For our 1911 aficionados

Don't know if this has been posted, but pretty cool animated video and might consider it for a sticky.

cool!

[timkelley]

Whoever did this should somehow get paid for it, it's great.

[9.3X62AL]

Oh, yeah!

[Ghugly]

Someone had a lot of time and talent. Great find.

I fell in love with the old slab sides over 50 years ago when as a kid of 17 I went into the army. Today, under my pillow rests a 1943 vintage Remington Rand 1911A1, if the need should ever arise, (pray never) I know it won't fail me.

[dubber123]

I agree with the sticky idea, that is just too cool, and VERY useful!

[NSP64]

That was neat. It makes it all look so easy. Animation was good, too bad it didn't show the disconnector pushing the trigger bar down. Other than that looked flawless:drinks:
P.S. not bitchin just an observation.

[Pepe Ray]

Now I gotta find out how to copy it to my HD or a CD.
Hint?

[Ricochet]

That's awesome! Especially with the John Lee Hooker soundtrack! :mrgreen:

+1 I agree totally!

[jwp475]

Very cool animation

[ddeaton]

it is gone now, did anyone save it?

[scrapcan]

here is what comes up

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by WMG.

looks like someone did feel a bit of pride in their workmanship.

[SciFiJim]

It's back up now, but without the sound.

[Tater]

I just watched it and found it very interesting. A lot more involved than I thought. Thank you.

[Joneser]

That was really cool.

[LeadPoor]

Wow! Very good, and the Keep Vid worked well also
Thanks to both for the links

[casterofboolits]

Nice! Thanks for the link!

[eglidrider]

OMG! That's incredible. Thank you for sharing this.

[Scramjet]

Very Nice! New to the 1911 community could'nt resist buying the new Remington 1911 R1. Can't believe how the price continues to increase. Looking forward to see how it does once the spring comes around!

[Ronbo256]

There is a mistake in the assembly, you can't put the thumb safety in with the hammer forward, it has to be back in the cocked position. :D

[Safeshot]

Hello NSP64,
I may be mistaken, but I do not think that the disconnector "pushes the trigger bar down". The disconnector is pushed down and "unhooks from the sear" it only "slides down the rear surface of the trigger bar". I think that it is shown correctly.

[Bullet Caster]

That's pretty cool. Every 1911 owner should see this if they plan to take their pistol apart and put it back together. BC

I was shooting my Springfield M1911-A1 and this happened.59327

Realplayer will let you download a copy.

You can get realplayer software for free on their website.

[TCTex]

NICE!!


It my not be a sticky, but it is bookmarked on my computer!!

[Doc65]

Just watched it, very cool, does have sound, thought it may be different audio now

[ACrowe25]

Great link and had even better information! Glad someone took the time to put this together, thanks.

The barrel link pin on those is tapered a few thousandths. I thought that they had to go in from left to right. It loos like this video shows it going in from right to left. Am I missing something? Or am I just mistaken?

[sparkz]

Very Kewl,, someone put some time in on that one,,, I need to save that if i ever forget how to brake-down and clean my Colt,, hahah very Kewl tho

Patrick

[beefie]

uh, how can the trigger bar be pushed down? :-) when the disconnector is pushed down, it disengages the sear. When the disconnector is "up" in its notch in the slide, the sear can be moved by pulling the trigger. The grip safety's tang contacst the back of the trigger bar, so that the trigger can't move unless the grip safety is disgaged or disabled (ie, the tang is cut off)

[DougGuy]

Overall, given the occasional oversight it's pretty good. They also left out the kink right in the middle of the plunger spring, that is the only thing that keeps the plungers in the tube when you remove the thumb safety..

D'Oh!! What breed of barrel is (was) that? I suppose it would be repairable for a plinker / target gun. But I'd be buying a new one. I'd solder it back on and fill it with lead as a training aid (and fill an old mag as well).

[Trinidad Bill]

Wow, that was very nicely done. I am not a 1911 guy but I could use something similar on a lot of the old rifles and pistols I have acquired! 3D computer animation has come a long way.

That is the easy part...


go to cnetdownloads.com.

Search for software called "youtube downloader"

f you cannot figure it out yourself from there PM me and I'll talk you through it....

[Southerngunner]

I enjoyed that thanks.

[cigarman454]

What a great video. Very well done

[Ric-san]

Thanks for posting the link OP...

[Shumkles]

Very cool. It will be handy next time I forget how to put my 1911 back together after I clean it :)

[Mr_Sheesh]

The only thing I can't imagine is, being unable to forget how to put a 1911 back together LOL
Nice video though - Good catch :)

[kens]

I cant believe the 1911 nor the M1 Garand,,,,,,,,both of them go together without screws. No screws in it except for the grip panels.
How do they do that??? Who thought of that?? Did they figure it all out inside his head before he drew it on paper???
Geez !!!

[StrawHat]

I am strictly a patron of the revolver but after watching that video I learned a bit about the 1911.

[JerryCan]

That's really an informative vid. Wish they had that 40 years ago lol

Geez !!!

MOst military weapons of the day were the same. The Mauser strips completely using a bullet nose for example.

[josper]

very nice

[Longfellow]

Great for understanding the purpose of all the parts.
