Wilson Combat - Complete Disassembly of a 1911

[@tacticplanner7188]

I love watching videos by old gun guys there's no cocky attitude just good old fashioned knowledge and Wisdom. You are a master of your craft and I appreciate this very well done video not about views just passing on knowledge. Hats off my friend and stay safe out there, best wishes.

[@MrJlpzjr]

Makes it look easy

[@sunnyssideup5109]

@@MrJlpzjr i totally agree

[@christopherkasik3291]

This video was made in 2011 and I still enjoy watching! A true master at his craft !!

[@murphroberts4891]

I have a feeling Ron's "craft" extends beyond tearing down 1911s.

[@johnknouse8846]

My first 1911 was an inexpensive ATI that I got for $300. I took that thing apart and put it back together at least a dozen times just to learn every part of the gun. I have several nicer ones now, and I’m glad I have that experience.

[@susana301301]

I would place this at the top! Pure, informative teaching.

[@blutoblutarski2421]

Ron is a legend.

[@Jmbk7278]

Here is a good trick when you’re putting the weapon back together; after you insert the trigger and magazine catch, put in an empty magazine. This will help line everything up so that it is easier to put back in all those little pins. Be sure to take the magazine out before you put back the hammer. Great video, Thanks for posting

[@blackdogxx]

That may be the best disassembly/assembly video I ever saw for a 1911. If a guy for Wilson Combat demonstrates, you can bank on the accuracy of his comments. And it's a cinch you will not see many more handsome 1911s than the one used. I learned that even if you cannot afford a Wilson 1911, you can afford their 8 round magazines if you want the best.

[@Marcelino2435]

I bought a 1911 from Wilson Combat back in 2000. I had to learn how to disassemble and assemble this work of art. Ron Philips is one of my references. The other is “The M1911 complete owner's guide." Because I'm not a gunsmith and there are none in my area. Thanks Ron for your knowledge and expertise. P.S. It still shoots quarter groups at 25 yards; incredible after all these years.

[@codypack4463]

new to 1911s and this helped me greatly sir much appreciated.

[@neoprimato1959]

Thanks Ron, your trick for taking the ambi out saved my sanity! Your presentation was clear, understandable, relaxed and just the right speed...bravo!

[@djarnoldo516]

Amazing how simple and elegant the 1911 design is, and how few parts there are.

[@goinhot9133]

I know right, makes the glock seem like a space ship

[@FrdmFlwr]

That was very relaxing to watch. Thank you for that peaceful, informative video. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

[@bustersfirerarmstraining6366]

This is a very good instructional video, I tore into my sig sauer scorpion last night and my sear had a third piece to it. When I took it apart it fell out so I didn't see how it went back together, after a little trial and error and some Google I found the correct position for it then had trouble with the sear spring. Thankfully Google was there with some stills and showed me how that was applied. Was definitely an experience and I'm glad my 1911 is cleaned. Thanks for this video.

[@wizardking8528]

Great Video and very educational. Wilson Combat has great products and excellent Customer Service.

[@F00dstamp96]

Great video! i'm going into the Missouri national guard next summer as a small arms repairer/ technician and this should be very helpful knowledge for future reference! Thank you! GO WILSON COMBAT!

[@marloc2019]

The Omega glimpse @06:19 tells me even more about your persona than the perfect craftmanship shown in the vid. When masters meet.

[@Downsouth1796]

Sir you have a Johnny Cash quality to your voice, makes listening to the instructions enjoyable. Great walk through

[@oops5760]

More like sam elliott

[@marksd5650]

That’s amazing-you’ve done that a few times. Thank you sir. Very informative

[@thisisyourcaptin]

Followed your video and it worked like a charm. Took my Colt New agent done to parts, cleaned, and rebuilt. Works like a charm. Just had to go shot it.

[@cz1always608]

PS yes I know its been a wile since this was posted . the cool thing about the internet , when you put something out there it stays out there for ever. thanks again

[@murphroberts4891]

Yep, it's ben a wile.

[@markmadsen6828]

A true Master at work.. Great stuff..

[@neopolitanwolfe120]

Amazing and professionally executed disassembly video. Used this as a guide to detail strip and clean my S.A. Operator. Thanks.

[@sunnyssideup5109]

I just purchased my first 1911 nothing nowhere near nice as this one. it is a Tisas made in Turkey but I needed something so I can learn and this video definitely has helped me not be so confused

[@bens6865]

Thank you, Marlboro man

[@N98858]

Both You and My Dad make this look so easy... Thanks for the refresher course ';-)

[@dcselwitz]

Ron is the man !!! Thank you WC !!!

[@LunaBieber01]

First time that I did a full disassembly if 1911. Needed some help. I got it right here. thanks!

