How a 1911 Works

[Richierich]

Great animation of how a 1911 works. Was done my STI, many may have seen this already but some may have not. And by clicking on the boxes you can reveal as little or as much of the gun as you want. Thought it was interesting.

And here I thought it was pixie dust and magic

They left out the part where it jams.

 

[Richierich]

Lol how did i know the plastic crew would show up. =)

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Wow I see they left out the part where the lesser known 5th rider of the Apocalypse comes roaring out of the barrel and smites the target of God's own wrath with Thor's Hammer causing not only the target but everybody with evil in their hearts who had seen that target to disappear in a shower of sparks...Man I hope that wasn't supposed to be a secret.

Not sure if your trying to be a smart ass or not but none the less i found that link interesting.

Yeah, that assembly video is sick. I have seen it before and was amazed by the accuracy of all the parts...

I think the title of your thread should be changed to:

"IF a 1911 Works."

.

Where can I find some assembly & disassembly animations for Glocks.......I would like to field strip my G19.

Wait a minute..............are you sayin my Glocks aren't made of Titanium ?

Are you saying I has been duped ?

 

[dawg23]

you can't figure out the simple joy of the revolver... you must not be hard to confuse.

I guess it's just me ..........but "simple joy of the revolver" sounds about as gay as some of the P7 threads I've seen here lately.

I have never considered handgun self defense to be "joyful" .............except when I open-carry.

And yes, I am easy to confuse. I mistook my first wife for a sweet, kind, considerate, warm, loving, tender, devoted, caring female. Fortunately, I was correct on at least one count.

 

[dawg23]

P7 threads? When? Where? Why wasn't I told?????

BTW... I've been meaning to speak with you about this this obsession you have regarding homophobia.

.

It began with dislike, disapproval and simple precautions designed to avoid the practitioners.

Then came the red range bags...............

 

[dawg23]

What can I say? It was the only color Waller had in stock at the time.

At least, I don't have a cap pistol disguised as a 9mm...

.

Actually, it's a 9mm disguised as a cap pistol.

p.s. I presume you realize that 2/3 of the people on this forum will have no idea what a cap pistol is. Most will think it refers to "bustin' a cap in yo ass."

 

[dawg23]

I have been giving some thought to that concept. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

BTW, Paul was right; the #3 holster does have the stitching farther down and thus would be more suitable. I have a old one lying un-used if you want to try it out before spending large on one...


.

Eggsually ..... mine was supposed to be a #3. Turns out it was a #4 that came in a #3 plastic bag. I went back and exchanged it and now have a #3.

I also ordered one of the new Nemesis holsters with the "extra tacky" outer finish. Supposed to stay in the pocket better. Probably wasted another $9.95

$600 is a lot of $$ for a pocket 9mm. But the Rhorbaugh is close to double that. And nothing else really appears to be as reliable.......hard to put a price tag on a "save my ass" weapon. This one sure makes it easy to carry 14 rounds (incl.the tiny spare mag) of +p+ in your pocket.

Who doesn't know what a cap pistol is?! I'm 24 and even we used to play with them when we were kids....

 

[dawg23]

You didn't need to add any qualifiers behind that... other than possibly "again".

In that case he'd need to say which Paul he was referring to.

 

[dawg23]

I guess in Mississippi they don't teach English 102 - you know, the class where they cover ending a sentence with a preposition.

I don't know whom you are referring at.

 

[dawg23]

Must have hurt to part with that $9.95, eh? I feel your pain...

Hey.........70 or 80 of those things cost as much as a new pistol. Not an HK, but still a new pistol.




dawg23 added 1 Minutes and 53 Seconds later...

I hope yours (and Paul's "friend's") turn out that way... reliable, that is. Personally, I've heard/read far too many complaints to be willing to roll the dice with that much scratch on the off-chance of getting a "good" one.

You can have problems with anything.

Heck, Pangris says his STI is a liability.
