Girsan 1911 10mm Long Slide. First Impressions 

Definitely a good purchase.... I have 4 EAA pistols all super reliable!! Never had a problem with any.

In Oregon as well, I have my FFL on the coast searching for this firearm... Need the 114 complient magazine it uses to pair with the 44 magnum... When the law limits mag size, only solution, go up in caliber....

i fixed the stiff trigger problem with my girsan 10mm!! it was the sear spring, the middle "tongue" was to far bent forward towards the gun giving it a 7.5lb trigger pull. adjusted it down to 4.5LB on my trigger gauge! i love it!

I just bought one, and took it home today! I got the black finish. I haven't shot it yet, but so far very impressed with the quality of workmanship.

Picked up the full stainless 10mm. Thankfully, according to my trigger scale, 4.6-5lbs. Super clean break. Reset it really short. I’ve just recently gotten into 10mm. It’s quickly becoming my favorite cartridge.

Work the trigger over and ditch that ambi safety. Thanks for the video. Convinced me to grab one.

Good review, I'm glad that you mentioned it has a supported barrel

I'm waiting to hear from my guy on the Witness 2311 long slide double stack version. Almost impossible to find right now. Will be worth the wait though, I'm sure. Good honest review, bro.

I just saw this at Sportsman’s Warehouse in green. I can’t wait to shoot one.

I got the black hunter, which came with the blacked out front sight. But then I found the green one at Sportsman’s, which came with the fiber optic front sight. Girsan may have done a special batch for Sportsman’s. Both guns are awesome.

From what I have seen its the grip safety that makes the trigger seem heavy. If you don't really push the grip safety in all the way it hangs up a bit. Hopefully can be fixed by bending the leaf spring a little.

I really want one of these!! Good video!!

I recently purchased the desert tan hunter model. I put a green dot on mine. Now I just need to find out how to do a trigger job so I can get it down in the 2.5 to 3.5lb area.

Does this handle the hot stuff, original Norma loads, Underwood ammo and buffalo bore ammo?

⁠nice i’ve had to do that to to speed up the break in process. great guns on a budget. they do pretty good at girsan.

Appreciate your review on this. I've seen some good prices on these, and I've been wanting a long slide 10mm 1911 for hog hunting. I'm a huge trigger snob, though. Some reviews greatly applaud this trigger, but some make it seem to not be great. They had a few on display at a local shop, but they have trigger locks and won't let you test the trigger. Annoying. Can't decide if I wanna save the money on one of these, or just spend the money and get something like a Dan Wesson Kodiak. I'd end up having the slide milled for an optic, not huge on the idea of spending 2 and a half racks on a Dan Wesson and immediately have someone start grinding away on the slide lol. Need more optics ready long slide 10mms! Girsan has the Witness 2311 coming out soon, interested to see how that plays out.

Just bought one because of the Washington BS going on and I was scared to put off buy a gun . Bought the mc1911S

I’m getting one of these once my taxes come back 👌 the wife’s gonna enjoy the tax money since I’m buying her a CZ P07 9MM 😂

Has the trigger improved with use? Thanks, good review.

Where did you find a green one to buy? All I see are black or FDE. Thanks!

Is it a Ceracote or Enamel Finish? A lot of the knock-offs don’t use Ceramic coatings.

I prefer the fiber optic front sight your pistol has. The same model I purchased a couple of weeks ago came with a black iron front sight. Not sure why. Maybe a different batch.

all my ambi’d on my some of my high end 1911’s have some play too

Fantastic review

I would prefer a Tanfoglio Witness or Colt Delta Elite but don't want to spend $1300 - $1600 on a pistol. I already have a Glock 20 Gen 3. The Girsan has a military trigger. They tend to be heavy.

114 is suspended based on restraining order. Buy early and often

Nice review!

114 hasnt been fully implemented yet we are still in the clear for now

isn't dry firing a 1911 hardon the hammer/sear engagement?

What was the good price for this gun?

Is this gun polymer or steel?

So you can’t buy guns in Oregon anymore?

I got the 6” with the black finish. Less than 50 rounds through it and the finish is already flaking off. Not impressed.

pog!

Never buy a 1911 with a shity trigger its defeating the purpose

Great review! Thanks! Yeah measure 114 is insane.. Hopefully the federal judge strikes it down as unconstitutional! It's crazy people would actually vote to take there own rights away.. dumb af.. take care! oh btw if you don't want the safety on the right side, take off the grip and slowly pull the right safety out, reinstall grip! :)

in my experience the triggers get better
