Colt Rail Gun 1911

[@TheLegoJoker]

You’re so well spoken man. It’s funny that you didn’t think you’d do well but we are all our own biggest critics so I guess it makes sense. Good looking Colt!

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

I appreciate the compliment and sincere words. Don’t foresee myself doing this actively but every now and then I may pop up with something!

[@blaiseeltine9516]

hey lego. gun looks familiar, huh?

[@danielmattera4298]

Great review! I cleaned my M45 while watching this! Thats a fantastic piece you've got there!

[@Localjadedealer]

Great video man, I just discovered your channel!

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

[@BBDragon66]

Very Nice! I have a Springfield TRP Operator with the short rail (like your Rail Gun) in 10mm that I enjoy.

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

I had a TRP, MC Operator and LB Operator before. Loved all the platforms.

[@djmm468]

Good review my man! I run the vickers Wilson combat mags. Pricey but legit especially on my duty piece

[@lynch6642]

That's a beautiful gun, congratulations I have the Colt Delta Elite...

[@lancestenfeldt9551]

I can only find these in stainless as current production. I'm Hoping Colt starts making the Blued SKU model again soon. Great 1911 and video 😎

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

There’s a CCU Rail that’s available on TACSWAP. It’s a beautiful DLC black

[@lancestenfeldt9551]

@JoeFromTheAfternoon I looking for the models around $1,100 msrp. The Marine and CCU are double that price 😐

Great video love colt 1911s especially with rails and surefire x300 I love my m45a1 I had a combat unit in 9mm was great too Good production guns overall will work out of the box with Good magazines (Wilson combats)

Keep em coming brother

[@blaiseeltine9516]

hi Joe..talked me into one.. im pudding an optic on it. prob have to sort out the 4-5lb trigger.. get it down to a respectable 3ish.

[@adolfhilter]

great video, nice pistol

[@mikeike7114]

Hello. I don’t like the beavertail on this (too low for hand placement). Is there any way to replace with a quality high ride beavertail? Is it possible? Can you please recommend one? Thank you very much.

[@dudespin]

When it comes to 1911s it’s either a Colt all others are Non Colt. When I had a chance to get a 1911 in the year 2020 I went with the Colt Traditional in 45 Auto - the round the pistol was designed to shoot.

[@ElBandido_pecas]

Beautiful 1911 ❤.. I recommend some vz grips double diamond marsoc color and make it the m45a1 clone

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

Not a bad idea at all!

You are correct the slide and frame are forged, but the small parts are MIM..

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

The research I’ve conducted suggest otherwise. Not trying to be argumentative here, but can you provide a source? I’ve read extensively on this particular firearm, and a small parts are not MIM. One article I sourced is here: chuckhawks.com/colt_rail_gun.htm They talk extensively about the lack of MIM and forged quality throughout.

[@USMC03OG]

@@JoeFromTheAfternoon You would be hard pressed to find a 1911 manufacturer that doesn’t use MIM these days with the exception of Dan Wesson and the custom guys like Nighthawk, Wilson combat, Ed Brown Etc. I believe Dan Wesson is the only “production” 1911 that doesn’t use MIM, they used Ed Brown small parts in the past but I believe might be making them in house now. An easy way to tell is if there is a faint line on the back of the hammer that is an indicator that it’s MIM. I don’t believe Colt makes a single current model that doesn’t use MIM parts. That being said there is nothing wrong with MIM, it just comes down to personal preference.

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

@@USMC03OGremember this was back in 2010. I do not believe Colt used MIM in that time. I agree nothing wrong with MIM, but I give credit where it is due for firearms that don’t have them. Having said that, I’ll conduct more research and update my description if I find that I wasn’t 100% correct about that. I don’t want to be spreading false info.

[@USMC03OG]

@@JoeFromTheAfternoon From my research Colt has been using variations of MIM since the 1970’s. They are regarded as having very high quality MIM, but if you want a “true” no MIM gun you have to go with the brands mentioned earlier. That being said you have an awesome quality pistol that I’ll probably be personally picking up myself!

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

@@USMC03OG I appreciate the feedback. I’ll verify what you’ve said and if accurate, I’ll update my description for sure. Much respect! Thanks for viewing!

I have heard mixed things about colt and such especially their 1911s have heard that its very mixed i thibk it was due to their QC issues they had before Cz bought them out. I hope they are on the right track. Im saving up for the combat unit goverment frame in 9mm. I know im breaking the rules of not having my first 1911 in 45. I adore the 1911 im a new shooter and love 1911s appearance and has what im lookibg for, yes i do know its a really expesive pistol got a beginner and mostly for experinced shooter. I however am familiar with thw 1911 platform due to airsoft the controls and such etc i familiar with. Ik the capactiy is limited but im in a communist state not CA but NY yeah laws here suck. With that said i do want to know how colt 1911s are in this day and age is it a good beginner guide 1911 compared to springfield, kimbers, S&W, Ruger, etc these are the ones i know from the top of my head. Where does colt stand thats all i want to know about it Oh and the reason why my first 1911 is in 9mm and not 45, well 45 is so fucking expensive i do not have the budget to afford 500rds of 45. Also i get two more rounds compared to the 45 and if i get the cain arms baseplate if im in a free state i have a total of 12rds compared to 10 with the extended base plate

The "special" thing about owning a Colt is that they don't run and the customer service is horrific

[@JoeFromTheAfternoon]

Mine has ran amazingly.

Colt isn’t the most refined but A colt holds its value the best but besides that there’s just something about a colt in the hand that feels right, I got a colt 1911 custom shop competition limited few days ago and when I first held it I literally said wow😬🤌🏿
