Thanks. I’ve been an Ayoob fan for years.

This is the “armorer’s grasp”: handy for takedown and one type of malfunction clearing, but not the author’s idea of a proper chamber-check technique.

I've always heard of that as "Glock Grip" because that's how you grab a Glock to field strip it.

[NTHockey]

There is also a 5th safety; if all else fails. Put your hand over the muzzle and push back; it won’t fire.

NOT RECOMMENDED.

IF any man knows all about the 1911 it is certainly Ayoob!

[Redcitizen]

Ayoob once was Anoob. Now after years of experience he became Ayoob.

I own a Glock, and a few 1911’s. I can go on and on about the greatness of the 1911, but Glock fans do not understand. I know two people who shot themselves with a Glock, none I know with a 1911. First Glock owner ( an ex Marine) sat on the toilet with his Glock in his lower back holster, he finished the paperwork, pulled up his pants, discharge, through his ass cheek. Would have never happened with a 1911. Second person, similar experience, trigger snagged on something, discharge through his foot. Learn about both weapons, decide for yourselves. Keep in mind the striker fired Glock is much more dangerous than the triple safety hammered 1911 in many “ unusual” and “ unlikely” circumstances, circumstances that you may THINK can never occur….I myself had an AD with a Glock, looking back it could never have occurred with a hammer gun. Glock- 3 incidents, 1911 none.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I’ve never owned a Glock, and only one 1911. I’m more of a revolver guy. No negligent discharges (so far, knock wood).

[AlaskaErik]

I’ve hated the 1911 ever since I had to qualify with one in the Marine Corps. There will never be one in my inventory.

[smokingfrog]

I prefer not to read any articles about 1911’s because they almost always make me want to buy one. :)

[smokingfrog]

The ones we had to qualify with when I was in basic training in ‘73 were ancient! Some of them probably dated back to WWII. Lots of stovepipes.

[PROCON]

Yeah, I saw that video, disgusting.

“IF any man knows all about the 1911 it is certainly Ayoob!”

I took one of his courses several years ago and got to watch him shoot a course of fire on the range. He is absolutely a master of John Browning’s creation.

Certainly, revolvers are my carry choice, no FTF, FTE, …..I have owned to many autos that failed just one time, loss of trust in my sidearm puts it on Gunbroker….I love my SW hammerless Airweight.
