The roll marks on the slide are the reproduction of the original, and it’s a rampant horse not a prancing horse. The broken spear in the horse represents the fallen rider, and the horse took up the battle! As described by COLT to me in the smithing school!

Rampant pony not horse lol

Colt has been going a little crazy grinding on the frames, they have been leaving the sides of the mainspring housing proud by an 1/8 inch, you won’t notice it on an arched mainspring housing as much as a flat one, it’s a small detail but it just shows that “Quality CAN make it a Colt” If they could just get the quality consistent

When I get a Colt with a Plastic MSH, I change it out. They are $45+ now but I still change them. It's a "Rampant Colt", not a "Prancing Pony", although some folks like to call it the "Hartford horsey" as well.

I have several colts and all have been very reliable and accurate.

Glad you warned us about the plastic mainspring housing.

This is my personal favorite looking gun. Great video.

I have one and its my new favorite! It shoots as well as it looks!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful Colt !!

I really dont understand for the price they would give this a plastic part

It’s actually smoother on the spring and the Colt plastic part will not rust if you carry it. 10-8 also sells an aluminum one which weighs the same as the plastic one and is smooth on the spring channel.

Die Colt Classic Goverment 1911 ist mit Abstand die schönste Automatik Pistole der Welt! Nur gefolgt von der Luger 08 ,danach der ganze Rest. ❤ herzlichen Dank für dieses Video, sehr intressanter und informativer Beitrag.

Bought the O1911 two years ago. I agree with you, this is an outstanding pistol for the money. I do not like the laser engraving because it is not smooth like roll marking but that’s how they are all made these days. The short trigger should have an arched main spring housing. And yes, plastic is no good. Evolution Gun Works is 30 minutes from me and I bought my arched main spring housing there. Really dresses the gun up nice. Good video.

Superb item you got! Really looking vintage. I'm still amazed of how relevant the 1911 is nowadays! Just wish Colt will reissue some with non-lowered ejection port, just a preference he he he...

They have with the 100 & 120 anniversary models down to the sights. The way it is now it's the least out of most American mil spec's!!

Love a Government Model, and still love a Colt. I agree with you, that's a good looking sidearm! I also agree that I don't care for the MSH being made of plastic, and I'll go one step further and say that I don't like that it's flat! The traditional MSH on a GM (since 1924, and the advent of the 1911-A1) has been arched. And, having tried both, it's the profile that I prefer. YMMV

I agree 👍 💯 however I own 2 of the Classics and I did a pree 1924 flat knurled and a post in arched with a lanyard loop. I also replaced the trigger with a period correct short trigger & fine tuned the action and lubed everything up. Polishing the trigger bow really makes it smoother

Inadmisible piezas de plástico en la pistola más icónica de todos los tiempos!!.. se debe respetar el legado de la 1911.

Correctly cut angle on a feed ramp is all a 1911 needs to feed properly, polishing it does next to nothing to fix an incorrect angle on a feed ramp and there’s too much risk you’ll destroy a frame by polishing best left to a competent smith

So did Colt change the name of the Classic back to government model essentially!!?? I have 2 of them one during the pandemic and one in 22 when CZ took over. I got robbed as mine are both 7 rd capacity not 8 . I think Colt should change the roll marks back to the original like the new pistol that just came out with the GI nub safety and novack sites that don't make sense! I don't understand why Colt puts nylon mainspring housing's and triggers on the base model!! Their not saving money because Springfield Armory mil spec comes with all metal parts and 3 dot sights and 2 extra mags and extra blk grips for 640!!

Cool 👍

what differences between this model and a mark iV series 70? thanks

Great video Sir! 👌🏻 please if you know…where can I get it?!

Just bought one couldn't put magazine in until lubed it well...

Find a WWII lanyard mainspring housing for it, clean it up, re blue, try it out. In this day and age, all barrels should be national match.maybe replace the front sight for a stake in with gold dot insert

Did that with mine and it looks like it came from the factory that way. Can easily be done buying on eBay and cerakoting/alumahyde coating correctly

Hi, do you know if it is factory calibrated at 25 yards with top of front sigth aiming to center of mass or 6 o´ clock, first or second intersection point of parabola with line of sigth? The specification is with 230 grains bullet. I can´t find this information in manuals nor Internet. Thanks.

I have one no comparison to the original one that's made in usa is the best hard to find the original American made

Hello. Is drop safe? Thank you

For $900 there should be zero plastic parts. Leave it to Colt to go cheap. I might as well buy a Tisas for almost half the price.

There is no beaver tail on that pistol. It's a standard grip safety. Please people learn the correct terminology.

It's not a "modern" pistol. Basic marksmanship skills should solve any perceived shortcomings you'd experience with the Colt's capacity because it's not because it's not accurate. That of course doesn't mean that you (no ambiguity here, I mean "you") could hit anything with it.
