#GSR #colt #1911

[@357ZEN]

A 1911 in 9mm is one of the most manageable pistols ever, hands down! I own two Colt 1911 9mm's and a Kimber 1911 in 9mm. I am a huge 1911 fan and shoot .45 ACP as well, but would prefer a 9mm. Either way, in either caliber, the 1911 is the Best handgun in the world! Thank you, John Browning!

[@yrsued]

I Agree with you `00%, love my .45 1911's, but I love them in 9mm too!!

[@AZBEEMR]

Browning developed the Hi Power for the 9mm parabellum cartridge. He developed the 1911 for the .45 ACP. (automatic colt pistol ) and never the twain shall meet!

[@jedermachtigallmighty7345]

This is a great gun. On My list for when i have more "room on my licence" for firearms. Great video Yamil 😎👍

[@norseman5041]

room on your license?

[@solarflare1008]

By far less recoil than the 38 Super. Nice and beautiful gun.

[@yrsued]

It is, I have fired both the 9mm and the .38 super and the super has issues being a Straight Semi Rimmed case, I prefer the 9mm!!

[@fightingbear8537]

Thanks for your review! Chip Mc Cormick magazines will make a 1911 reliable.

[@yrsued]

Thanks for watching!! Are you aware that Wilson Combat now owns CMC? Chip sold the company prior to his passing.

[@imthatguy1878]

I really enjoy my 9mm gold cup trophy, now if colt would just put metal mainspring housings in the rest of the 1911s, I put 25 lpi Wilson combats in all my polymer housed models

[@yrsued]

Colt started using the Plastic Mainspring Housings back in the 80's, when the Series 80's came out, I don't see them changing that anytime soon, you did the right thing by using the Wilson Combat parts.

[@AGC828]

1911's not reliable??? They just require more regular cleaning/lube-ing than a poly. They also have a tighter tolerance. Keep it clean and lubed --practice/train...there should be no problems. Poly are just more forgiving. For the shooter that isn't willing to put in the time to clean/lube his or her guns.

[@yrsued]

I've been shooting 1911's for over 35 years, and trust me, I never clean my guns, only when they start malfunctioning, other than that, I just run them!!

[@gregbettis3620]

Higher performance machines require higher priority maintenance, irregardless of whether its a car, plane, truck, wife, or firearm. If you're not committed don't get one.

[@karlmarz5236]

Anyone who says 1911's should only be only chambered in 45 should get their head out of the sand! 1911's ARE reliable! Love my 1911's in 9mm, from officer to gov target they are a joy to shoot!!

[@yrsued]

I agree with you, even though a great majority of my 1911's are in .45 ACP, I do own one in 9mm and it's super reliable and accurate!!!

[@ou812also5]

I love 1911s in 45acp and I love them in 9mm too! One of my most recent investments was a Gold Cup Trophy in 9mm with a Colt Custom Shop hand fit National Match barrel and bushing. Great shooter! I don't understand this talk (the last few years) about 1911 pistols being unreliable. Is that why we used it as a sidearm for 75 years (and still do today for some purposes) because it was so unreliable?

[@yrsued]

NOTHING unreliable about ANY of the 1911 Pistols I currently own!!

[@bunkstagner298]

Using an expensive "bar-b-Que" gun as a carry gun is sexy as all get out. BUT if you have to use it in defense that expensive gun will wind up in an evidence locker where it might just get "lost". Don't ask me how I know about a Colt Commander that was "lost" for almost 20 years before being "found"

[@yrsued]

Guns disappear in Gunsmiths hands too...

[@bosse641]

Sure want a full size 1911. ...wouldn't even a .38 Super be even smoother and less recoil than a 9mm ?

[@yrsued]

It's more or less the same recoil, depending on the loads you use!!

[@yrsued]

I would dare to say that 9mm would feed more reliably with the tapered case and the lack of rim.

