How Chuck Norris Chambers a 1911

One-handed inertia chambering of a cartridge with a 1911.

Thanks to cory07ink's video "How i do the Chuck Norris reload" ( http://youtu.be/eipgfahbZ9k ) for inspiring me to give it a try. These were my first 2 ever successful attempts.

Check out Cory's channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/cory07ink

Trivia:
1. I first saw this trick in person. Mr. Oscar Gabuya ("Ka Oca"), gunsmith of the Firepower Gun Club in Las Piñas, demonstrated this technique in front of me with a single stack 1911.
2. Next time I saw this trick was on this video (user: 9mmAlpha): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqyxP3_am3g
3. Cory's video inspired me to actually pull it off.

Nice one man. Solid! Nice FLGR by the way. Haha. Laughtrip man. Your face. Intensity. HAHAHA.

@TomHuang3

:)) HAHAHA. I know what you mean. I look ridiculous but these will be my memories. I haven't been able to do it again to this date. It's actually harder than it looks. Haha.

Nice video bro..saw it done on Glocks..but you did it with a 1911..nice! Got to try this one.. ;)

@taledski1911

Go for it! Haha. :)

I bet I looked really funny in my attempts (I did you guys a favor and edited most of my attempts out). :))

I think I injured my right shoulder but nothing beats the feeling of doing the impossible.

I'd like to see you do it with the hammer down and the gun going back into battery by itself. nice effort, though!

@plechatam

:)) Thanks for the comment! I don't think I've reached that level yet. I can't do it consistently with the 9mm 1911. I tried doing this with my 1911 GI .45 (standard recoil spring for the .45 ACP is a bit heavier) and I haven't been able to pull it off yet.

I've seen someone do this trick with a Glock 20 (10mm) with the striker uncocked (gun was dry fired). After seeing that, I thought to myself that anything is possible. Haha.

After all those attempts, I think I injured my shoulder.

@TheAgeOfExploration I'm sure man. I remember when we tried it before. Frustrations. Where did you get your full length guide rod? Gun show?

[L1NG4N]

its not too hard once u get the hang of it, I've done it with my ruger p89 a few times, but it really works the shoulder after a while.

[plechatam]

@TheAgeOfExploration I believe it! That's not easy to do . I think the hammer being down would make it near impossible.

Haha that was cool.
