Colt's Model 1911 .45 ACP Pistol Early Design Changes

The first production Colt Model 1911's were not perfect. There were several small changes requested by the Ordnance Dept and Springfield Armory.
Join me as I take a look at some of the changes that took place prior to World War I with this beautiful example of an early Model of 1911 United States Navy issue (Assembled in April, 1912)

Great video as usual! You explain the history and designs of all these pistols very well and IMO, better than the guy from the NRA museum on Curator's Corner.

@nick10463 mr hollywood HD critic! you probably want 3D! MrColt has made an informational video, quite well done and spoken eloquently. i watched it at 360 and it was fine, get your head out of your ass and scrape the shit from your eyes.

It's hard to believe that pistol there is that old. What great shape. Your vids are some of my favorites. Your 1911 knowledge very impressive.
