  • Smith and Wesson SW1911 is loaded with M.I.M. parts and I hate em. They look like plastic metal and they are super britle. Sorry just my opinion.

  • Thanks for the assurance Pete . I 'm an old guy ,just turned 50 and was shocked to find that my new Smith&Wesson 642 had m.i.m. parts . I felt ripped off and worried that the trigger would snap off when I needed it the most . I guess it's hard for old guys to accept change or what most call progress . I still lke and trust my old Smiths more ,but wanted the airweight version to carry in summer months in light clothing . Thanks for explaining .

  • I think I'll accept MIM parts.But if they fail, then I guess I can always get solid steel replacement parts.

  • I was concerned about MIM parts with my GI springfield. I appreciate you taking the time to do the research . This clears up alot of questions I had about the reliability of MIM parts. excellent video as always! Thanks Pete!

  • This shit blows!

  • hey pete, if you do want to change out those grips now it the time to do it. SA has their cross cannons 30% off right now

  • If a MIM part brakes call Brownells and get a new one, and put it in.

    If thats a problem for you buy a Glock like all the other noobs.

  • ☆☆☆☆☆

  • i love my pit, they're awesome dogs.

  • raggidy ass, RAGGIDY ASS dog man lmfao

  • great info and funny vid bro. keep up the good work.

  • how old are your dogs.i have a 1 year old boxer named ka bar

  • @theARMORYchannel springfield customer service is so freakn awesome!! I sent my loaded champion for a sight adjustment they end up giving me a national match barrel and adjust my trigger to 3.5 lbs. it only taken them 2weeks. Im so happy with their service.

  • I like how you kept the tails on the pits... They have the hardest and strongest tails.. do they ever whack the hell outta your legs?

  • lucy is a pretty bitch

  • Pete man

    have you seen the the vid "kimber 1911 troubles"  tnp

    just would like to have your opinion about this

    thanks

  • Pit Bulls are great dogs! The stigma about them being dangerous is just plain wrong. The most aggressive dogs that I've seen are the little ankle-biters. Glad to see a vid on MIM. People just immediately buy the crap about MIM. Good job Pete! And yeah...you are my favorite fat fucking gun reviewer!

  • You got another GI?!? Oh how I missed thee! It just does something to me man. The simplicity and elegance makes me drool.

    And thanks a whole bunch for educating me on MIM parts. I didn't have clue. "Men In Midgets?!?!" "Men In Tights?" No, tights starts with T not M... Wow was I pleased to hear the GI model is hammer forged! But Pete one question... Is she a slut?

  • @aaronscrewme SHE'S MY LITTLE CRACK WHORE! lol

  • @theARMORYchannel BWHAHAHAHAHAAH! You are FREAKIN' unbelievable!

    This guy... This guy's hilarious.

  • 1:20 "Raggedy ass! Raggedy ASS!" OH MY SHIT! 0_0 I gave this video a thumbs up in amazement. I had a 5 min. chuckle-GASM! (eww?) hunched over just laughing my ass off. I'll be sleeping well tonight. Thank you.

    2:09 AHAHA! Take that fucking Butter Lady (my neighbor with a similar dog, and similar attitude). I call her the Butter Lady 'cuz she wears the most skimpy outfits and has so many bubbles of fat on her body. She'll pace in front of my house everyday yapping on the phone. Nosy as hell...

  • @aaronscrewme lol thanks man glad ya liked the video

  • Lol, it's funny, I knew someone who had a chihuahua named pikachu, which they also called a rat, and he and some of his friends owned a gun oddly enough.

  • fyi, your dogs are awesome. it makes me think of what a pussy michael vick is

  • All ruger guns are investment casting as well...

  • I love when you go into a gun shop and you use gun jargon and the sales rep doesn't understand it and they look at "you" like "you" are stupid. Makes me not want to buy from them if they don't understand everything. If you open up a gun shop you need to know your stuff. Hands down!

  • Fuck your judgemental twat neighbor. Your Pits are beautiful. Love your vids. Always anticipating the next one.

  • Good looking pups, thanks for sharing.

  • 2 beautiful pits!! how old are they? the female pits are freakin good lookin

  • Hey, im thinking about getting a Bulgarian AK74 or a real nice 1911 like Colt, Springfield etc. which do you guys think?

  • I hate fuckin ratty ass dogs.

  • Pete, do you do any bowhunting? Because i just found out that its the shit.

