Man. Thanks for this. I've been wanting a 1911 for a bit, and since I'm 16 (don't question me), I wasn't entirely sure about how one worked, and this helped amazingly.
I’d suggest one change: your thumb needs to stay on TOP of the safety not underneath. This will maximize recoil control as well as ensure that the safety doesn’t accidentally get reengaged while firing
Handguns that have hammers to me are much more comfortable to use than no hammer/no safety handguns like my Glock and my s&w mp 2.0. big reason I enjoy carrying my 1911 where as the other two make me tense up when I bump my holster against my car door or something.
I like the safer features on the 1911 and I just love the look of it I wanted to buy one for my first pistol but my friends trying to talk me out of it and says I should get a more begginner/novice friendly like the modern pistols, what do you think is better a for a starter pistol
@@connerchilders6424 I just bought a 1911 as my first gun. Ppl tried to tell me to get a Glock as my first but I’ve always wanted a 1911 so had to do it
If you carry +1, you may need to with a round in. People will carry with the hammer back though so idk. I feel like idiots probably have accidents with this model.
With a 1911, only decock the hammer on an empty chamber. Otherwise you may have a negligent discharge. With a round in the chamber, keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you intend to fire
phineasreichert, Pls. rewatch the video, again. No need to decock on an empty chamber. The grip safety will prevent firing as long as it is Not depressed. An important safety feature. Firearm will Only fire when grip dafety is depressed AND trigger is pulled. Only when BOTH actions are taken will it fire. Redundant safety features . . . ☆
Never decock a 1911 on a live round. They where intended to be carried cocked and locked. In other words, a round in the chamber and the safety on. Decocking risks a negligent discharge. What is worse the firing pin is not locked so it can go off if the hammer is bumped into the firing pin. For example, if you drop the gun or if something smacks the hammer. If you want a gun that can be carried in that condition get a Walkter PPK or other double/single action guns with a decocker. An important safety consideration is using the gun in the way it was intended.
So, how many times has that grip safety made your thumb webbing bleed under recoil? Lol changed mine years ago for the much friendlier commander frame grip safety when i redid all my springs, slicked up the ramp, and lowered my trigger pull. Best hand gun in my collection and the wear on mine shows its a favorite. Been with me almost 15 years now. Take it everywhere.
@@carloslvaldez7239 even when that is done correctly if you should so drop the gun, fall down, or even aggressively press too hard for any reason it could go off.
It's been proven a lot of them dropped from shoulder height still isn't enough to make it go off ...still don't trust it but they did a whole series on it
I have this gun. It’s the Remington R1 1911 decocking his way seems dangerous what I do is put my non-shooting hand on the hammer while I squeeze the trigger also, keeping my finger in between the hammer and the strike plate, or whatever. Also, with the Remington R1 it can half cock.
Decocking isnt recommended but IF you do, once hammer is closed, click hammer back 1 click aka half cocked. When ready to fire, click hammer open to rear. Personally i do not understack 1911 decockers, backstrap grip safety plus one of if not the best slide locking manual safety switches ever made, period. Cock N Lock it, or don't cock at all is my suggestion.
Except when ur in an action movie where you’re gonna shoot an enemy only to realize it’s ur friend so u sigh in relief, then decock ur gun like a badass🔥😎
You have to be 21 to purchase a handgun. Otherwise, an alien legally in the U.S. is not prohibited from purchasing firearms unless the alien is admitted into the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa and does not meet one of the exceptions as provided in 18 U.S.C. 922(y)(2), such as possession of a valid hunting license or permit.
No. (1) You’re not going to damage a solid steel gun by hand and (2) you DO need to train to slam the mag into place otherwise under stress you won’t insert it hard enough and the mag will just fall out onto the ground. I made that mistake once in a competition and have since altered my training to make sure I never make that mistake again
This guy finds things out on UA-cam himself throws a vest on and then makes his own videos pretending to be a professional....anyone that's seen his video on oiling an AR where he says to put oil directly in the air ports can tell he doesn't know much more about guns than the average new gun owner
Just press R .

@@1stShotTactical HANDSOME ❤👍👍👍👆👆👆

of course, dr. freeman
Decocking that way looks like an accidental discharge waiting to happen.
Dude just hearts it and moves on
@@asylumrain true chad
people have been doing it for 100 years and you don’t really hear about that happening
What more needs to be said?
He told you to SLOWLY release it to de-cock it.
Only if your thumb slips.
if your gun is depressed you can ask it politely to hold onto its firearms until it feels better
I love to see other people with 1911’s. I’ve got a Kimber Stainless ll and I absolutely love the thing.

