Les Baer Custom Boss 1911 review

This review of the Springfield Armory Garrison 1911 in 9mm highlights its performance at the range under cold conditions. The firearm demonstrated reliable function, particularly with lighter 9mm loads compared to a Sig M17. Accuracy was found to be comparable to a .45 ACP 1911, making it a solid choice for average shooters.

This comprehensive review of the HK MK23 SOCOM, presented by Garand Thumb, details its development for USSOCOM trials and its robust design. The video highlights its exceptional reliability under extreme conditions, accuracy potential (even at 300 yards), and unique stealth capabilities achieved through manual slide locking and 'wet shots' with its suppressor. Expert insights cover its .45 ACP caliber, dual recoil spring system, and the functionality of the Wilcox Nightstalker LAM.

This expert-level review compares the SIG Sauer P220 Compact Elite and the P220 Legion Full-Size, both chambered in .45 ACP with DA/SA actions. The P220 Legion showcases premium features like an enhanced trigger, Picatinny rail, and superior slide-to-frame fit, while the P220 Compact offers a more streamlined option for concealed carry. Trigger pull measurements and ammunition compatibility are also discussed, highlighting the P220 series' reputation for smooth actions.

This video details a negative personal experience with a Kimber Custom II 1911 in .45 ACP, citing frequent jamming issues. The speaker, an experienced firearm owner, ultimately traded the problematic Kimber for a Colt Government Competition Plus, highlighting a significant brand disappointment and a preference for Colt's reliability in this instance.

This video features Mr. Madness comparing two 1911 pistols in .45 ACP: a Kimber 'Wetlands Advocate' model with G10 grips and a Vortex red dot, and a Smith & Wesson 1911 with Crimson Trace laser grips. The review highlights the aesthetic differences and aftermarket accessories, inviting viewer preference.

This video features an authoritative speaker from 'Pro Gun 45' expressing a strong preference for the 1911 platform chambered in .45 ACP. The speaker considers other calibers in a 1911, such as 9mm, to be sacrilegious, with 10mm being the only other acceptable option. The visual evidence includes a banner with 'Pro Gun' and imagery of bullet casings, reinforcing the channel's focus.

This review of the Chiappa Rhino 40DS in .357 Magnum highlights its unique low bore axis design, which significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip, making follow-up shots easier. The reviewer, an experienced shooter, notes the smooth double-action trigger and effective fiber optic sights for daylight use. However, the review is titled 'Not Recommended' due to an unspecified 'trigger failure,' which is not detailed in the provided transcript segments.

This video provides an expert-level review of the top five revolvers, covering a range from compact concealed carry options to full-sized magnum revolvers. The host, demonstrating high authority, details the specific features, calibers, and intended uses of each firearm, including the Smith & Wesson M&P 340, Dan Wesson 715, S&W 629 Classic, S&W Model 66 Combat Magnum, and the top-ranked S&W 686 Plus. The review highlights key technical aspects like frame sizes, barrel lengths, and capacity, offering valuable insights for firearm enthusiasts.

This review tests the DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System on a Beretta 96 Inox in .40 S&W. While the system is compatible with Beretta 92, 96, and 98 models, the felt recoil reduction is subtle. Initial testing showed a failure to feed, possibly due to limp-wristing or break-in, but reliability improved with extended use. The speaker concludes the DPM system is a quality option for Beretta 96 .40 S&W owners, though the 9mm Beretta 92 remains a smoother shooter.

The SIG Sauer P226 Legion is presented as a premium 9mm handgun with notable upgrades like G10 grips, tritium night sights, and a custom Grayguns trigger. While generally performing well with an exceptionally smooth DA/SA trigger and short reset, a single failure to extract was observed, attributed to a light-loaded round. The MSRP of $1099 is considered good value for the included enhancements.
