Information For 1911 Newbies
Greetings, for those of you who are just getting started in the world of the 1911 .45, or pondering doing so, I have some good, solid information to impart to you. I intend to purchase my first 1911 .45 in April. After viewing many YouTube videos of various makes and asking members on this site for their input on a quality low end model, I decided I'm going to purchase the Springfield Armory 1911 .45 Mil Spec model. I have no experience with any brand 1911 and very little knowledge of them. I just finished reading my first book on the 1911, and my second book arrived today. Okay, here's the fun and interesting part, I came across a Vietnam vet, former cop, former armorer and former cop pistol trainer on YouTube with many gun videos of all sorts and six great videos on the 1911.45. I bookmarked all six, but rather than post the links here, I'll simply tell you the name of the guy's channel. It's GunBlue. His 1911 videos are very thorough and detailed. It's very instructive to see someone handle the gun and it's parts while discussing their functions. I think any 1911 newbie will be happy to view the videos as am I!
