When something is developed and put into service in 1911 and is still in service today with little to no variance, you know it's quality. John Browning is easily one of the greatest firearm designers/inverters of all time.

[@MaximumNewbage]

Or it's old people making decisions for military acquisitions based on nostalgia or lobbying/patronage by friendly manufacturers. Let's be objective here. 1911 has a single stack mag. so we're talking 7 or 8 rounds. Standard double stack mags usually range from 15 to 20 on most modern handguns. Not to mention polymer handguns weigh substantially less. There are plenty of good polymer handguns but i'll use a Glock for the sake of weight comparison: Glock 19 (stock) w/16 rounds of 124gn (9mm) - 30.8 oz. Kimber Custom II w/8 rounds of 230gn (.45 acp) - 44.7 oz. Glock 21 (stock) w/14 rounds of 230gn (.45 acp) - 40.1 oz. And keep in mind that while .45 acp theoretically has more muzzle energy, studies that have surveyed hundreds of actual real-life shooting incidents show that .45 acp produces about the same rate of death and incapacitation as 9mm. So you might as well choose the one that gives you more shots per weight.

[@bryanblack526]

@@MaximumNewbage the old but mostly tired argument about double stack magazines. I'll play devils advocate here and give Joe blow street hood that knows nothing about tactics let alone proper use of concealment and cover. Then I give a combat experienced veteran a 1911, put them both in a cemetary at night and tell them only 1 can walk out alive. My money is on the vet, fuck your double stack magazines.

[@MaximumNewbage]

@@bryanblack526 Right... because war boils down to two people having a one-on-one duel in a cemetery at night, huh? You should read some statistics. One of the primary determinants of victory in firefights in war is volume of fire. If magazine capacity and round count didn't matter, we wouldn't have switched from full sized rifle rounds to intermediate cartridges. And we'd all still be using guns like M1 Garands with 8 shots needed before a fucking reload. More rounds per reload + lighter ammo (or lighter magazines) = greater volume of fire per soldier. Oh and guess what? When NATO was trying to decide on a standardized calibre shortly after WWII, it was the conservative big wigs in the US Military that put their foot down and refused to change, insisting on 7.62 x 51 when Britain wanted to jump straight to an intermediate calibre. The result? They redesigned the Garand for full auto fire and use of a detachable magazine and tried to use it as a standard assault rifle (AKA the M14). We all know that was a fucking terrible idea. Took decades for them to get with the program and agree to 5.56 x 45, after they saw how effective 7.62 x 39 was with the AK. And in your example, why is it Joe blow vs a Veteran? It should be two veterans. The way you structured your example feels like even you subconsciously admit that skill level being equal, higher mag capacity is just straight better.

[@bryanblack526]

@@MaximumNewbage who said anything about war? I'm talking about self defence, I'll put knowledge and experience armed with a 1911 or even a revolver for that matter against ignorance armed with a double stacked magazine , besides, this is just an informative video on how a 1911 works, you're the one that turned it in to a competition with a glock, uh, in reference to your volume of fire, look at the statistics of casualties to rounds fired between 4 years of WWII and 13 years of Vietnam, then feel free to get back with us.

@@bryanblack526 Um.. Dude... the entire response I made was a comment on why 1911 is still in service. The original comment mentioned it as evidence that 1911 the best thing ever.

Most beautiful animation of how a handgun works. Most explanatory voiceover. Most effective voice. Cheers.

[@174rank]

The animations and explanations of the mechanisms are amazing. One thing that was not mentioned here is that this gun fires from a locked breech, and when the barrel moves backward and pivots down, the locking lugs on the top of the barrel move down out of engagement with the corresponding grooves in the slide. Most pistols have this sort of locking mechanism, and it is the principle difference between a "blowback" and a "recoil-operated" gun.

[@nickloven6728]

Sad this video doesn't mention one of the most unique part about the design, it's short recoil tilting barrel action.

[@brandonzidzik]

@@nickloven6728 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5u0o5t6gKmKfM0 eh?

[@nickloven6728]

@@brandonzidzik yes but the video claims the tilting action only helps the cartridge feed into the barrel. While it does aid feeding, the barrel actually moves backwards with the slide in the locked position for just a few millimeters before dropping down into the frame and allowing the slide to move all the way to the rear. It does this so the gun doesn't explode, you see in a traditional blowback handgun only the weight of the slide and spring are keeping the round in the chamber, when the round is fired the pressure will try to escape through the pass of least resistance. Hopefully if you have enough weight on the slide and spring the pressure should force the round out of the barrel before the gun tries to extract the round or else the bullet case will explode without the support of the barrel, too much weight and the gun won't cycle . The problem with blowback is you need a super heavy slide and recoil spring to make the guns work properly with higher pressure handgun calibers, that makes guns overall more heavy and much harder to chamber a round manually. So instead of using just the mass of the slide to keep the cartridge chambered long enough to allow the round to fully leave the chamber and pressure in the case to drop, the 1911 for example allow the barrel and slide to move together under recoil while still having the cartridge fully locked into chamber, only until a certain amount for distance does the barrel drop down unlocking it from the slide and the round is ejected, by then the bullet has fully left the barrel. This is better than traditional blowback because now the slide and recoil spring can be alot lighter, especially for high pressure calibers like 10mm. In the video they make it seem like it's just a blowback, which it is not. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining this, I think there are videos that shows the difference alot better

I prefer guns that have mechanisms that do nothing and have no use. Makes them more complex.

@@frankcastle9866 Some people are new to firearms and have never seen the inside of how they work. And not all achieve the end goal in the same manner. And those who have "arrived" at the knowledge plateau have yet more to learn.

I've never got my hands on a gun, but the way they work, is amazing, whoever made this is a genius.

[@scottlawton9459]

That would be the design work of John Moses Browning. Browning’s name is all over just about every facet of firearms design. He died in 1926, but every firearm designed today utilizes his principles in one way or another. The man truly was a genius.

What an animation! Amazing! I wish all the educational videos could be like this !

[@originaltails01]

The best animation I've seen so far. However, there is one step missing in detail: the extractor and ejector. The inside extractor grabs the empty brass then rides the recoil to the the ejector (the small raise portion on the back of the slide), thus sending it flying. This short recoil operated system is still commonly used on most handguns!

I've never understood exactly how sear and disconnecter work before this animation, absolutely great animation. And even over a 100 years later this design is still the best in the business. John Browning is the Einstein of Guns.

The sear and disconnector have always confused me, and this helped immensely!

[@joeshmoe7967]

but why is a sear, called a sear? Also who the heck came up with 'sear' as a word to describe that little piece of metal?

[@susanmesler9619]

The function of the disconnector on the 1911 is to prevent the pistol from being fired until the breech is locked and in battery.

[@jd5747]

all politics and social nuances aside, this is such an elegant and beautiful piece of technology

[@TimmacTR]

What a fucking great animation. Never thought guns would be this precise..

[@nitramluap]

Geez... you even animated the rifling scoring the bullet! Phenomenal detail.

[@cryhavoc9748]

The truly amazing thing is that John Moses Browning visualized the pistol in his mind, then sat down and did the machinists drawings, then built the prototype. Remington bought most of his patents. Some they decided to make, but they bought most of his designs to prevent any other company from making them.
