 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. You are looking at a one-of-a-kind 1911 color case hardened. Now every color case hardened firearm is a one-of-a-kind. It cannot be duplicated because the process of color case hardened involves putting this in a furnace with charcoal and bone and it comes out with splashes of purple and gray and bronze and it cannot be duplicated and if you check that out you probably have never seen a 1911. This color case hardened anyways I think it is really special very different it's made by standard manufacturing it's called standard 1911 color case hardened and here it is. I love the one-of-a-kind look I love something that's different you know there's not too much you could change with the 1911 while keeping the the platform that's been around for over a hundred years people love it I love it and this is super cool it does come with two seven round magazines the grips are double diamond checkered all right you check that out right there once again we'll take a look at the finish itself it does have a clear coat over the the metal in the frame okay so it's rather smooth but it is I think super special check out this side I think that looks great a lot of purple and gray on this side but if you go with this it'll come in this big old case right here and in the case it comes with this this sock if you will I don't know it's this bag nice bag here a silicone cloth and additional mag lock paperwork and everything else standard 1911 that is anything but standard it has a GI style guide rod in there so if I lock the slide back you'll see you won't see a guide rod like a full length guide rod because it has the GI style the trigger which is so amazing I love 1911 triggers this is not skeletonized at all you can see it does have a skeletonized hammer the website says four and a half pounds and I am measuring it at four and a half pounds and this right here is what I love that short reset is just amazing and it it's it's a 70 series so it's super crisp as well three dot sights you can see that ramped up rear sights front dot I know it's going to be extremely accurate beautiful looking and I'm sure a beautiful shooting 1911 I've been out to the range yet but this thing is unique in every way it does have the rear serrations no forward serrations a five inch match grade barrel and that look to it check out that front strap heavily textured and of course the whole frame and slide goes into that furnace for that color case hardened look which makes this a one of a kind 1911 people do so much to make their 1911's a one of a kind and this certainly is the only one in this class that's going to look like this because it's color case hardened it's just very unique 45 ACP can't go wrong with that now if you look at that thumb safety you can see that it's a deep color blue looks real sharp as well as the slide stop pen but it is really something this is not a cheap 1911 there's a lot of work that went into it and then when you color case harden you actually strengthen the metal it becomes very strong not only does it give this look that so many people love but it also strengthens the metal so you know it it's heavy-duty no doubt about it let me go ahead and tear it down we'll take a look at the internals and there's what the metal looks like high polished and over here without it being polished all right we can look at the inside of the frame there check that out I mentioned the GI style guide rod right there and your five inch match grade barrel and the slide stop pen I don't know if you could see earlier but it was or it is very deep blue as well as the thumb safety if you love color case hardened and you love 1911's check this out it is very cool but I have a feeling it's a shooter as well you can see that it does have the standard manufacturing logo right there says 1911 a 145 auto but I'm going to get this to the range shortly I can't wait because not only do I love 1911's I love beautiful 1911's and I think this thing is going to be a sharp shooter so look forward to that I can't wait and I'll certainly bring you along for the ride if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
