@mixflip I believe it may have been a colt 1911 that kylewing34 has described. See this video /watch?v=RuNIZd0dwjs&feature=relmfu. If you look closely at the slide it actually says 1897.
i may know someone with one it has no serial number wooden grip says patened 1897 it has a horse with 2 line things through it but absolutely no circle around it...it is model 1911 he would like to know if he needs to have any papers/registration for it and how much it is worth???
@legopercyjacksonfan1 Actually the 1911 was replaced by the Beretta M9 in the mid 1980's as far as a standard issue handgun. I know because I qualified on a 1911 in boot camp in 1989 then was issued a Beretta M9 in 1990 when I got to my 1st Marine Corps unit. I know the MARSOC 1911 is still used but its only for special ops units, not regular issue. So I guess we are technically both correct lol.
@mixflip from what I hear, most guys that were in the service during the transition did not want to switch over....I've shot both, and I fully understand why...the 1911 is better is most ways...The only thing the beretta has on it is capacity....but how much that matters varies from person to person
@theroyalgrapefruit Us Americans wish we could take home our Army issued rifles like you guys get to do. I heard that Switzerland has the highest personal firearms ownership in Europe and coincidentally you also have the least amount of violent criminals? I guess this is a perfect example of how gun freedoms work. I'd love to visit Europe some day before I die.
@mixflip World wide Switzerland is the number 4 in Firearms per person but same time has one of the lowest amounts of criminals. England is the contrary where the violence takes over and its more difficult to get legal firearms. In switzerland EVERY man who is 20 Years old must go to die army when he is physicaly able to go. And not everybody is happy to go. And not EVERYBODY should have a full auto rifle at home, because bad things can happen.
@theroyalgrapefruit Well to be honest I agree. Not everyone should have a full auto machine gun at home. Idiots exist everywhere especially in America lol. What I envy is that you can buy or own a machine gun fairly easy compared to us Americans. I just saw an M16 in a gun store yesterday for $15,000 USD. Thats ridiculous. If you are mentally stable and have a clean criminal record we should not be restricted. We are the certified good guys. We need to restrict the criminal and mentally ill.
@USSWISCONSIN64 Did I say autistic people cant have guns? Gun ownership takes is a serious responsibility. Its not a joke or a game. One foolish decision can get you or someone else killed. There are lots of people who have a habit of making poor life decisions and I dont like the idea of any of them owning a gun. Thats my opinion and I have a right to my opinion. I guess you want blind people to be allowed to get their commercial pilots license too? Mentally ill+guns dont mix.
@TheLargecars Wow I have never heard of the 1 to 15 scale lol. Usually its 1 to 10? Just teasing you bro. I'd have to rate the Colt at about a 8 or 9 (1 to 10 scale) as far as accuracy goes just because high quality 1911's like this one have a smooth crisp predictable 3 to 4 lb trigger break and a great grip angle. It also depends on the sights. The USGI WWII sights sucked but modern target sights are awesome. Sight radius also is important. Full sized 1911 have a long sight radius
@supahdick5 Colt manufactured the 1911, so the "original" is the Colt, but not many say m1911 just 1911, BUT there is a different between the m1911 and m1911A1 the A1 have a longer trigger and a bulkier mainspring housing. Mrcolt45acp here a link to one of it!
@D1sAsT1R Actually they stopped using the 1911 in the general military in 1986 and issued the Beretta M9 so that makes it short of 100 years. Now I know they still use the 1911 MEU-SOC with special operations capable Marines but they are not the general military. They are special ops that can pick and choose what they want to carry while a regular soldier/Marine cant choose so the regular guy gets issued a 9mm M9...not a 1911 sadly.
@mixflip the 1911 being replaced was a good example of stupid decision making up in the whitehouse, the 1911 is americas ak, they shouldnt have replaced it :(
@boogieairsoft It was strategic. Itally said if you guys want to setup missile in Italy you have to give Italy's GDP a huge boost by giving Beretta the next billion dollar firearms contract. Plus the military was already annoyed with NATA not carrying 45acp anywhere in the world so logistically going with a NATO 9mm just made sense to the bean counters. 1911's are awesome but their biggest weakness is the 8 round capacity. Thats probably why 45's by Glock & Sig are so popular. More bullets?
@mixflip haha i knew none of that :L but thanks for the facts, and yh the 8 rounds kinda suck, although i think that if your packing 9mm then you should go with the p228 of the p99, they have a better feel but yh i guess your right , and also have your shot the makarov pistol???
@TheOl1911 Yeah I dont know why he had them blacked out? I was thinking maybe the white dot had fallen out maybe? I didnt ask. The dot fell out of my front sight on my M&P40 so maybe thats what happened Mikes 1911?
