  • At the end, it looked like you held the hammer loosely and pulled the trigger to release the tension or something. Am I right?

  • @tiecuando

    Yes I dropped the hammer softly. No real reason I suppose, but if say you have a round in the chamber and wanted to lower the hammer, you can do this slowly and the gun will not fire. The firing pin is inertia driven, and will not touch the primer unless the hammer falls with full momentum.

  • Nice Job in explanation and execution...

    You talk about one brilliant design? What a great gun the 1911's are !!!

    I carry A Colt Defender .45 with a ultra light frame and consider it a magnificent "everyday" carry piece.

    Reasonably light with serious stopping power and minimal barrel rise.

  • good vedio 

  • Thanks for the help brentnowell. I have a Colt M1991A With Hogue grips on it.

    Any idea what it is worth? 90% I guess, has been shot 100 rounds maby.

    Also is it OK to "dry fire" my colt? 1 more..... I have a Colt Woodsman 22.

    semi auto looks really old and in really good shape. Any idea of the value of this?

    Thanks for your help

  • how much is dat gun

  • ok you gotta tell me! were did you get the frame. how much was it. and do you know were i could get a cheap slide and reciver?!?! oh and what style do you recomend?

  • first time i disassembled my commander completely and reassembled it again.

    would never made it without your help. XD

    thanx for this from germany.

  • metallica in the background Im gettin a 1911

  • @artavelar480480 My advice would be to check your recoil spring. It's very likely that you have it in backwards. The tighter, closed end should be on the guide rod, and the looser, open end with the coil sticking out should be towards the front of the slide. Good luck.
