ive got a 1922 colt police positive revolver chambered in 32long. a bit scuffed on the outside but locks up tight, a completely solid shooter.

[@bobbowie5334]

It's a collectable. Trust me.

How many of the recent manufacture pistols will be functional 100 years from now? They built quality with steel back in those days.

[@anorexorc1st]

lol. Loving Chewbacca breathing in the background.

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

Sure a good shooting pistol worth fixing up would be a decent carry and field gun.

[@lessage760]

nice shooting gun sir i like it thank you for sharing

[@bigbossman3806]

Most any .45 auto is worth saving with a little TLC and a few parts...kind of like you and I in our golden years. Hope all your medical tests come out ok, I'm sure some doctor will get to know you inside and out.

My only shooting experience with a 1911 was familiarization on a Trainfire range on Okinawa in the very early 1960's. All I can say is that the bullets eventually succumbed to gravity but without impacting any target vicinity. I pulled duty as a prisoner chaser at Fort Ord in 1960 and was given one magazine and a holster. No way was I going to shoot the miscreant given the petty crime of which he was convicted. Even if I tried to fire that old rattletrap, it's certain that I would only be a danger to bystanders or property. Not my favorite firearm.

That one has a lot of potential. A little bit of repair/updating and it will make a nice carry piece.

[@tberkoff]

The heavy breathing is distracting like others have said. Also it would be nice to see the details of the gun that you discuss. The camera is too far away.

[@davidcoudriet8439]

Hopefully we can revisit this one during/after repair.

[@alanstringer61]

I agree. It definitely has potential.

My Colt M1911 is still running like a champ it’s a 1914 vintage so in my honest opinion not to many things really still around and capable of doing what they were originally designed and intended to do

[@henrysara7716]

Keep it up George. Thy Sr.

[@independentthinker8930]

I'ld fix it, make a good field gun

[@jackmorin3362]

The Gunfather Restoration people in Montana can restore this pistol to its original glory.

[@Dave-sy3rg]

Who was snoring in the background?😂

[@esquad5406]

Ed. He got shot in the nose some years ago.

[@chrisborona5063]

Get off the camera ed

[@tberkoff]

@@esquad5406 You need a new cameraman. And we couldn't see anything from so far away.

[@dangerman007]

"It is the policy of this channel to shoot guns..." 🥰

[@ellsworthcrawford2074]

I thought Springfield armory made 1911 to l may be incorrect about that

[@paulbervid1610]

Very nice

[@ellsworthcrawford2074]

I love to own it l keep it with l was you

[@todddewell6314]

Keeper. Nice shooting George. I’m sure your wife is a fine cook. I hope your friend wants to fix it.

[@ricardogoodman1750]

Nice 👍

[@richrhocks]

The heavy breathing in the background is really distracting on this video

[@twentyfifthdui4717]

A vintage 1911 just gets some people really hot and bothered.

[@richrhocks]

@@twentyfifthdui4717 has nothing to do with the gun, but thanks.
