Shooting History: 1913 Production Colt 1911 – Old Gun Review

{ 32 comments }

The final design of the 1911 really came about from a series of trials that the US Government put it and other pistols through. These tests let Colt and John Browning see how the pistol held up. There were also requirements that the design had to meet. A lot of the credit for how the 1911 came out can be attributed to the trials and specifications required for the new pistol.

When we, and I mean we as I include myself in this statement, think of US Military small arms it does not usually include a shotgun. When we think of the great American fighting arms of the past we have visions of the 1911, M1 Garand, M-16, 1903 Springfield and probably even a Bazooka before we picture the lowly scatter gun. So lets take a quick look through history and into the present at the shotguns that have served our men and women in uniform.

Legend has it that John Moses made the first prototype of the Vest Pocket to carry in his, you guested it, vest pocket while walking around on this land in Utah. He supposedly wanted a tiny pistol for defense against coyotes. True or not, Browning did design a great little pistol that will fit in a vest pocket.

The H&K VP9 is almost perfect. Almost. The rear sight works fine for shooting, but not for one-handed manipulation. Meprolight can fix that. Their True-Dot sights are ideal for those situations we all hope to avoid, and they have tritium inserts, too.

{ 13 comments }

From a distance, the Burris AR-1X is just another red dot sight wrapped up in a different look, however that would be the incorrect assumption. This Burris AR-1X has features which make me feel that this may be one of the better red dots on the market. And it isn’t going to break the bank.