[@johnnypea5369]

with videos like this as a guide, I might try a detailed disassemble of my 1911

[@iyn1911]

welcome back wilson combat Ron!

[@orion7873]

Holly shit ... I wanted a 1911 until I saw this video. What you did in 14 mins would take me about 3 days.

[@iamtheomega]

Excellent info, thx. Some say Browning worked out the kinks in the 1911 by the time he made the Hi Power, so the Hi Power had none of the 1911's "faults". I think that generally refers to feeding and extraction, but I haven't had any major issues. But of course build quality varies and so many have made and are making the 1911, not so with the hi power...also, "cheap" mags obviously would factor in. The 1911 probably has one of the best triggers ever...

[@johnmpifer]

I bought a HiPower a year and a half ago...now I had to have a 1911, so I just ordered a Dan Wesson Heritage!

[@MOONDOGNEWYORK]

Fantastic video. One of the best I’ve seen.

[@anthonylanci]

Wow man, great video. Good little trick wth the piece of paper. Gonna try that.

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Thank you very much! Greets from the Netherlands, T.

[@PatriotsNFL1]

Extremely professional disassembly video.. Very good work

[@antonmortolovan4891]

I like the video. It refreshes me on the process. The only negative is he is a bit dry but very easy to follow. Thanks!

[@murphroberts4891]

"A bit "dry'" I don't think many people give a shit. You come here to be entertained or to learn? The stupid shit some people call entertainment I can live without. You need to go watch the moron who pisses on himself and then brags about it.

[@sysjls75]

I went though Army Basic Training in 1966. My DI did a complete disassembly in front of me. The punch line was, I had to reassemble before I could go on my first pass off post. I did it. He figured I should be able to do it, since I was off to armorer's' school in about three weeks.

[@bananastickman2]

Thanks for the video. That is a nice 1911!

[@DarkTubeToo]

Wow Ron. I haven't seen you in a while. Thanks for the video. I've learned a ton from you over the years. Thanks again.

[@jacobharrod6912]

You made that look too easy. Buttery smooth. Thanks!

[@ВладимирСтоляров-о7е]

Даже без знания языка всё становится понятным. Очень хорошее видео о очень хорошем пистолете.

[@dcselwitz]

Fantastic video ... wonderful teaching/learning tool. Thank you WC.

[@johnstanton2853]

When putting the thumb safety in I use a flat wooden coffee stir with the rounded end cut straight across. Also a slight crimp in the plunger spring will prevent it from flying out when the thumb safety is removed.

[@Guitarmike]

Thank you, fantastic video. Just what I needed to answer a couple of questions.

[@MrStunt428]

thanks man great stuff very detailed and at a great pace. The video quality was amazing able to see and follow very easily.

[@chasezaffuto88]

Great video very informative with good camera work he makes it look so easy unless this is the first time doing this and you are scared as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs

[@joeburchett3124]

Thanks, nicely done and very informative... A true professional

[@BlackOps-Ent]

Amazing! My eyes glossed over in the first minute...

[@murphroberts4891]

You should see a doctor about that.

[@scorch2020]

So happy i found this vid yes!!!!!!!

[@dontony51]

Thank you!!!This is what I needed to see..

[@ETHRON1]

Thank you for this video.... being i have a 1911, 1911ish, and a baby 1911...

[@shaverlocal]

Excellent! Thanks for a very informative video

[@BALJIT147]

very informative and very well made, thank you for making this video

[@davidjackson2974]

You make it look easy!

[@murphroberts4891]

Because it is... and Ron's done this a couple times.

[@kennylawson3028]

you forgot the small set screw holding the mag well pin in place during reassemble

[@albertmichall5732]

Thank you . Albert

[@quitepossible4498]

Ron..thanks for the vid. Very,very helpful

[@daleparker4207]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@Nickel1911]

Awesome vid. Thanks Wilson combat

[@Andy-hl7gh]

I feel hypnotized.

[@christianarmoryworks]

Great Video on a great product, thanks for sharing.

[@bigsmk9168]

This guys a level 100 wizard 🧙🏽‍♂️

[@76Stankfinger]

A great video, thanks for your time!

[@theDIGITALperception]

best guide out there, thank you

[@Sydneywizard]

Excellent vid. You made it look (too) easy.

[@murphroberts4891]

Why would / should it not be? Like any other motor skill, practice makes a proceedure become flawless. Additionally helpful, of course, not having series 80 parts to contend with.

[@markr6754]

Now I’ll have to go take mine apart. Not a Wilson Combat, of course, but I can see where the differences are. Will ensure everything gets a good cleaning at the same time.

