    As a physics teacher for 37 years, I can say that you are the best 1911 teacher UA-cam has to offer. No outrageous introduction and right to the point without all the fluff. Great Job!

    I’m 74 and have been to Viet Nam in 1968 I was a M60 gunner with 1911 45. But all Marines taught me was how to field strip one time. I was impressed with it and have alway wanted one but expensive prices stopped me but I’ve finally ordered Tisas tank commander. I really appreciate your teaching and you are the sole instructor I trust Thankyou so very much.

    26 year old zoomer here. This is the best detailed video I could find on reassemble for the 1911. You also go into the "why" and not just how and it's great to have this knowledge passed down.

    Not only is this the BEST breakdown 1911 lower frame video, but I really enjoyed how you explained each step in vivid detail and also explained what each part is.

    This is what should be taught before buying your first 1911A1. Our parents - father - taught us how to take care of the car - change the oil, air filter, check the air in the tires, change flat tires, change spark plugs and more, now a days very few know how to do this. Thank you for a very informative video. Take care and stay well.

    Because I had your video and step-by-step instructions, this was the first time I've been able to disassemble and reassemble my 1911 without having to run to my gunsmith friend with a Tupperware container of parts asking him to reassemble (I don't like wasting his time). I now understand how the sear, disconnector, spring and spring cover work. Excellent instruction! I shoot about 700 rounds per month with my 1911 and like to completely disassemble the firearm to clean once a month. I will be forever in your debt GunBlue490. Thank you!

    As if I were not already won over by your instructional videos, this is hands down the best 1911 breakdown video I've seen. Our Armed Forces need to contract with you for all their training/instructional films. It is time for me to binge watch every video you've produced regardless of the content or whether I own that firearm or not. Yeah, you're that good!

      I agree with your assessment, however The Armed Forces has schools for armorers, where this style communication, skill, and experience are shared with soldiers that will conduct this work for the rest of us. Neither Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen nor we Marines are allowed to break weapons down to this detail, Armorers only. Job specific only.

I cannot thank you enough sir for this video and giving me the confidence to be able to do this! Watching this video and being able to tear down a 1911 has truly made my day! You are indeed a master and I personally would like to thank you for making these videos for all of us. Sincerely Ron Brown

    Really appreciate the fact that you are teaching others how to do this rather than trying to impress everyone with how quickly you can do it. So many others rush through the steps and obscure what they're doing so it's very difficult to know what was done. Thank you.

    I was a college sophmore many years ago and had the sear fail on a very old, well used government issued 1911 and it burned through a magazine by itself and very efficiently as I just held on .. an old Marine who worked at the College Police Dept. did a complete disassemably and reinstall/re-assembly in about 15 minutes and I was back to shooting paper at my slow and measured pace .. I was amazed at his ham-fisted and methodical approach .. of course he was less concerned with my instruction than just getting it all together .. but I'll never forget his proficiency at this task; however I must say your explanation filled in all the blanks. I don't know what became of that old Marine but your video made me flash back in time .. thank you for all the time you put into your videos .. I love shooting but also love knowing how things work ..

    Hello GunBlue490, a BIG thank you here. About a month ago I bought a guy's Ruger SR1911 Safe Queen, model 6700 from 2013, just like your pistol. Wow, was it stiff. After a couple-hundred rounds, and a few cleanings and some polishing, it seemed to loosen-up some. I had not completely disassembled it until I found your video - today I did. My disconnector was sticky and needed attention. You made disassembly and reassembly easy. Here is a tip I accidentally discovered on removing the safety: mine came off real easy when I had it positioned between safe and fire. Also, after more than a few frustrating minutes trying to line up the sear pin on reassembly, I used a toothpick. That worked. I am confident it will go bang, and now with the lower getting a good clean and polish, it seems to have more of a "broke-in" feel to it, and no sticking disconnector. Again, a big thank you!

    • @GunBlue490
      @GunBlue490  6 років тому

      Thank you. The quickest way to break in a new gun is to simply shoot it. Lubrication actually slows the burnishing process that polishes parts.

