Gun Talk’s Range Ready Studios hosted the Colt 1911 Experience — a two-day immersive training event built around one of the most iconic pistols ever made. Students spent high-rep days on the range mastering modern, optics-equipped 1911 fundamentals, from confident gun handling and red-dot presentation to draws, reloads, malfunction clearances, and accuracy at speed.
Join Range Ready’s Chris Cerino as he hosts this recap alongside Team Colt’s Mark Redl, Wyatt Gibson, Justine Williams, and Jalise Williams, breaking down what makes this experience special and what shooters walked away with after two focused days of real instruction and real reps.
The class centered on the Colt Competition Optics-Ready 1911 (9mm), paired with the Vortex Defender-ST Micro Red Dot (6 MOA), and reinforced with premium supporting gear — including Galco leather holsters and mag pouches — plus training ammunition provided by Shell Shock Technologies. From single-stack reload management to dot discipline and trigger control, this was a full-spectrum look at running a modern 1911 with speed and precision.
