Fascinating animation on You Tube of assmebly of 1911 .45 and firing of the weapon. Cut-away views.
Really get a chance to appreciate the brilliant design.

I heard “my friend’s” Grandfather took his home from The Great War.
Yep, great video. I wish we had it 30 years ago. The only problem we had was cracks in the firing pin retainer. It was a major problem when us Sergeants took our officers to the range for qualification.
I still carry a 1911 45.
Bump for later
My son had to do a demonstration in his seventh grade speech class. He demonstrated field stripping a M1911.
He was not strong enough to depress the recoil spring so he had to have his demonstration assistant hold it in and then slowly let it out. His Mom did not mind helping.
Lutheran school.

Whoever put it together screwed up when he showed the safety going in with the hammer in the uncocked position....
Sure wish I could train mine to do that. So far I’ve got it to run around going off by itself, but I’m not sure it’s up to this. BTT.
Loved the .45. I was an armorer for the 32nd Armor in Germany, 59-62. Lots of 1911s on hand since everyone carried one. Didn’t have any problems with them all the time I was there. I liked the M3 grease gun also, looked like hell but was very reliable and lots of fire power. I could put 15 rounds in the black at 25 yards with an M3 and used to demonstrate it for the troops who thought they couldn’t hit anything with it.

Awesome video of the most awesome weapon made by men.

I love home movies.

I heard that a lot about the .45. Two of us were on our group’s combat pistol team - we were good. It was our job to get our company officers qualified. Qualifying meant hitting 50% of the popup targets. After firing they were patting each pother on the back, bragging about how good they were. We each took two .45s, one in each hand and called for a ten second exposure of all targets. We took two lanes apiece – and cleared the targets. Compared to what we were used to man size silhouettes were easy.