  • great video Pete. I appreciate you researching the info. After watching your videos and seeing your 1911's, I have a new appreciation for them. I went to my local store the other day and really looked over the 1911's they had, and have become obsessed with them. They look awesome in your vids, but after really looking them over and holding them, I gotta get one. Keep up the great work.

  • lmao, "all they did was toss it around a little bit" I literaly almost shit my pants laughing when you said that

  • @cutlerylover LOL thanks J

  • @cutlerylover i wouldn't be surprised if you shit your pants every day, for no reason.

  • @aquafinabo come on now, we all know you cant shit your pants for no reason...there MUST be a reason...ate too much? too lazy to go to the bathroom? anal muscle spasms? numness of the rectum? so many possobilites but not one of them for no reason...

  • Metal Injection Molding, orrrrrr pot metal parts!

  • the whipped cream made me laugh man, thats great! Nice pitties, check out the vids of my rescue dog on my page. Pit's are fantastic, beautiful, noble dogs.

  • Lucy is so adorable.

  • MIM parts are fine, but in high priced firearms such as Kimber they should really use less MIM. it is expected that with higher price you deserve higher quality.

    for gods sake Kimbers have a MIM sear.

    once again. not bad in function but there should be little to no MIM. Even Dan Wesson uses no MIM and both the slide and frame are all forged.

  • @espnazi i agree

  • @espnazi I bought a MIMBER raptor II in blue this year and it came with a PLASTIC MAINSPRING HOUSING !! I was so aggravated I traded off the gun, but not before I replaced the mainspring housing. Im gutting my springfield loaded and filling it with ed brown / wilson combat / egw/ harrison machined parts only.

  • Very Interesting video pete, very informative. BTW I eat whip cream the same way.

  • read The 1911 Revolution by Charles E. Petty great article if you can find it nice dogs i got a red nosed pit too

  • meta injection molding has been around since 1950s

  • Put a rubber band on the Shotgun shell and it will stick perfect every time.

  • I know exactly what you mean about the chihuahua lady. I know a few people like that and they get under my skin like nothing else.

  • I love those DAWGS man...

    Nothin wrong with 'feedin the bitches some cream'... If you get my drift.

  • awww cute doggys! I am a softy for dogs, don't know why. Anyways, thanks for the info, I am looking at getting a 1911 next fall, it will be my first full size hand gun. BTW, do you know what the Bersa 1911's are made of?

  • @Peidmonte89 NOT A FAN OF BERSA GUNS I SEEN A SLIDE BLOW TO PEICES

  • @Peidmonte89 do you mean the firestorm/metroarms 1911's? they are forged and cnc'd if those are the one you are talking about. I have one and highly reccomend them.

  • Thanks for another great video! I want to get my 1st 1911 next year to celebrate it's 100th year. I really appreciate the research that you put into this video.

  • youre getting famous Pete.

  • Mimber (Kimber) is the manufacturer that has the most MIM parts in a 1911. The problem with guns with cast or mim parts is they wont last as long as machined parts. For people that shoot their guns 100 rounds a year is fine but for someone that shoots 10000 rounds a year is not .MIM parts break easier.

  • Good information, I am so tired or reading on the net about everyone worrying about the MIM. Why would a Gun Manufacturing put out a weapon that was going to fail, as it would be marketplace suicide. A great book if you don't have it yet is a gun digest book call 1911 the first 100 years by Patrick Sweeney, is the best on 1911's I have ever read. Keep up the good work.

  • i know its insignificant, but i feel any video is incomplete without a closing lol. great video though. thanks for the helpful information!

  • @gcgenerals22 ill work on that thanks

  • Hahahahahahahah pocket rat........ that was a funny ass pic.

  • @Eslamizar lol thanks glad ya liked it

  • I agree the Remington R1 is a nice gun but today's Remington is not the Remington Rand of WWII just like today's Springfield Armory is not the same as the original. 

  • @Nakanokalronin but still REM makes very high quality guns.

    REM 700 one of the best bolt action rifles there is.

  • @theARMORYchannel If i remember right Remington 700 was the militarys #1 sniper rifle for a while until the barret came out.

  • @theARMORYchannel Oh I know, its why I said the R1 is a nice gun. I've had a few Remington 870s that where great shotguns. I just wanted to say that The Remington today is not the same Remington Rand that made 1911s during WWII thats all.

  •  I treat my dogs good.... LMFAO !!!

