Thank you, Mr. Nutnfancy!

Matthew Erlich

A 1911 review from Nutn?! SWEET! Happy to see Slam in the background, too. Hope the Nutnfancy family is recovering well from the sweet and sour sniffles! Love and prayers from Texas.

Hugh Amlett

I love value, but that smooth front strap is too much "value" for me. Great review as usual, glad to see Last Suspect shooting with you

Andy M

I bought this same gun in 2016. No complaints with it.

Rho

I’ve only ever seen people open carry 1911s. One time in Moab arches national park, It was a SIG 1911, I know because it was literally the same as mine. Then in Texas almost every time I stop at a Buccees There is someone open carrying a 1911. Oh and Living around Colorado Springs and Manitou out on the trails especially in the mountains I’ve seen some people carry 1911s.

RowdyRon

Excellent review. Nice eye-candy on the table. Thanks Nutn!

Sheepdog

10mm version sounds interesting.

Benson Huntley

I have a kinda soft spot for 1911 guns. It was the 1st handgun I ever used. It was a standard issue weapon for the first 3 years in the Army. Then we got the slide cracking version of Berretta 92. I won a Command General's Cup at Ft. Polk with a standard armory 1911. I do EDC a Glock 43 but I would not be afraid to run a high quality 1911. That is just my 2 cents.

Adam Boyd

Would you use one of these in 10mm for hunting or for protection in bear country?

David and Elizabeth

First handgun I owned was a Colt Government Model made in the 1940s. It was given to me when I was a teenager by, get this,...my Grandma! It was given to her by her father/my Great Grandpa who I'm named after when she left for college. Of course I still have it. Have heard nothing but good things about the Ruger 1911s. On another interesting side note, I literally just sold a Springfield Loaded Stainless 1911 with 3,000 rounds of ammo included less than 24 hrs ago. Buy low, sell high! Like you, Nutn, we feel 1911s are a riot to shoot and haves a ton of second cool but we'd never incorporate one into any "serious" system of ours. Only recreational. 👨‍👩‍👧❤

Matt

Picked one up last year at Academy Sports on sale for sub $650. An absolute steal, easily my favorite handgun to shoot.

Sanguine Potato

I have an SR1911 in 10mm. Great platform for the cartridge, the weight really tames the recoil from the hotter rounds. Basically equal to a .357 mag revolver but with more rounds and I can shoot it more accurately.

Tygre

In these days of the Ammogeddon Cov-idiocy, when all I see for sale anywhere is FMJ pistol ammo, I feel good that I held onto my .45s, since all the 9mm trick bullets are so scarce. If I didn't have a little stockpile, I'd be breaking out old slab-sides right about now; I just have more confidence in the .45 if we're talking ball ammo only.

I went and got a tattoo in Stl while the brown riots where goin on, and my tattoo artist was legit carrying a full size .45acp 1911 Iwb @5oclock on him. I was like damn dude. He said he updated his carry because the rioters had been smashing windows and stealing so yea. First time I'd seen a full size 1911 carried.

Love the look of the pic rail and front serrations on that SW1911.

Mike S

Looking forward to finally hearing a review on the Ruger SR1911. Seems to be an overlooked 1911 pistol.

The Nutnfancy Project

They sure are fun to shoot and great competition choices as you note. Thanks for the story Benson!

The Nutnfancy Project

Either could be good. I'd much rather use a Glock 20 for either use though. Much lighter and very accurate. I still carry a Glock 20 frequently.

The Nutnfancy Project

"Like you, Nutn, we feel 1911s are a riot to shoot and haves a ton of second cool but we'd never incorporate one into any "serious" system of ours. Only recreational." Yep, that's how it is for me. Great job making money of that Springfield. It's A OK to sell your guns and as we all know with Biden coming in, we will have all done it soon enough. ;-0

The Nutnfancy Project

I bet it's one of the better 10mm 1911s out there esp. in terms of value. I remembered we tested that very expensive 10mm Coonan 1911 here and it was a fail.

The Nutnfancy Project

"I just have more confidence in the .45 if we're talking ball ammo only." I totally agree with that. Ball ammo in .45 ACP is a proven man stopper. I would feel very under armed with 9mm FMJ!

The Nutnfancy Project

That dude is armed and he's got style! Glad to see Patriots arming up with VPA action.

