Hey now, I'm not dissing 1911's, they're my favorite pistols and I hate Glock fanboys with a passion. I'm just not comfortable with the frame being made in country with lower quality standards. I also guess I'm a bit pissed a Springfield, a maker of some of the finest firearms in American history, would go low and outsource.
I would be happier if the entire firearm was USA made but it still held up fine. Besides, Springfield Armory is a private company that bought the name. It is not the same Springfield Armory that built firearms for the US armed forces.
What, are you using C4 in your loads? In person, I've never seen a standard 1911 do this. I have seen some custom jobs get stuck on the slide. but it will usually take only a tap to move it forward.
@tcdahn7 The only time I've seen a problem with a 1911 is people testing crazy handloads this stuff was turning his colt into a flamethrower quite entertaining from the next lane over but it would occasionally result in a malfunction. I came to the conclusion from the various sized fireballs he was testing handloads was there only a short time and left. Personally only two things that caused malfunctions were in combination limp wrist and 185gr wadcutter ammo. 230gr = no probs.
@frankthebricklayer Taurus firearms are made at the Taurus factory in Brazil while the Springfields are made in IMBEL in Brazil mostly just the frames and slides and are then shipped to Springfield for assembly using American forged (not metal injection molded) parts unlike Taurus with their MIM parts.
So it wasn't a squib load? (Which would have been really bad!) I had a squib in my PX-4 Storm. Luckily it didn't eject the casing (Thank God!) Had to pound the bullet out with a cleaning rod and a hammer. So what actually happened?
somehow i don't believe that it took a SLEDGE HAMMER to free the barrel. A good gun smith yes. A sledge hammer!!! really? I don't think so. And if you did use a sledge hammer your an idiot.
I have a Lee and load 45 with it. How was it responsible for this? Just wanting to know for my reference. Glad to know your gun got up and running again and you did not get hurt.
The shooter asks for a "rod" then the range officer says "squib", the rounds were likly loaded too light, now shooter guy has to drive the bullet out of the barrel... that guns out of the race.
Yugoslav M57 in 7.62 TOK FTW! an extra round in the clip (vs. the .45) and sooooper penetration! (will penetrate a kevlar helmet, which no other lead-based pistol round will do) If you don't want deep, frangible bullets are available for your nightstand gun.
@oOBunnyackOo 10mm is a nice powerful round but controlability and over penetration are an issue in defense situations. Other than that they are a blast to shoot.
@stevo642007 why does someone always assume if guns are being shot that it must be a "combat situation" dozens of tournaments and shooting styles have nothing to do with "combat situations" and i bet most of you people who think like this have never seen combat and dont have the balls to do so
@QuicDra yeah if you need to compensate for a little dick maybe.......... the .40 is proven to be a better round hence the cops switched from .45 to .40 years ago when they realized the .40 was alot more accurate and packs nearly the same punch. Ive had both and i'll stick with my 40
@LSfreak84 the .40 has not been proven to be superior round...actually it is a compromise round...you have CLOSE to the stopping power of a .45 and CLOSE to the higher capacity of a 9mm.
Everyone has their own opinion, and it will be debated from now til the end of time...you like what you like..so use it...no need to bother anyone else about what they like.
Plus, it's creepy to talk about another dudes dick!
@stoots74 The .40 short and wear is actually a pussy round designed for women and pansy men that couldn't handle the 10mm auto. If you want to be a girly man, shoot the .40, real men shoot 10mm or .45acp.
@njkrmt Dude if you think the gun you shoot makes you a man, then you are nothing close to figuring out what being a man is.
I carry and shoot a 9mm Glock 34 on a daily basis, both for work, and for protecting me and mine. I trust my life to the 9mm daily, but put any other gun in my hands and I will gladly turn it into a tool for defense, and use it to stop those who wish to do me harm, or harm those that I serve and protect...I am a man, but not because of the size of the round I shoot.
@LSfreak84 since when is the .40s&w more accurate then the 45acp? I guess it would depend on whos shooting but more times then not the 45acp is a much smoother platform to shoot then the snappy .40 s&w. I know about alot of departments switching over their 9mm to .40 s&w, as far as .45acp goes since when was that the primary carry to the masses of cops on the street. I like both but if i have a choice with the proper pistol its 45acp.
@LSfreak84 "the cops" did not switch from 45 to 40.. In the early and mid 80s when police started switching to semi-auto, most all departments went to 9mm...then after the .40 hit the streets and was a proven performer..the rest was history.
You had SOME SWAT and ERT teams that used 45...but not ALL, or even the majority
The .40 is not more accurate, no matter how you load it. Sorry, but your info is just wrong wrong wrong
@EESASTORM i use the Hornady LNL as well, the powder drop is very accurate, mine throws conistent, when it does vary it's only by +- 1/10th of a grain. People who use Lee powder dippers are in for some trouble, as they can be off by a whole grain, and thats enough to exceed maximum pressure levels especially if your already loading hot.
