Ever wanted to know how the John Browning designed Model 1911 Style Auto Pistol works? In this video, I completely tear-down and reassemble the 1911 Auto Pistol with step-by-step instructions and closeups of how the parts all work together to make the gun go bang! This video is the first in a series of videos explaining the inner workings of some popular contemporary auto handguns and was suggested by one of my tactical shooting class students who wanted to know more about his 1911. Any firearm I run, I want to know the inner workings of, and so did he. I hope you find this useful. 

Use this example at your own risk. Firearms can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Remember that YOU are the most important safety on any firearm. Clear your firearm before beginning any maintenance procedure and make sure there is NO LIVE AMMUNITION anywhere near the work area. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction when fully assembled. Be sure to range check your firearm after a procedure like this BEFORE you trust your life to it. If you are not comfortable performing mechanical procedures like this, then DON'T. Seek the professional guidance of a trained gunsmith instead. THIS VIDEO IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!

Never did finish this series... perhaps soon.