[@yrsued]

.38 Super is a Straight Case with a Semi Rim too, It's a Bitch to feed reliably, I used it for years in UPSA on an Open Pistol, I used to load it to silly pressures!!

[@Compa576]

I don't reload anymore. Too old. Love the Series 70 45 but looking for a gentler shooting gun. Can you recommend a good soft load for this gun?

[@RedEyePergo]

Might be a lityle late but Freedom Munitions makes very light loaded 9mm rounds for the range some are as slow as 900fps thats 45 cal speeds

[@J1Z06]

"Absolutely"

[@averyprice9422]

Am i about to buy this gun? Absolutely... 😂😂😂😂

[@nickrev4057]

Does it have a firing pin safety block?

[@edperitore321]

Does it have cast and MIM parts if so which ones are they?

[@yrsued]

I know the Slide, Frame and Barrel are forged, I know the Beavertail is most likely Cast, the rest is a guess, honestly, I don't know about the rest of the parts...

[@imthatguy1878]

One thing that is a plus is the stainless mainspring housing vs plastic

[@falcon4548]

Wilson Combat high end pistols do not … and only cost a couple K more so…

[@grasunmajjurach6026]

VERY GOOD I LOVE I WANT COLT STAINLESS 38 SUPER ALL MODEL@ POLICE THAILAND

[@yrsued]

This is a very good choice

[@adrianojosebarbosabarbosa8826]

Qual o valor dessa pistola

[@yrsued]

$1,700

[@HomeGunMaker]

Awesome! I’m in love with the 1911, I think it’s the most beautiful gun in the world! Would you check out my channel and the 1911 I’m building?

[@lamontgray6015]

Did he say 1699 is affordable ?

[@yrsued]

Affordability is relative!! It is only affordable if YOU can afford it!!

[@lamontgray6015]

@@yrsued you right about that sir but dame that's steep

[@yrsued]

@@lamontgray6015 This might not the bet price for a new shooter, but for someone that wants something a little higher up, it's a Gold Cup, which a higher end Factory gun.

[@johnprice327]

9MM NOT FOR 1911 PISTOL .1911 45ACP ONLY .

[@yrsued]

This is NOT combat or Defense pistol!! The Colt Gold Cup WAS NEVER designed for that purpose. The Gold Cup was designed from the ground up as a Competition Pistol…

[@norseman5041]

I have a few 1911's. My favorite 1911 is in caliber .38 Super

[@yrsued]

Good Caliber!! I shot it a lot for many years!!

[@bungalobill7941]

Bought one. Rattles quite a bit Quick....Run Wait a minute It runs everything I put in it. Steel case, re-manufactured bulk, lead free, regular brass case range ammo, hollow point self defense Works with any mags I have tried. Cheap mec-gar 10 rnd are my favorite Bag rest at 10 yards/10 rounds I can get about a half dollar size hole with TULAmmo steel case. Pretty awesome Only problem was the extractor needed adjusting right out of the box, and it may be a little over sprung for my cheap ammo choices. May try a lighter spring, but probably not Would I trade it for something else?? Not on your life

[@yrsued]

I wouldn't be calling Men-Gar Magazine Cheap, are you aware that 99% of ALL OEM Magazines for almost ALL Gun Companies like S&W, Ruger, SIG, CZ, Walther, and just about everyone else out there is made by... Wait for it, Wait for it..... MEC-GAR!!! YUP, NONE of these companies make magazines!! NONE!! They are smart enough to go with the TOP Magazine Maker in the WORLD!! MEC-GAR!!!

[@yrsued]

But on the rest of the point, it is a good pistol, very accurate and reliable and if your extractor needed a little more love, not a big deal, that is very easy to fix!!

