SHOT Show 2023 Day 4 (Pt. 2)

This video features a comparison of five different 1911 pistols, including a brand-new Dan Wesson Specialist, a WWII-era Remington Rand, a used SIG Sauer GSR, a Kimber Classic Lightweight, and a Colt Series 70 Gold Cup National Match. The participants, including a firearms instructor and a beginner shooter, provide their impressions on handling, recoil, trigger feel, and accuracy. While all guns performed reasonably well, the Dan Wesson Specialist and the SIG Sauer GSR were highlighted for their performance and feel.

Roger from QVO Tactical reviews the Springfield Armory SA-35, a 4-inch 1911-style pistol with classic aesthetics. He notes its brown walnut grips, blue steel finish, and factory iron sights. While the trigger is decent and the brake is appreciated, he finds the reset to be a bit long, attributing it to the gun's old-school design. He also showcases a custom holster designed to match the SA-35's vintage look, featuring adjustable Kydex retention with an old-school leatherette fabric overlay option.

This video features a review and range test of the Rock Island Armory (RIA) 1911 pistol. The host discusses its aesthetics, including the grips and coloring, and compares it to other 1911 models. Shooting impressions highlight its feel, accuracy, and the effectiveness of its VZ grips. The video also touches on the historical significance and accessibility of 1911 platforms.

This review highlights the Carabao J 1911, a high-end custom firearm chambered in .45 ACP. The presenter emphasizes its luxurious materials, precision CNC machining, and advanced technology, comparing it to aircraft-grade components. The firearm is noted for its exceptionally smooth recoil and premium feel, positioning it as a status symbol and a collector's item for those with discerning taste and significant financial means.

The Dan Wesson DWX is presented as a hybrid firearm, blending the ergonomic, low-bore-axis characteristics of the CZ Shadow 2 with the performance and trigger of a 1911 platform. It offers a full steel frame for stability, a single-action-only trigger around 3 lbs, and a double-stack capacity of 18-19 rounds. The design aims for a balance of speed and control, making it suitable for dynamic shooting without feeling uncontrollable.

This video explores the rising popularity of 2011-style handguns, which offer increased capacity and modern features while retaining the classic single-action trigger of the 1911. The discussion highlights their availability in various calibers, optic-ready configurations, and safety features like ambidextrous external safeties and backstrap safeties. While acknowledging their appeal for range use and as an upgrade from traditional 1911s, the presenters note that the wider grip may not suit all hand sizes.
