It's suprising how stupid people can be. I wonder if he was born that way or had to work on it? Maybe he drank too much tactical glock kool-aid & it made him thata way?
I'm sick

1911's are great guns. I've owned several, and I've liked them all. Also have owned Glocks (still have a G23C). It's all on what you like and what works for you. They're both great, but lately I've been cheating on em' both with a sexy little Model 66 in 2 1/2"...

Here's an interesting follow up to this thread ...
Rob Pincus, formerly of "The Best Defense" TV show and currently with Personal Defense Network, filmed a segment recently (this week?) with James Yeager at a training facility in Tennessee. I like Pincus, and find his TV work to be informative and practical, but pairing up with this Yeager clown is a big disappointment for me. I'm not talking about Yeager's outlandish pot-stirring rants about Glocks vs. 1911s, but rather his arrogant, amateur hour attitude and presentation on the video. The guy comes off like a generic gun nut loudmouth, all talk and no walk, and everything a quality instructor should not be.
It's really surprising that Pincus would do anything with him ... and it made me drop the idea of subscribing to Pincus' PDN. I actually posted a well-worded (and thoughtful) comment on Pincus' FaceBook page expressing my dismay at his involvement with Yeager ... it was deleted by Pincus in an hour's time.

Like I said in before, instructors are a dime a dozen. Good one's are too few. 
And when seaching for information on the internet, set your BS filter to HIGH.

That's hilarious ... I bet he learned the quick draw move from one of Yeager's instructional videos.

In short, I love my "junk" Para single stack 1911 that's had ZERO failures in over 5000 rounds of use. Typical 1911 maint required, but I like tinkering. When it's been at the range, ZERO problems have came up. When I take it hunting on my hip, ZERO problems have risen.
I love it, and plan on buying a few more.
It's also my EDC until my SP101 gets fitted to my needs. Then I'll keep it in rotation along with my XD9sc.

You must be talking about a holster? It is a very nice revolver!

I used to build 1911s, before everyone else got in the act. When Colt was building their civillian "government models" using the craftsmen he was talking about, it was true that many of them wouldn't function out of the box. But I have always wondered if the problem was they were just trying to get them on the market due to the high demand. The internet commando in the video, and that's all he is, never mentioned any real experiences, and certainly nothing that had to do with manufacturing, and simply put, he's wrong.
If he's never seen a malfunction with a Glock, he's lying, they are no better than the person shooting them and I've seen them fail a lot just with the small PD I worked for and the several others I requalified.
Keep your 1911, and keep it clean. Learn about it all you can and stop watching idiots with cameras that don't know jack about guns.

I'm glad I didn't have Internet when I was a young 19 year old infantrayman in Vietnam. I would have been scared to death to know that 1911a1 I crawled through a couple tunnels with would get me killed. I didn't know all that mud I crawled through would cause it to quit on me.
Same with my M16a1, It wasn't until I got the Internet in the late '90s that I found out that it wouldn't work.
Oh Well.......I'm safe now, I have the Internet to keep me safe.
Having said that, I have two 1911s, one is a 1911a1, (1942 colt frame, USSC slide) and a series 70 Gold cup.
Yeap I got them to jam. I found out that if you use cast bullets, row them around in Lee liquid lube, then after loading tumble them in walnut hulls, and DONT clean the excess wallnut hulls off the bullet, it wont feed very well.
Seems to work fine if you wipe the excess grease and walnut hulls off the bullets.
Where was the U-tube video that was suppose to tell me that.
The only reason I don't carry a 1911 as a CC weapon is it wont fit in my pocket like my little J frame will.

When I saw this thread, before I even opened it I figured it would be Yeager. According to him there is only one gun worth carrying. A Glock. Good for him. I hope he's happy. ME? I will continue to carry either my Sig or one of my Smiths. And I will do just as well as him and his Glock.

What's with the little hitch in his right arm/ shoulder? Am I supposed to think he's a tough guy who could kick my ***? Just wondering.

Whether you like Yeager's deliver or not, all he's saying is based on his extensive exposure on the range you have minimal problems with the Glock series of handguns, and that's not the case with 1911's. I agree with him.
And there is a obvious reason why some gunsmiths make a living working on 1911's, unlike Glocks.

Here's a video from a S.W.A.T./ tactical paramedic member. He doesn't seem to have an agenda either for or against the 1911.
