your frikkin retarded and dont need to own any firearm. you looked directly down the barrel with your thumb on the trigger, had you finger on the trigger the whole time, and im honestly surprised your alive right now
@imperfecttactics Well lucky for you and the rest of the world Im happy to report I own 12 firearms... and the gun was pointed at the camera not my face dumb ass... coming from someone with perfect in there name! ha
@imperfecttactics So why are you surprised? Because he pointed an UNLOADED gun at himself? So you're afraid the pistol will somehow kill him even though you know that that's literally impossible? Gun safety is always a good practice, but don't flip such a big shit if you KNOW it's unloaded and he points it.
@skla69me Actually, no. A Colt from back in the day, yes. But not a modern one. You pay for the Colt name nowadays. Not quality. Springfield Armory IS quality.
@ProtoformX I agree with this. Springfield 1911's are a fine pistol, up there with the best. I own one too and it's top notch. I have a loaded model with trijicon sights and that gun is way more accurate than I am.
@marksman9939 Wilson Combat has a lot of newer features plus there made bad ass, but at the end of the day its how many rounds you can land on target. I put maybe 1,200 rounds through it... no issues at all
sweet gun, very nice. @ steveleadbeater, you said it was just out of the box so it is safe, its his gun and he was just checking it out and showing it off, its fine if he wants to pull the trigger and point it at the camera.
"...lower grip deal." It's called the mainspring housing. Know your gun, idiot. Also, I love the pointing at your face with a magazine in your gun. Man, you are a piece of work.
@ShaneMSnyder wow saftey police, mind your fuckin business. your right, but fuck noone cares. they blow their own head off its not going to effect you or anyone else watching it. it would be one less dumb fuck.
lol @ you should have got a colt or kimber BLACK VERSION HUH? thats called a parkerized finish that would be the grip safety and a barrel hood not "THIS DEAL" you shouldn't even own a gun youre an idiot
great looking weapon.. sloppy weapon handling though. i'm sure you probably checked your firearm already or believe that it's safe cause it's out of the box, but damn i wouldn't wave a weapon like that around knowing that there is even a magazine in the well.
That pistol has a magazine in it and it has not been safety checked (regardless of it being straight out of the box) and the muzzle was pointed towards the camera and the trigger was pulled several times ( I can see that the hammer is down, but that is not the point)..........that is how people get hurt...........SLOPPY GUN CONTROL !!
@mnieto311 Dude but seriously. It can be dangerous. Even if you know it is unloaded it is safe practice to check it. It is an instinct of mine every time I pick up a firearm I check and see if a round is chambered or if it loaded.
Brave little boy with your stupid comment when we are separated by the width of the Pacific Ocean, did you make the same or a similar comment to others who appear to agree with my comment........NO..........You didn't, just as you wouldn't say what you said to my face.
you did NOT just point that fucker at your head with your damn thumb on the trigger! i ought a slap you and take that damn pistol away from you, fool!!
voting down for safety. regardless of what you think.. a lot of people will see this. Maybe even some kids. And as gun owners we just need to always be doing things the right and safe way. all the time.
Did you have any problems with the screws changing out the grips? I've heard the studs can come out with the screws. I had that happen on a Colt. I just wondered if the Springfields were better in that regard. Thanks.
Someone with a buffing wheel can clean up that barrel top in a few seconds, jeweler, custom knife maker etc. They all come that way from the factory because they have to fit the lugs, they don't take the seconds it would take to clean up the marks as they should. But they can't keep up with production either. Selling like hotcakes.
The slides and frames on all Springfields made by IMBEL in BRAZIL are hot forged steel and the quality is second to NONE...even COLT. The problem with WW I era 1911s were that they would not retain accuracy after awhile due to the metal being too soft. A current Colt, Kimber, or Springfield are forged from better steel and hold their accuracy for years.
nice 1911 man.. looks real good.. but please .. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER AT ALL TIMES.. even if its not loaded.. thats a lesson i learned the hard way..
@silversniper22 I mean really? I know i get a lot of shit for this but damn the hammer is down. im more unsafe after getting shit faced popping off rounds in the back yard. After waking up in some strange place with the gun in my hand and all but 2 rounds left in the mag and one in the chamber.
@Hellsredeemer yeah, these g.i. reproductions all say made in brazil, i guess that why they can keep them so cheap. Dont pay more that $540 for this model. Look into para ordinance or Taurus as well.
@snowboarderbrton yeah thats a little much to pay, I saw a loaded model used in black stainless for 625.00. i paid 599.00 for mine in this video response, and it's the hi capacity 14+1. the loaded in black stainless is beautiful, its on gunbroker regular price 789.00.
you don't need sights on these, is that what you said.
I was going to swap out the sights on mine, but I painted the front sight blade, and it made a big difference. Try that before you change the sights. Once you change the sights, its not the GI anymore, it's the MIL-SPEC.
because springfield armory has an additional internal lock on the back if you look you can see two small holes for the key. I heard that the lock may cause some parts to malfunction.
wow you guys are making me feel so good, bought my stainless SA GI for $550 brand new. I have huge hands so i get hammerbite and need to upgrade the beavertail/hammer and use only 8rd. mags for the extra handle for my pinky to fit. But i LOVE it.!
i had that same gun great gun to shoot. remember you first safety is your finger and yours is all over that trigger all ways treat a fire arm as it was loaded even if you know it's not have fun bro wish i still had mine i got it for 560 new
Fuck dude seems I am not the only one in my area to have a hard time finding a lower priced 1911.. I live in so cali.. I bought a Firestorm 1911 today cant wait.. Those grips are nice !! Mine is the blued look and I kinda want black grips but the black on wood grips looks pretty clean to me.. If I had a stainless I would get some black grips like you did. Congrats on your 1911 dude !! I pick mine up on 1/14, I'm foaming at the mouth to get mine !!
No kidding, I use to shoot skeet comp there. I love that place just haven't been there in a long time. I'm a little north east of you then, I'm in Mckinney. Great choice in firearms I never leave home w/ out my Springfield 1911.
Hello, I have this same gun I think. Can you tell me more about this gun? Here are the specks Springfield 1911 A1 N3490665 Geneseo IL USA also stamped is Made in Brazil with a seal reading spingfield armory 1974. It too is stainless steel. This gun hits dead on at 25 yrds. I love it i just don't know about it and how much it might be worth. I also have the XD 40 but very different gun indeed. Love the 1911. thanks for any info.
Well it could not be from the orginal Springfield armory, they closed the doors in 1968, but the new Springfield Armory today was opend in 1974, so it could be one of there reproductions.
With a mag in there and finger on the trigger you point it at yourself. You are fucking retarded. I know its empty but still you are a dumb fuck.