I like Lee products, but their progressive press just doesn't impress me. I saw a range officer blow up two guns in a weeks time because his powder return failed. The Glock was actually salvageable, new barrel, firing pin, slide stop, mag release and I don't recall what else, but his 1911 was a totall write-off.
@EESASTORM so the round is wat fucked up the chamber/barrel?? bcuz i have a colt1911a1 us army issue from vietnam and i shoot 230 grain fmj's and it sounds unusually loud ui'll go deaf with no ear protection back 2 the subject was it a reload rnd?
@TrifeThaDon That's funny. :) I take that you're being sarcastic since the Glock21's in 40s&w and .45 are the most infamous handgun in the world for blowing up.
@korn1536 when used by dumbass people who shoot lead and reloads in the hand book it says not 2 use either can cause damage or blow up if you run wat you are suposed to there are no problems theres a gun Glock at my local range with more than 300,000 rounds thru it it has no blown up dats a 45 and my .40cal has over 15,000 not even a hickup runs like a champ of all the so kalled blown up glocks they were kuz of the owner using cheap barrels,lead,over charging reloads!!!!!!
@TrifeThaDon These were police officer's duty guns I was referring to, so reloads weren't used and it wasn't the owner's cheap barrels. It was Glock's unsupported, cheap barrels and half-assed design. They have since fixed the problem in those guns.
@korn1536 I don't think they completely fixed it. Plus you should be able to run cheap federal ammunition through a gun without it blowing up on you. I avoid guns that don't have any steel between the barrel and trigger finger to shield your hand. Even my polymer frame LCP has steel protecting my finger. Glocks just have two separate lugs to guide the slide and nothing but plastic between the barrel and your fingers.
@TrifeThaDon If a person has any clue about reloading and they're following the cook book it's going to be better ammo than most manufacturers put out. I think just about all gun warranties say to only use factory ammo they're just covering their asses for people who want to experiment with magnum loads in their autos.
Hello. So what happened to the Springfield? Did you have to replace the barrel? - Where do you purchase barrels to replace those as I have a springfield that might need the barrel replaced. Thanks Sincerely, JAMES. Nice Video.
Hi EESASTORM & thanks for the reply. You mean you just "swapped it out"? Did you have to do any modification in the way of fitting or forming it - or are the Wilson barrels made to just install right into the springfield slides? Thank You for your advice. Sincerely, JAMES.
(DO NOT confuse w/ Rock River Arms- super quality!) They are OK for the $ .Made by ArmsCor in the PI. Slide and frame are 4140 steel, some of the parts look cast or MIM molded. I question the heat treating throughout but if you are not going to put lots of rounds through it it should work fine. See their website
It was the 'twink baffle valve' that jammed that rifle up. They should only be greased with pure hog lard. Another gun fire-leg destroyed by damn WD-40.
Learn gun matinience and keep lots of salted hog lard on hand, I wouldn't be caught dead without out. Great on Glops too, just for you hi-tech macho killers...hot damn.
I don't think any arms manufacturer warranty will cover anything hand load related. In fact if you read the warranty, use of hand loads will null and void ALL parts of the warranty
Para Ord Expert G.I. RETAILS for $595. And I am sure my dog cannot chew off the grip frame like he did on my G17. I personally have had 3 plastic recoil spring guide rods fail on Glocks, seen 2 others.Springfield offers the exact same version of the FBI gun from the Custom Shop, you can buy all versions of the Kimber SIS from Kimber . PROPERLY fitted, 1911s are accurate and reliable.All top IPSC, IDPA, USPSA Champions use 1911 platform -Why? Because the are unreliable and non durable, Right?
StSimon- So how do the1911competitors keep winning if their gun is less reliable? Para Ord expert RETAILS for $595 w/ match bbl.Search1000 Round Glock Torture Test Part One & watch the plastic guide rod fail & 3 malf. 17 rd mags in 14 minutes. Watch Para Ord 1000 round challenge. 1000 rd in 10:44minutes, 0 malfunctions & 10 round mags
What part of the NIB Para Ord $595 MSRP are you not getting? Notice the out of the box Glock malf when fired weak hand (limp wristing) I have seen it HUNDREDS of times. It is a phenom of the flexing polymer frame. I have seen DOZENS of PD on the Qual line who never had a problem with any other pistol have multiple failure to go into battery the moment they p/u a Glock.
It may have fewer parts but many are inferior PLASTIC parts that have failed under HARD USE.Spring guide rods fail& jam slide,plastic sights wear down won't zero,mag catch fails, mag feed lips wear, metal slide stop wears mag lips& follower,trigger pin walking and binding trigger, trigger components.etc Glocks are good but there is no free lunch. I have been shooting 1911s since 1979, Glocks since1987. I don't buy low cost EMERGENCY gear.If your life is on the line is COST the main criteria?
Polymer is EXTREMELY ROBUST & STRONG? Did you just really post that? Is that why my dog CHEWED UP the first Glock I owned? This video of a 1911that takes a double charge & goes back into service with only new Bbl. How is that a 1911 FAILURE? Fire a double charge in a Glock. any cal. I dare you. It will blow up in spectacular fashion and be completely destroyed, seen it 4 times. As for Torture Testing guess 100 years as a service pistol all over the world means 0. All those folks were fools