  • wuts up dude your red nose pits are real good lookin ,i got a red nose pit hes 8 years old never had one problem attacking anyone and remind u i have 6 kids,anyhow im goeing to get a springfield 1911 it will be my first 1911 i dont know wut model though

  • i had to pause the video on the pocket rat. was so damn funny!

  • Could you do a review on a rock island 1911 i just traded my smith&wesson m&p for one and i love it. There very reliable and accurate its as simply as load point and shot and you hit your target every time with no jams. Plus are 450.00 there i think the cheapest 1911 around well i hope you do a review on one if nots its cool.

  • i ment what about kimber as far as are they cast or hammer forged ?? sorry for not being more clear thank you for a fast response though !!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU ARE DOING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @702CitizenArmory well i dont mention Kimber or Colt cause there the high end guns and i think everybody knows there steel. this video is for the low coast 1911s.

    thanks for the comment

  • 2 tree hugging douche bags disliked this video.

  • @blaisetighe15 trust me its a jealous friend! Bills having the same trouble.

    the dude thinks we are stupid. lol but i know its him.

  • dude ur a badass i love your channel, and ur freakin real im in cali and everything is illegal

  • What about the Norino 1911? I think that is the cheapest 1911 you can get. $350 new! Is that one cast. I want a 1911 so I can put the .22LR conversion kit on it. That way I don't just have a 1911 that I stare at all day.

  • A pit bull killed my cousin's chewowa recently. his dog went under one of his neighbors fence and into their yard. Those chewowa's are mean little dog's....but that pit bull threw him around like a rag doll. I never liked my cousin's dog because he bit my daughter and my wife...but I did feel sorry for my cousin.

  • my cock is a MIM part!!!

  • hehe, I'm happy for ya getting another G.I. =) I did a youtube search yesterday on the series 70 Colt, and your video popped up. Do you still have that Colt. I was watching it and I admit, I'm sooo jealous, lol. First 10 sec of this video made me crack the f up. You are so dang funny. Keep em coming bro.

  • I don't think Dan Wesson has MIM in their Heritage and Valor models. High end production pistols in my opinion.

  • my shep/lab would love whipped cream, name is Cobalt. notin wrong with spoiling the pooches :)

  • I don't know why you would say Sig Sauer's sights. Because Sig doesn't make sights, mags, lights, or grips. That's all out sourced by other well know companys like trijicon, mecgar, surefire, etc...They just put Sig's name on it and charge you double. I don't agree with it, but that's how business is done.

  • @clap5 dude just because sig dont make them dont mean there not MIM. who ever makes them there MIM

  • @theARMORYchannel

    I'm not disagreeing with you. I know this first hand because I work at Sig. I just don't want people to get confused about what we produce from our shop, from that parts we get from outside contractors. I guess I just get defensive about it when people say something about Sig.

  • yo pete where can you get those magazines man? im getting a GI in od green

  • @renagade12 JUST GO TO MEC GAR MAGS

  • @theARMORYchannel

    thanks pete.. 

  • To be honest the ONLY shitty 1911's I've heard of are some of the Firestorms made by Llama in Spain but other than that I think every other 1911 is made well however there's obviously much higher detailed ones but I love my Armscor and it works beautifully and it's fully loaded so I'm happy.

  • "Reminds me of some girl I used to know"...LOL. Me too come to think of it! Can't wait for the shirt... Another great vid Pete!!

  • @gstrader73  thanks

  • I'm glad you go through the trouble you do so the rest of us can make sound decisions. Keep it up man.

  • @chaff5 thanks man

  • hahaha pocket rat, u crack me up

  • lol pocket rat! I love it. Those little suckers are usually more aggressive than larger dogs. I really like that pistol. great vid.

  • @IsbianBlackheart yup lol

  • very nice thumbs up man.

  • i swear you were going to say hi point are full of mim parts lol!

  • Dude I see you're a Flyers fan, idk if you're watching the PIT vs PHI game but Bobrovsky is a beast dude. You guys have a good future if he continues playing the way he is. Very cool videos too dude, i enjoy them a lot.

  • Great Vids Pete your very informative and to the point and I respect that bro keep up the good work.

  • I have a black Labrador Retriever

  • @danfive555 - Haha dude that's what I was thinking at first before he mentioned it.. glad I watched the whole video before posting.. MIM = metal injected molding

  • ahhh comon pete your in shape... round is a shape

  • lol! awesome dogs!

  • I agree, beautiful dogs. Thanks for the awesome channel. Keep up the good work.

