Yes, sir. Thank God for John Moses Browning.

Browning basically designed the framework of the guns we all know and love today. He was a fuckin genius. I love his weapons!

John Browning, God's second Moses.

John Moses Browning's father was Jonathan Browning, who was originally from Tennessee, and was a gunsmith. One may visit the restored (to its original condition) shop of Jonathan Browning each summer in Nauvoo, Illinois. John Moses learned a lot from his father.

A lot of people don't know that. I visited there when they were restoring the house in the 70s. I grew up in Morgan, Utah, so seeing that particular house was important for me. His father made some interesting guns - several that failed in the sales realm, but had parts and mechanisms that were used on later guns. There is a Browning museum in Ogden, Utah in the old train station - also worth a visit.

Great job Wilson.....Thx. Bob Jagodzinski

Thank you sir for your informative video, and thanks for John Browning for his great inventors. Respects

Glad you enjoyed it

I just found your channel. Great video, I just subscribed. Thank you very much!

Joesneon wasn't kidding. You Sir know your stuff. Great job. Gonna watch more from your channel.

I have a model 1911 in 9 mm but I love it and wouldn't even think of selling it. It's the colt combat commander. Loved your video .

Wow! What a great episode!!!!! Love the antiques!!!!

My friend joesneon suggested your channel to me and I'm glad he did. Thanks for a well done video and looking forward to many more!

Was talking to my buddy Joe on the phone the other night and he turned me on to your channel, and he was correct in the fact that you definitely have the gift of gab necessary to be as comfortable in front of the camera as you are !....Nice job on the vids and i'll add you on my recommended channels list on my channel, hopefully it helps you get noticed.

Thank you. Great video

Came to your channel from Joesneon. I've watched all the videos and enjoyed them very much. Joe was not exaggerating about how good your channel is. I particularly liked this video. Looking forward to the next one. Subscribed

Wow, these are some great old guns. I have a beat up old parkerized series 80, but it shoots great and I love it. Able to be completely disassembled with no tools, only a cartridge. Browning was an effin' genius.

+Cragdwella Peace? You must be from the 60's or just a great person in general. Thanks for watching. Spread the word.

The third one was a custom bowling pin gun. The second one is an A1 frame with an original 1911 slide. Another change on the A1 was the cocking serrations were angled.

Enjoyed all of your videos and subscribed at least! Good job on explaining! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from berlin germany. ....Joe send me over.

Actually during the Indian Wars the first cartridge type of pistol was the Colt SSA in the 45 LC and was used in many of the Old West movies like Gunsmoke, and many others.

Beautiful postols

You put out some fantastic information! I love old guns, although I have not yet had the opportunity to shoot a 1911 I hope to get my hands on one someday.

I know this is 7 years old, but check out tisas. They’re affordable and offer several 1911s

at 9:56, "Before I pick this up, Adam, I'm gonna just clear that ..." Good luck with that!

JMB is up there with the guy that invented the wheel

John Browning literally cost me tens of thousands of dollars.

Well you can purchase less expensive guns

Everyone forgets his brother Edward, he was a top notch gunsmith who worked the bugs out of John’s designs, but didn’t get credit because everyone has on blinders…

Joe also sent me over nice channel !

Amen, brother.It's always been my pistol. If you want to argue that there are other pistols that are better, I can only say, "Fine, but the 1911 is good a fuckin' 'nuff."

I’m a big fan of the 1911/A1 and i myself carry a 1911A1 made by Tisas

Thanks for sharing. Never heard of the STI before. What does STI stand for if you know?

I love John m browning guns ;)

Man i want that all original one with the holster.. To bad i cant find one like that :(

Love his middle name (Moses) took us all to the promised land!

The second gun you showed was probably a transition piece - meaning it had the 1911A1 modifications but with a 1911 slide. That's why the slide says "Model of 1911"

I’m curious. Why did Singer rev up to produce the Model 1911 and only make 500?

I’m certainly in a very small minority, but I think that those1911s are Colts isn’t important. We should call all 1911s Browning 1911s, or some such term. Browning hitched his wagon to Colt to get his masterpiece built and accepted by the US Army. Similarly, JMB’s wonderful design could have put any firearms manufacturer in a leadership position. Unfortunately, Colt was the only going concern that was able to manufacture the firearm. Serendipity for both. Today, many shooters think Colt is the only game in town. However, Springfield, Kimber, Nighthawk, Wilson Combat, plus many others will give Colt firearms a good run for their money. I have a Colt 1911A1. Other than it’s history, it isn’t anything special. Poor sights, poor trigger on a former combat weapon, that it.

He Made damn fine firearms made to last no cheap crap inside just take apart a Browning A5 shotgun quality made

Yes, from the sixties ! (1961) really "Dig" your video's LOL !

Is John Browning the inventor of the tilting barrel design that's still used in modern handguns today?

Dear Adam, please don't quit your day job.

Not $50 k In December 2017, a Singer 1911 sold at auction for an eye-popping , one of the highest prices ever paid at auction for a handgun!! insane

ive seen a1s going for 3k nowadays and nowhere near that condition

Do any of you know of anything designed app. 100 yag that technology has not improved.Waiting list still on many custom 1911s.I believe Browning, as far as simplicity of function and design has no match in any area.What exist today and is still considered top of the line in design?

Browning had a simple rule, and I'm bastardizing here. Make it as simple and rugged as it needs to be, then make it stronger.

jmb would laugh @ "genius" (though we won't); it was just common sense to him lol also, pistol #1, the ww1 1911 with the diamond checkered grip & 2 tone mags is just SEXY

What do you mean? Designed a gun that after more than 100 yr is still basically the same gun and some of the first ones made are still being shot today not to mention everyone under the sun are making copies of it . Genius! Not meant as a putdown because I own, shot and enjoy some of them but will the polymer guns be able to do the same?

I've fired the 1911 and the Browning Hi Power. The Hi Power is far superior.

Alec Baldwin should watch those proper handling a firearm even if u 100% it’s ok do it urself dbl check triple that people see you done it as if haven’t seen it or done it never happened THANK YOU great video

I will stick with my 1901 pump shotgun.

You didn't hold the 1911 right for your viewers to read what you tried to show us!!

If John Browning made the 1911, carroll shelby invented the mustang. Look up the story, he took 9 years to make just a few tweaks from the Colt 1900. It wasn't his fault really but he added a few things, he did not sit down with a blank page and design it.

Actually JMB did sit down and design and invent the 1911.... And the 1900, the 1902 sporting and military, the 1903 hammerless, the 1903 hammer, the 1905, the 1908 vest pocket, and every version in-between such as the versions produced by FN and Husqvarna. He even designed the Hipower. So I'm not sure what story you're talking about, but those are the facts.