Bummer. Sorry sight to see a 1911 go down. At least it didn't have a catastrophic failure and injure you!

Hello. So what happened to the Springfield? Did you have to replace the barrel? - Where do you purchase barrels to replace those as I have a springfield that might need the barrel replaced. Thanks Sincerely, JAMES. Nice Video.

I just picked up a Wilson barrel and swapped it out.
Easy as pie.
EESASTORM 2 years ago
Hi EESASTORM & thanks for the reply. You mean you just "swapped it out"? Did you have to do any modification in the way of fitting or forming it - or are the Wilson barrels made to just install right into the springfield slides? Thank You for your advice. Sincerely, JAMES.
buzzclark 2 years ago
The only fiddly part was selecting the right links as they come in various lengths. I think I tried two different sets before the timing was right.
Easy as pie operation.

I'd rather have a XD45 for reliability.

@KB3MMX XDs do NOT beat out a good 1911 for reliability.

I have a Springfield M1911A1 as well. What do you think caused the barrel to do that? Moisture? It looks dry out there..
reaperflynn3 2 years ago
about 8 grains of Tightgroup will do it every time my friend!
I do not suggest trying it.
EESASTORM 2 years ago
So it was a bad reload? Was that the stock barrel?
Springr1911 2 years ago
so what did you end up doing with it
crackatooth 2 years ago
I ended up using a small sledge hammer to get the barrel out.
Then...........put in a new barrel and I was back to shooting it.
Since then I have purchased a new IPSC gun (Tanfoglio Limited Custom ) and use the old 1911 for IPDA
EESASTORM 2 years ago
so have you herd of the Rock Island Armory 1911 its made in PI and its only 495$ where Im at Im thinking of getting it
crackatooth 2 years ago
I have heard of them but have never seen them up here in Canada. Their ARs have a very good rep here however.
EESASTORM 2 years ago
crack- I have had 2 Rock Island Armory 1911s
(DO NOT confuse w/ Rock River Arms- super quality!) They are OK for the $ .Made by ArmsCor in the PI. Slide and frame are 4140 steel, some of the parts look cast or MIM molded. I question the heat treating throughout but if you are not going to put lots of rounds through it it should work fine. See their website

It was the 'twink baffle valve' that jammed that rifle up. They should only be greased with pure hog lard. Another gun fire-leg destroyed by damn WD-40.
Learn gun matinience and keep lots of salted hog lard on hand, I wouldn't be caught dead without out. Great on Glops too, just for you hi-tech macho killers...hot damn.

Did Springfield's lifetime warranty cover the barrel?
kamaujackson811 2 years ago
I never even asked.
At that point I had about 15000 rounds through that gun and it did not owe me anything.
EESASTORM 2 years ago
Thanks. I wasn't sure about the amount of use it had been through.
kamaujackson811 2 years ago
@kamaujackson811
Now that I think about it..........that was actually a replacment barrel.
The first one had a separation of the lug. That would put that barrel at about 6000 rounds.
But again.......it was my fault 100%
EESASTORM 2 years ago
I don't think any arms manufacturer warranty will cover anything hand load related. In fact if you read the warranty, use of hand loads will null and void ALL parts of the warranty
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Thanks....good to know.