@@anusmcgee4150don't worry. I also thought he meant it as if if could set to "safety" by itself, rather than your thumb

Am I the only one to just clear the chamber before de-cocking?
Nope. That's the only way to do it safely. With a round in the chamber, carry it cocked and locked. Always empty the chamber before de-cocking.
If you carry +1, you may need to with a round in. People will carry with the hammer back though so idk. I feel like idiots probably have accidents with this model.
@@teebob21ah okay. Youre right that makes sense.
Remington 1911 beautiful
113 YEARS OLD and Still the BEST Handgun Ever Made, Amazing!
My 1911 never gets depressed
I’m more of a Smith and Wesson type guy but Colt 1911s are a great choice of gun along side the Glock 45X which is great gun for concealed carry
Classic forever 💪
My Para 1911 GI Expert is quite the simple beast. And the first handgun I owned.
Bro got a Remington 1911 🤣💀
"And now you are decocked"
"AGHH-"
Old but simple and not too complicated that's why i love it
With a 1911, only decock the hammer on an empty chamber. Otherwise you may have a negligent discharge. With a round in the chamber, keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you intend to fire
Only if you have little girl hands

Pls. rewatch the video, again.
No need to decock on an empty chamber.

The most incredible hand gun of all time❤

Are the Mec-Gar mags that come with the Tisas 1911 reliable?
When u rack the slide are u simultaneously holding down the slide release?

Thank you Sir, but I prefer to safely decock my Kimber using two hands.
Is it easy to cock the chamber of a 1911? Or is it a really strong spring? Idk I’ve never held a real firearm before.
Do not drop the hammer over a live round with this firearm...
Lower, & drop are two very different human actions
If you must do it one handed, put your thumb in FRONT of the hammer to LOWER IT SLOWLY. PLEASE😊

How do you like that Remington?
Don’t forget the built in bottle opener
Simple, easy, and esplendid pick to demonstrate! Thanks for pleasuring the eyes!
My issue is the mag gets caught halfway, only way to fully insert it is if i press the mag release button.
my Kimber does that
JaredAF has a better method of decocking the 1911. Way safer, too.
In Finland its almost impossible to own handgun legally (hunting rifles are easier to get), but M1911 would be my option.
Most beautiful pistol ever made 😊
We own a Colt Officer’s ACP 1911.
Nice to see the 1911 on the radar again
Also, you should use the safety as a gas pedal to get high on the gun and keep the muzzle down
Omg it's beautiful... that's a Big Black Colt
I strongly suggest decocking on an empty mag it's too risky to do it loaded
He said decocked😂
Lol😂😂😂
There's something wrong with your 1911, it says "Remington" on it, whatever that means...
bro forgot the grip safety

Remember to always decock with the weapon pointed downrage
Trans people know how to decock
No they don't, they need to hire a certified medical professional to do it for them.
Or a drunk with a rusty cleaver. Same same.
🤨📸
Good video up until the point of “if we wanna decock” that was horrible advice. Never decock a loaded firearm people.
You forgot to mention that If that back fin isn’t pressed in it won’t fire
How to get a negligent discharge on a 1911
how many bullets g]does it take
There is zero reason to decock like that.
Except when ur in an action movie where you’re gonna shoot an enemy only to realize it’s ur friend so u sigh in relief, then decock ur gun like a badass🔥😎
Drop the mag and rack the slide. Otherwise run it cocked and locked. That’s what I teach my imaginary students.

Hehe, pew and no pew
Does the hammer need to be back in order to fire?
Yes, it's a single action handgun, so the hammer must be engaged.
Why is every you tube weapon channel got tactical in the title 🤦🏻♂️
No mention about the grip safety whatsoever?
I have an APC M1911 and love it
Click-clack❤
How do you make one?
Wdym make one
1911 holds 7-8 .45 N Double ACP rounds
Concise I like concise.
Do you also have gun license
We all have a gun license in the US. It's called the 2nd Amendment.
always make sure the firearm is pointing in a safe direction at all times.
Step 1 don’t slam your mag in your gun. Your gonna do permanent damage.
