NOT 1984!

[@wbbj1]

You didn’t even mention why they made it, which is the 38 wasn’t killing the Filipinos.

“Philippine insurrection” that’s hilarious cause the Americans were in Filipino land so how is that an insurrection?

[@smoothcriminal7232]

It was.. During that time US owned the Philippines, Spain sold it to them

[@jhokonasayo3291]

@@smoothcriminal7232 LoL! Americans was scammed by the spaniards! 🤣🤣🤣 I taught american are smart people. Philippines was never been owned by other countries but only by Filipinos. That's why there's a resistance all over the country because you can't owned what is not yours!

[@jamchavez3330]

@@smoothcriminal7232 Filipino already defeated Spain before Americans came in. The battle of Manila between Spain (naval battle) vs USA was a joke. They dont wanna surrender to their former slave so they invited the USA to create and make up story.

Just build em like they did back in the day. That stainless with rubber grips is ugly. Looks like a busted down shined up Daytona hooker.

[@thorkill8246]

[@gunnarkvinlaug7226]

A bust to the american ego is that the Luger P08 9mm is accualy concidered a better pistol, but was to expencive to produce to make it worth for big military contracts. Instead it was more used as a personly, highranked officers or spesial personell, td Gestapo, gun. And the 9mm Parabellum amo is nearly as powerfull as 45 ACP in close combat, and would be the amo for the next devolepment of the M1911 A1, the Browning High Power of 1935!

[@jimbob465]

The luger is unreliable and complicated compared to the 1911. No one with a knowledge of firearms would call a luger superior. You yourself have no reasons just a blanket statement that no one agrees with....

[@canjo4588]

Both are pistols both are considered close range .

[@gunnarkvinlaug7226]

Still survived two wars and in small use until 1987!

[@gunnarkvinlaug7226]

And it's cartridge is the most used combatcartridge in the world.

[@CrazyPetez]

Gunnar Kvinlaug The USA adopted the 9mm cartridge for political reasons.