The Nutnfancy Project

has some cool looks. Our first railed 1911 was that Taurus we reviewed in '09 [Doddle still has it] and we thought that's the way all 1911 pic rails looks [bulky]. When we got the S&Ws are eyes were opened, esp. after using them in drills. Great guns.

The Nutnfancy Project

It does. I think it broke out pretty loudly in the market and then simmered down very quickly. I would totally own one; this one however was returned to Handgun Haven.

Maxreverse

Own it. Highly recommend it to friends that are interested in purchasing a first 1911. Great review Nutn. I feel smarter.

Great review! I also have several 1911s in the stable but they're not my "go to" pieces. I did carry a SA Light Weight Compact (4" bbl) for about a year early on as my CCW before switching to a Khar CW9. SA doesn't make that model anymore which is a shame because w/ the aluminum frame and accuracy (tac driver!) it was a great carry piece. BUT, it would only reliably shoot ball ammo or very ball-like HPs (Remington Ultimate Defense). That's part of the reason I switched to the Khar. Thanks for the awesome content! It was great to see Last Suspect helping you with the testing!! Semper Paratus!

Derek W Tiller

that was a bit of a Ferris Bueller's Day Off ending😆

Angry D

During the winter months I still edc a 1911 but its a 10mm. Guess that makes me a dinosaur around here but what can I say it makes me happy

TC Connor

Wait...wait T-28 Trojan? 🤣

Chris Stookey

GREAT video, Nutn! I've had an SR1911 for a long time. GREAT super high value 1911. And this is coming from a guy with a Les Baer and a couple of Wilsons.

BRIAN J ANDERSON

1911/45 is just plain fun! 2nd Cool, Historical. Being on the receiving end of it is not to be triffled with!!

DuginIN

I have a PRG600Y in my rotation. It lacks atomic but the BSD makes up for it.

OpFor

We got an SR1911 commander in 9mm for my mother and its one of the softest shooting full power handguns I have handled.

Beau Dantin

Bought one almost exactly 5 years ago and love it. Such a great and accurate gun. Very reliable. Feels and looks more expensive than it was. I do wish the front of the grip was textured and even though the stock grips are pretty the have some wiggle and little traction. I’ve never regretted the purchase though. Thank Nutn for the review.

Kinoons

Sledgehammer? Eat lead? Trench warfare? Yes, yes, and yes!

J Ram

Thanks for making me feel smart Colonel!! I own the Commander version in .45 ACP and love it for all the second cool aspects you mentioned, and it really does shoot great/accurately. I've had mine for around 3yrs now and have over 500rds through it and I haven't had one jam so far. It's basically my bbq gun that I wear occasionally with a fancy custom leather holster I have for it...and occasionally when I have RSO duty in the warmer months. It's a great gun!!

Andrettski

I don't own a 1911 yet but 10mm might be the direction I would go, especially if I end up getting the Ruger GP100 revolver in 10mm. I'm considering this because of legislation coming at us that will limit round capacity for carry or everything!?

Andrettski

Oh Nutn, you know the Ruger R&D/customer feedback departments close the doors pull the blinds and have a pow-wow, and say "So what did everyone think of TNP's review on our SR1911"? And all other manufactures too for that matter, because if not, they're just scared of the truth. Thanks for the GRV.

Lon N

Always up for 1911 festivities! Thanks for the GRV. An Officer size 1911 is indeed a different animal to carry. Not a bunch tougher to conceal than a EC9s other than a little more weight for a significant upgrade in firepower.

Pete E.

It’s a rare day when I can out i.d. you on an aircraft. But today is a rare day. The model is a T-6, not a T-28. The T-28 is a trike gear, the T-6 is a taildragger. The T-28 has a 3 bladed prop, the T-6 has a 2 blade. Then there is the canopy difference, wing shape, etc.

Jacob Leage

Sledgehammer? Eat Lead? YES!

MCatl

Great video. Watched it all the way to the end... I think. ; )

DACampbell

Great tp get a 1911 review and a nice OTB pistol from Ruger.

Foghorn

I've had the "commander" version for a while and really enjoy it. Picked up a few CM 8 round mags... Love how smooth it is to shoot.. Love my Boker too!!

Mike S

Yeah, the SR1911 was there and then it seemed like it disappeared from public perception.

Kenneth Herrera

Would be stoked to see some trench warfare

Daniel Herb

"that's all I have.... I'm really done now" hahahha

Marion Martin

Thanks for this review. I own a SR1911 and I agree with everything you said. Love your table top reviews. Always have.,
