Why the 1911 DS Pistol Isn’t New — It’s Just Finally Getting Noticed

Is the doublestack 1911 really the future of handguns—or just a rediscovery of a long-loved platform? In this video, we explore the resurgence of the 1911 DS pistol, its roots in the legendary 1911, and why younger shooters are suddenly hyped about a firearm that's been around for decades.

Veteran shooters weigh in on the performance, reliability, and craftsmanship of the 1911 DS platform, (specifically the Jacob Grey TWC Black), discussing how it compares to modern striker-fired guns. We dive into generational divides, tight tolerances, recoil control, and what makes the 1911 DS feel like the “Ferrari” of pistols.

Whether you're a seasoned 1911 fan or a new shooter just discovering the 1911 DS, this video breaks down why this firearm continues to dominate conversations at the range.
