Another thing to note about the european dislike of the 1911... most armies practiced more one handed shooting of pistols. Even the US army often fired the Colt one handed. This made the colt's recoil substantially less comfortable. In personal experience, two handed grips on 1911s equals quite comfortable shooting.

I've fired several different weapons chambered in .45 ACP. Never found them to have massive recoil. The 10mm Auto kicked harder and that was in a Glock. .38 Super kicks harder than the .45 ACP. I'd love a double stack .45 ACP pistol with +P 160 grain solid copper hollow points. .38 Super or 10mm would also be awesome. Though I don't know if .38 Super double stacks well.

The .38 Special was also a common sidearm cartridge used by U.S. troops in WWI, with the Smith and Wesson Model 1905 being issued in large numbers.

The M1911 and M1911 A1 served as the standard u.s. issue sidearm till 1985 and is still in service with some specialized units today. The move to 9 x19 in the military world can be attributed to the belief that higher capacity and more shots down range was more important then stopping power per round while in the civilian world this also was an reason and due to the ability to use modern expanding defense ammunition the potential knock down power of a 9x19 and a.45 ACP becomes much closer.

Hayden Yes if I rember right 35 or there about. What I was talking about was the comment about the 45 acp being the best ever round made. It was one of the top for ww1. If I would have had the choice I would rather have the colt SAA in 45 colt instead. I do belive some officers were still using that firearm and round. I know Patton was still using his when he was in mexico with black jack. The bullet was a little heaver a little faster and still lead vs fmj.

If you want the best man rated stopper the 45 ant it. Its the 357 mag 125 gr jhp. And you can get revolvers that have 8 round capasity now.

While Norway did adopt the 1911 as our M1914, we didn't like the heavy recoil so went for a higher velocity 200 grain bullet instead of the US standard 230 grainer.

about the Philippines and the M1911 story. During the Philippine-American War the US fought the "Philippine Revolutionary Army". there were regular encounters and the Revolutionary Army of the Philippine gov't under General Emilio Aguinaldo fought the "regular way" combined with hit and run tactics, they were also composed of conscripts or volunteers who were mostly city guys(sons of merchants, intellectuals etc.) and rural townsfolk aka farmers. now the Americans had easy time suppressing and annihilating this kind of band of troops in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao due to their superior training, competent leadership and better equipment, organisation and knowledge/experience in conventional warfare but as soon they reached the frontier islands of the Phils or as we now call it the ARMM Region(Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) they were facing not just regular Filipino insurrectos but tribal Moro groups and this groups weren't city guys accustomed to developed city life. most were fishermen and farmers living in the undeveloped regions and islands which were mostly jungles that they knew well, they were fierce people and had a warrior tradition of some sorts. this warriors would sometimes get drugged up and function like Viking Berserkers and won't stop charging at you or falling back even if you managed to severely wound a lot of them. they functioned not like a regular army but more of a guerilla type preferring hit and run attacks and ambushes that's why the M1911 was designed with stopping power in mind.

Yay we survived with our spears!

Seriously guys, that thumbnail of Othias with the empty 1911 should be a poster or a t shirt lol. That cheeky grin is excellent. One more question, can I still get my August von Macinsocks from anywhere? I missed the run and I was hoping I could still get a pair. Awesome show guys, will we get a live episode on 11/11? All the great war people coming together for a V day episode would be great.

Feels odd to see Othais in video where he isn't feeding a whistle tater a blueberry now.

Can you do an episode of American shotguns, such as their effectiveness in trench warfare, the German reaction to that weapon and whether shotguns actually did provide a defense against in-bound thrown grenades?

kchishol1970 C&Rsenal did do an episode on the trench gun and tried shooting German grenades. I think Mae hit about half the time. Great episode!

Could be worse. Methane from bowels has nothing on mustard gas.

Im 100% in faver of lower caliber/bigger magazine/less recoil hand guns. But much praise to the 1911. I would carry it before i would any other 45 calibur pistol. (1911A1 anyway)

How big a deal with the introduction in the 1911 colt? Was it a game changer?

Old Colt New Army That's cool

Finally

Side note, Othais looks pretty badass in the thumbnail