Para Ord Expert G.I. RETAILS for $595. And I am sure my dog cannot chew off the grip frame like he did on my G17. I personally have had 3 plastic recoil spring guide rods fail on Glocks, seen 2 others.Springfield offers the exact same version of the FBI gun from the Custom Shop, you can buy all versions of the Kimber SIS from Kimber . PROPERLY fitted, 1911s are accurate and reliable.All top IPSC, IDPA, USPSA Champions use 1911 platform -Why? Because the are unreliable and non durable, Right?
sbd45acp 2 years ago
1911s offer the fastest follow up shot, per the trigger, and are made so tightly, they are very accurate.
Thats why theyre popular at shooting competitions.
But accuracy comes at a price....reliability
Unless youre an enthusiast or can spend big bucks on a 1911 to run reliably, youre SOL
Glocks and Sigs are Half the price and perform better, while not at competition shooting, but in home defense, Military Defense and by Police Depts.
Navy Seals, DHS, SAS, Coast Guard etc

StSimon- So how do the1911competitors keep winning if their gun is less reliable? Para Ord expert RETAILS for $595 w/ match bbl.Search1000 Round Glock Torture Test Part One & watch the plastic guide rod fail & 3 malf. 17 rd mags in 14 minutes. Watch Para Ord 1000 round challenge. 1000 rd in 10:44minutes, 0 malfunctions & 10 round mags
sbd45acp 2 years ago
The Reliable 1911s, are $1000-$2000 guns!
Para has lots of MIM parts and quality is hit/miss as are many 1911s
The better shooters use $1500+ guns
LA Swat uses a $2700 1911 gun retail
You kid yourselves
Glock invented the Torture Test!
As did SIG.
Glock is a solid gun..plug n play, out of box
Only issues are reloads, few had issues, manufactured by new machines & were dealt with. What you describe is an anomaly.
Glock service is free and they have excellent QC and customer service.
StSimonOfTrent 2 years ago
Notice the Glock still works with Broken parts..
Other guns dont.
They dont require the servicing and maintenance of other guns.
Theres only 34 parts in the entire gun, almost half less than 1911
Fewer parts=Less go wrong
Small handed men dont like Glocks and limp wrist, causing failures.
Fatigue can cause failures or 'malfunctions'
Doesnt look like equiptment failure but operator error
I think thats what you allude to in your video
Shooter took a substitute, as he got tired, gun got hot
StSimonOfTrent 2 years ago
What part of the NIB Para Ord $595 MSRP are you not getting? Notice the out of the box Glock malf when fired weak hand (limp wristing) I have seen it HUNDREDS of times. It is a phenom of the flexing polymer frame. I have seen DOZENS of PD on the Qual line who never had a problem with any other pistol have multiple failure to go into battery the moment they p/u a Glock.
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Dont hold a gun like a girl and it will go boom..
Even men forget that sometimes..
Glocks have had more torture testing, with SIG a runner up, than any other gun, with predictable results
Take Grandpas gun, i dont care.
Your gunsmith will be glad you did
StSimonOfTrent 2 years ago
@StSimonOfTrent Do your homework, Sig is much better than Glock for reliability.
Plisky 2 years ago
It may have fewer parts but many are inferior PLASTIC parts that have failed under HARD USE.Spring guide rods fail& jam slide,plastic sights wear down won't zero,mag catch fails, mag feed lips wear, metal slide stop wears mag lips& follower,trigger pin walking and binding trigger, trigger components.etc Glocks are good but there is no free lunch. I have been shooting 1911s since 1979, Glocks since1987. I don't buy low cost EMERGENCY gear.If your life is on the line is COST the main criteria?
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Polymer is extremely robust and strong
The Irony is that this is a video of a 1911 that Fails!
Glocks are used by 60% of all US Police and most the Worlds Police...their reputation is damn near spotless, even with some retards handling them.
The misfires you had in mentioned vid could simply have been weak loaded shells or weak grip & wrist lock. I dont know, as I didnt hold the gun.
My Glock works, I clean if and when I feel like it. It always works, provided I use commercial ammo
StSimonOfTrent 2 years ago
Polymer is EXTREMELY ROBUST & STRONG? Did you just really post that? Is that why my dog CHEWED UP the first Glock I owned? This video of a 1911that takes a double charge & goes back into service with only new Bbl. How is that a 1911 FAILURE? Fire a double charge in a Glock. any cal. I dare you. It will blow up in spectacular fashion and be completely destroyed, seen it 4 times. As for Torture Testing guess 100 years as a service pistol all over the world means 0. All those folks were fools