    • @ItsTacos4Me
      @ItsTacos4Me 6 років тому

      @@GunBlue490 Hi, for lubrication, I actually followed Ruger owner's manual recommendations (yes, I actually read it). I didn't over lube, but I did polish the stainless trigger (just the the metal that surrounds the magazine), as well as the head of the disconnector. The trigger had a gritty feel to it, and the disconnector would often stick down in its slot, unlike my SR1911 Commander Night Watchman that worked perfectly. Now, smooth trigger, no sticky disconnector, and racking is smoother. Truth is, the gun felt great when I was done. Again, thank you.

    Fantastic movie. Did my Model 1911 USGI c. 1913 in about two hours, a complete round trip. Never disassembled one before. And those two hours included scrubbing and cleaning. And more scrubbing. Only thing that spooked me was finding the little tiny pin that holds the spur to the hammer laying on the kitchen table. Important thing - we got it done. Thanks.

    Best system for replacing the hammer and strut. Other methods have you sliding the mainspring housing up into place while trying to let gravity swing the strut into the dished housing spring.
    Bless John Browning for the relative simplicity & ruggedness of the model 1911 design.

  • @briand9687
    @briand9687 4 роки тому +1

    Amazing video! This morning I discovered my 1911 hammer wouldn't come forward when I was trying to decock it completely empty. The trigger wasn't moving fully either. After watching this a couple times and pausing it as I went step by step, I tore the gun down to discover a piece of broken plastic in the sear/disconnector/trigger bow area that was gumming up the works! I have absolutely no idea how it got there. While it was torn down I cleaned it and carefully checked for any damage but didn't see any. I put it all back together and it's back into service. I did confirm the foreign object was plastic by a light nip with a pair of diagonal cutters after seeing injection molding marks on it. Many thanks for saving me the gunsmith bill!

    Thanks for one of the best tutorial on taking down the lower grip frame of the 1911. I built mine many years ago and remember the first time fitting the safety and disconnect and sear parts as quite a challenge . I took it down a few times in past and it was always a challenge. It's been years since I've felt like doing it again but after your video I feel confident in going ahead and giving my gun a good thorough cleaning.

    @garyK.45ACP 2 роки тому +1

    Great video as always!
    People say, compared to modern autoloaders, that field stripping a 1911 is complicated. Sort of true. Newer guns *field strip* faster and result in less "loose parts"
    But the 1911 can be much more easily fully disassembled than most modern handguns (except the ones with the "chassis system").
    My father, a career army man, WW2 tank commander, and small arms drill instructor at Ft. Knox after the war until he retired, taught me how to completely disassemble the 1911 using no tools other than what the pistol itself provided. The slide stop, thumb safety pin and hammer strut can be used as "punches" to push out pins. (proper tools are better, of course, but it can be done without them)
    Needless to say, the 1911 is one of my favorites. I own 6 of them and routinely remove the firing pins and extractors for cleaning and also detail strip them every few hundred rounds to clean all the internals.

Most of the others are either out of focus, out of frame or have jump cuts omitting things. I'm saving this one for when I break down my 1911's! Additionally, I now know how the 1911 works. I used to think I know, but now I really know!

    Thank you very much for your video and detailed explanation. I feel comfortable completely taking my 1911 apart for maintenance and cleaning (with your video playing of course). Again, thank you!

    Late to the game, but you have a great radio voice and great teaching method. You really should do more voiceovers.

    Thank you so much for this video. I was putting in a new part and the sear fell out. I had to watch your video to get my kimber going again.

    Great video! When I’m bored, I tear apart one of my 1911s down to the individual 1911 atoms, clean every part, lube and reassemble. I’m just starting to learn how to do it blindfolded.
    Another fun thing to do with a completely disassembled 1911 is ‘knolling’. Look it up if you don’t know what it is.

    Very good information sir. I purchased a relatively inexpensive imported 1911 that I will be using as a project gun. I am learning how to work on it and get comfortable with it before I purchase a more quality firearm. Thank you for the video.