[@ChronicKPOP]

a fine firearm and a fine watch - what more can a man ask for I have a planet ocean myself

[@drewbaglin1632]

He's been at Wilson forever...

[@michaelmoran8780]

I like seeing the little tricks that you guys are doing because we all have things that just make the process of assembly and dissembly smoother, and speaking of smooth that is one gorgeous pistol! Someday I'll spend the money on one, once I get moved out of this State where you need to ask the permission of political tyrant's to exercise your American and natural Rights🤷🏽‍♂️. Anyways, cool video 👍🏼 👍🏼!

[@ludecarlos1]

parabéns, adoro seus videos, você é o melhor....muito bom

[@murphroberts4891]

The gentleman says, "Congratulations, I love your videos, you are the best .... very good".

[@torqueguy1]

Many thanks. Well done video

[@Glockerstein]

That’s the exact model I want!!!

[@geekyjock78]

This is great! Thanks!

[@岡崎バーベキュー]

今まで見たガバメントの中で一番カッコイイ

[@tonyromano6220]

Cool.

[@HeavyJ318]

So do all the small parts have a coat of oil for assembly? Pins etc

[@cruzo1981]

Great Video.

[@TheRuthlessbulldog]

Thank you Sir :). May I ask what lubricant you were using on your 1911?

[@2253glen]

Perfect vid, thanx.

[@robertprewitt776]

Could you do the exact same video with a gun that has damged/worn parts. Not sure what i should be looking for in terms of wear.

[@anthonylewis9256]

See the way he handled that flat head the way he guided it that's one of the many differences between a hobbyists and a craftsman ..... attention to detail

[@alcb06simplicio20]

amazing

[@murphroberts4891]

"Amazing", folks.

[@watchingyoutube7330]

Great instructional video. I was surprised to see that nothing was lubed. Is that typical? I know there are people in KZbin land that don't believe in oil and others, of course love to drench their guns? What's your opinion on oil? Thanks.

[@Sherpaful]

love all that steel :)

[@cwinsor3085]

Just picked one up and this has eased my concerns about tearing it down. One question, I understand I need to field strip and clean every time I use it, but how often should a full disassembly be performed?

[@murphroberts4891]

1) When it's dirty enough to need it. 2) Whenever else you wish. How the hell does anyone know when your gun needs cleaning?

[@alj.granda8252]

Usually every 5K rounds.

[@CyrusOG666]

Nice Planet Ocean!!

[@rickpadgett405]

What type of tool is being used to push back the safety lock plunger?If you have a armor tough finish should you use brass punches?

[@MrJeffmaster1000]

Nice vid

[@_DST0NE_]

learn from the best..to heck with the rest!

[@ETHRON1]

You can hear the qualiity of the parts as he moves them around. Someday I'll be able to afford a WC 1911.

[@fesbow1]

You forgot to tighten the small allen screw when reassembling the pistol.

[@Sprockets-rockets]

I have an sds (tisas) ordered a wilson flat wire spring, but wont fit the guide rod. Will a Wilson guide rod work for my tisas .45? (Stainless higher end model)

[@gowilsoncombat]

Please send an email to [e-mail] and we'll get your question over to one of our gunsmiths.

[@prepareforadventure6247]

Nice

[@ShotGuntomy]

are you a license gun smith ?

[@mckarov5818]

I removed the ejecter is that fine?

[@Doogerauoy]

What's the blue thing at the end of the guide rod?

[@murphroberts4891]

Let me read from the package I hold in my hand: "The Shock Buff prevents the slide from battering the frame during recoil..."

[@cz1always608]

So I have a Q hope you can give me some feed back .... Please, When I pull my slide all the way back and let it go by feeding it with my hand , the slide gets hung up up on the disconnect . of course if I let go of the slide it just goes into battery . And if I just rack it it racks fine..... Only if I slowly ease the slide forward with my hand having tension on it , does it get hung up... Q will this break in over time ?? Will the Disconnect easy up and not be so hard to press down , so the slide will just ease over it , without hitting it at all. Its taken a few hundred rounds more like 500 to get it to the point were I could push the spring down by hand , still need the wrench to turn the bushing . thank you Jerald K

[@whiteymcwhite9370]

So you’re interfering with how the gun is designed to function and asking why it doesn’t function? Stop...

[@murphroberts4891]

I dont know what a q is but i hope ron does and gets right back to you. everything breaks over time so dont be surprised.and there is probably a reason the recoil spring has sixteens pounds of tension on it when its fully compressed.

[@LouisianaLariat]

I think Ron's done this before.

[@ricksn777]

YEEESSSS!!!!!!!

[@johno9507]

I won't tell anyone that you forgot to do up the Allen screw in the mag well. 😋
