Perfection before Glock - The M1911

InRange is supported by viewers like you and every $1 helps!   / inrangetv   The M1911 was adopted by the US Army in 1911 and was not officially replaced until 1986. It went through only one "major" upgrade to the 1911A1, and those changes were actually quite minor. What's even more amazing is how little the accessories changed for near 100 years as well. In this video we take a look at the evolution of the military 1911 as a holistic platform. Errata: The ejection port is not generally larger on the M1911A1, that is a commercial modification that became common. I will edit that out of the video when I am able to.