  • That pocket rat joke with the picture was brilliant. I laughed my ass off. LMAO!!!!!

  • @jasonsg4111  thanks J

  • God look at that eye candy. I was looking into 1911's [I first fell in love with them back in FACE OFF, if you have seen that movie, the dual gold 1911's with the black grip, gold dragon art grip, and gold metal used by castor troy] - However I found out that it was made by springfield armory, and it would cost me 4500 for one of them X.X since its a full custom. I can always dream haha.

  • what about kimber ?

  • @702CitizenArmory steel or alum frame depends on witch one ya get.

  • Have you got the number of that girl you used to know?

  • @MrPlopfest i wish LOL

  • Nice lookin dogs dude. Its funny how some people look at certain breeds and suspect the worst. Just goes to show how disinformation about dogs is a paradigm problem. In actuality its not uncommon at all for the smaller "pocket rat" breeds to have more behavioral issues than the larger breeds. Its not the breed thats the problem its the person behind the dog. Nice info on the MIM parts!

  • @xxFRANKENZTEINxx  thanks dude

  • i wanted you to say if your gun is loaded with mim parts you got a really raggedy ass cheap raggedy 1911 lol

  • @Gunluver1  LOL!!!

  • ★★★★★

  • @MadBadVoodo  THANKS BRO!! great shirts

  • nice vidieo and nice dogs

  • The Kimber MIM parts are the hammer, sear, firing pin stop, slide stop, grip safety, thumb safety, disconnecter, mag release, sights, swartz safety parts, and a few other small parts. The slide and frame are forged. Dan Wesson 1911s use no MIM parts.

  • @worldaccordingtojim good info but like i said there not and issue anyway.

  • @theARMORYchannel I agree, I own two with no issues. Just thought I would add to your video.

  • @worldaccordingtojim Are you possitive about the frame & slide on the Kimber? All the MIM prts u mentioned I believe I can live with, w/no problem wat so ever and I'll gladly pay the $930. (sale price) in 2003 I payed 4 my Eclipse CLE II tht Kimber only produced 279 of... Maybe some 1 can reserch on the amount of MIM an cast prts are used in world clss Hi end $150,000 PLUS!! luxery & sports cars of the world?

  • Good lookin dogs bro! Congrats on the GI!

  • hi points have all mim parts

  • @zachsmith47 and all cheap cast! horrible

  • Got the shirt in the mail already.. Looks great..thnx

  • @MrMoregasm  sweet

  • The GI is a great 1911 for the price! I love mine & would never part with it.

  • @mmsi1002 yup its a great 1911 for 500.00

  • great vid Pete

  • @FABAIN50CAL  thanks man

  • i need to get a new shirt. mine shrunk and i cant even put it on anymore

  • @aquafinabo it shouldn't have. there pre shrunk

  • @theARMORYchannel Yea, I'm a muscular guy so idk. I still have it tho. I might try and do something with it in my gun room. I like how you put yours on that board. What kind of spray do you use again?

  • is the remington r1 worth the money or should i get a different 1911 pete?

  • @malibujew2 dude id just get the SA GI

  • @malibujew2 For $150 more you can get a springfield loaded or kimber custom II. Get the one of those.

  • Holy sh** that rats Freaking FUGLY!!!!!

  • man pete the more i see videos of 1911's makes me want to ditch the idea of buying a glock and buy a 1911.

  • @bigdirty59 ITS NOT EVEN A QUESTION FOR ME. 1911 ALL THE WAY

  • nice to see you got your 1911 back, if you go to the range please record it

  • @BALJIT147 yeah man i missed it big time

  • i always have to defend pitbulls from idiotic peoples fears, i used to have a husky, i want to get a pitbull one day, just to show people how harmless that they are

  • thanks pete for the new vid, everytime i sign on and i see that u posted a new vid..makes my day that much better.

  • i clean peoples houses, and this one person we clean for has these two little furry chihuahua's that are constantly just yapping for hours at a time and the old bitch who lives there never tells them to shut the fuck up... i wanna just go out there and dropkick them.

  • some day those dogs will get fatter than you.... but i hope they dont get fatter than me loool

  • @razback14 thanks buddy. lol

  • Hey Pete! Great video! What made you decide on getting a full length instead of the champion you had?

  • @Ultimatemxcn i didn't like the way the champion looked at the end of the muzzle it looks like they just chopped it down. but still a good gun

  • what about S&W?

  • your videos are swell. i want a 1911