[@bungalobill7941]

@@yrsued Yeah. i didn't mean cheap in quality. I meant cheap in price. They are good quality mags at a very good price. The extractor problem took only about 5 minutes to fix. Remove, bend a little to tighten the casing hold, put back in. Easy fix. A common thing to check on any 9mm 1911 and keep adjusted. Many people buy into the marketing idea that a really tight frame to slide fit is essential or a sign of quality, most desirable, etc Simply not the case. A good barrel lock up is what's most important, and a quality barrel, also barrel/bushing fit. I have no desire for a super tight gun that is finicky and has to be broken in over hundreds of rounds, and still may not run properly.(finicky about ammo, mags, won't run when they get a little dirty, won't run dry at all, etc) Dan Wesson slides seizing up comes to mind. Pistols you have to pamper like a high maintenance wife or girlfriend Most people probably don't know that stainless steel 1911's can be even more finicky because of the metallurgy of stainless Anyway the proof is in the pudding. The pistol is very accurate, runs anything, and I am very well pleased

[@yrsued]

@@bungalobill7941 Yup, no high Maintenance 1911's for me!! NOT at all!! No habla Super Tight 1911's!!

[@bungalobill7941]

@@yrsued Yep. I am a shooter. I want a gun that will run at the range on cheap ammo and perform. Though the gold cup is a handsome gun. Just sitting around admiring it in my living room would not be my thing.

[@rifleman7.62]

I really enjoy your videos, I really want a colt 1911 in 9mm. Unless colt comes out with the all stainless steel commander in 9mm, I believe a colt competition stainless will be my next purchase this year. Keep up the good work!

[@yrsued]

Thanks, I like the Colt Competition even more now that it comes in Series 70!! IT wasn't bad in Series 80, but I prefer the Series 70 fire control over the FP Safety!!

[@wayneschnaak762]

This Gun will be my first 9mm 1911. Colt makes an awesome product. My first gun like most people now,was a Glock, ergonomically it’s a joke, aesthetically it is ugly, but it just flat out works. I then bought a Wiley Clapp 21st Century Commander and fell in love. I now have several Colt 1911’s, and they are all super reliable and fun to shoot. I will be purchasing a 9mm 1911 to have some fun with and this Gold Cup looks to be ready to race!

[@yrsued]

Ya, I know how you feel about Glocks, they're Fugly, but they DO work!! This is a fine 1911 and in 9mm, it's super fun and accurate!!

[@cisnerostampz1767]

Was looking for this gun .. couldn't find it 😏 .. bought a 38 super.. very nice.. smooth.. only problem the ammo its expensive lol.. but i mean is just for emergency /collection

[@yrsued]

Ya, that is the problem with .38 Super, but if you get into reloading, you might save a penny or two.....

[@musikilla2012]

Tiene solucion igual yo

[@lefty6758]

Do they make a 10 round magazine for the gold cup

[@yrsued]

10 round for a 1911?? Yes, Now, would Colt sell it?? Probably not First, Colt DOES NOT make the magazines, they buy from other companies. There are several high quality makers like Wilson Combat and Metalform that make 10 round 9mm 1911 mags!!! Wilson also make great 1911 .45 10 round mags that work great!!

[@FromACityThatSleeps]

Can anyone tell me if the magwell can be taken off? Im buying this 1911 regardless, but im wondering.

[@yrsued]

Yes, it can be removed, this is the EGW Magwell, it's a two piece design

[@FromACityThatSleeps]

Yamil Sued thank you

[@yrsued]

You're more than welcome, it's my pleasure!! This is a good pistol.

[@johnk815]

How’s this gun compare to a the Gold Cup lite? Thanks

[@yrsued]

Sorry, I haven't tested that one, so I couldn't tell you.

[@joshuaoliver5878]

Ahh junk, it’s in 9mm. Whenever I think about Colt Gold Cup I only think in 45 ACP. Waste my time.

[@yrsued]

Unless you shoot IDPA ESP, and you will NOT be competitive with 9mm!! The Gold Cup is a Competition Pistol, not a Fighting Pistol and even as a Fighting Pistol, 9mm is a great caliber!!
