Today let's discuss the rich history behind the venerable 1911. The examples on display today are original WW1 through Vietnam Era 1911's.

What a great history lesson! I bought a Remington 1911 a few years ago because it looked so much like the one I carried in the Navy back in the 70s when I guarded the nuclear missile magazines. Coincidentally, I berthed on the other side of a bulkhead from the missile magazine. Nukes 25 feet from my head. Explains a lot.

JMB designed the 1911 as an evolutionary development from earlier models of semiautomatic pistols. The design is so simple that a bumbling car mechanic could take an inoperative parts collection and turn it into a solid, reliable shooter. A guy whose brother I worked for brought in a nearly unidentifiable 1911 that was mostly assembled. It has an aluminum frame with El Monte, CA stamped at the lower end of the grip frame, and a Remington - Rand slide. The recoil spring was in place, but so mangled that it bound the barrel and slide when trying to cycle the action. I was known to have a collection of assorted guns and so John asked if I could possibly get the pistol to hold together and shoot. I told him that even though I had no experience with the 1911s, I'd be happy to help if I could. The barrel bushing seemed to be loose, so that weekend, I went to a local gun show and found a guy selling 1911 parts. I bought a recoil spring and bushing for $8.00 & $4.00. Got the parts home and reassembled the slide. The replacement bushing was more solid and the good spring allowed the slide to glide over the barrel. Next came the grips. The bushing threads were stripped. Since the pistol was not about to be perfect, ever, I came up with a plan to secure the grips to the frame. I mixed up a bit of JB Weld and put it on the threads of each bushing. Put them in the holes in the grip frame and let them set for a day. That did the trick. Put the panels on and gave it a try. It felt really good and tight. I tried to insert the magazine and it travelled a short distance in the well, then stopped. I was certainly baffled, using a flashlight to look for the problem. There it was. The JB Weld had formed four little rings in the well. A gentle filing and they were flush with the well's inside walls. I took the pistol to work and gave it to its owner. He was very impressed with the now functional pistol. He asked if I had test fired it, and I told him that I had no ammo. He pulled out a box of old hardball ammo and put three rounds in the magazine, handing it over to me. I was confident in the pistol and loaded the magazine and racked the slide. POP POP POP. Worked flawlessly. John was elated, as was I. He originally expected to have to sell it for nothing, but when it came back to him in working order, he decided to keep it. That was a bit under thirty years ago and I haven't been in touch with the guys. John might still have the old slabsides in a toolbox.

If you watch carefully at :42 seconds in, you will note the shiny spot on the side of the 1911 behind the slide stop. In 1987, I bought a Remington Rand 1911 A1 with the same shiny spot. Upon research I discovered that the spot was caused by a lot of carry in a military holster. The flap stud had a piece of leather sewn over it to prevent metal to metal contact, but it wore shiny spot in the finish.

When I was 10 (1960) my dad was given a 1911 that had been in a fire but the damage was superficial. With new springs and cold blue it shot like new. He was in it about $10. I loved to hold it (I shot it some too) Then I heard about Armand Swenson and Kings Gun Shop and how they improved these cheap, plentiful guns. I bought a WWII pistol for 100 bucks and began my education in improving the 1911--it responded well to all my homemade parts and I began to be known as a "45ACP guy". These days all the things I did are commonplace and cheap. I can still tweak a troubled 1911 into a sweetie and enjoy it as much as ever.

My first 1911 Colt .45 came to via my grandfather who served in WW1. He also served in a reserve status during WW2 as a training officer at the U.S.M.A, West Point, N.Y. In between the wars he served as a captain in a occupying force under Gen. Mac Arthur on Luzon, P.I. in the 1930's. This pistol was by his side throughout his entire military career. Now, it is mine, now serving only as a home protector. I have added several other 1911A1 of more modern manufacture to use as sporting and target equipped sighting. Love 'em all! Especially a "Gold Cup NM" by Colt.

I picked up a used Colt Government model a few years ago and it came with a Colt Ace II 22 lr conversation kit. Absolutely love it!! I do carry it from time to time. There's just something about a classic 1911 that exudes nostalgia and makes you appreciate a century old design. Keep up the great work!! Definitely subscribing to your channel!!

ive got a ww1 colt 1911 made in 1913. every part is original but always wondered about the grips on mine. mine are fully checkered like yours, not double diamond. do u think they are not original grips? i was always told those all had double diamond grips

Actually, the most common grips on this era of 1911's were the KEYS style grips. (All checkered.)

I'm planning to buy a 1911 replica (because owning a gun is illegal in my country), so I wanted to ask: have plain wooden grip pads ever been produced for serial 1911s? All I see irl have embossed pads, yet out of available replicas all the embossed pads are either plastic (yuck) or wooden, but too bright. And if plain pads are not historically realistic, do you perhaps know a way to make a wooden pad darker? Perhaps there is an easy way to, I know some reenactor did so, but I don't know what he used.

Try searching for 1911 grips online. There are actually a number of manufacturer's who make darker wood and/or synthetic grips.

I can pick up a 1911 with a 1919 frame and a 1941 slide and barrel. It's not uncommon to see these guns that guys tried to "upgrade". I know it hurts the value, but do you think $900 is a fair price for a gun like this in good cosmetic shape?

The 1911 is something special. I always knew that. but I have the proof now. My gf shoots all my guns: Walther, Glock, Beretta , Tisas px9, Taurus g2c, ruger p90, rm380.... One day I brought the 1911 with us. She shot better with that then any other pistol and loved it so much she bought one. So someone raised on polymer framed, and other high capacity 9mms took an immediate liking to the 1911. The trigger, slim grip, grip angle, pointability, and manageable recoil just makes it a joy to shoot. Most modern? No way. Still super comfortable to shoot accurately? yup.

I generally dont use handguns but I know how to use them very well.If I wanted one or two handguns to use in self defence or military applications it would be the WW2 version of the 1911.They are flawless,no jams.Its too bad they didnt make them in a 40 smith and wesson calibre.A little more firepower is better in a military or self defence scenario.
