Thank you, I really enjoyed that. I've never watched a Brownell's video before that one. I don't know who that young man is but he did a nice job with that. I'm just crossing fingers now that most don't hate him like Joe Buck.Originally Posted by Tokarev

Well. one might suspect that Caleb Savant climbed to the position as a Brownell's tech guru on the shoulders of his mother, Marilyn vos Savant, so like Buck he faces the specter of accusations of nepotism throughout his career.Thank you, I really enjoyed that.

I have to disagree with this. My understanding is that 1911s were built using parts that were gauged, not fitted. So they rattled, but they functioned. I'm guessing that you could disassembled a thousand 1911s, put their parts into component bins, mixed them up, reassembled them and they'd work.
The issue with 1911s is that when people started accurizing them, they began running into problems.
I always like to point out that aircraft jet engines and automotive engines that go 200k are assembled without fitting. I am pretty sure the firearms industry is more like a sharp stick and a rock than we would like to think. Terms like "blueprinting" rifle actions only infers they were not built to specification, or that the specified tolerance was generous.
OTOH, I always liked this video:

This is correct. Going in to WWII, when 1911 manufacturing was apportioned to multiple manufacturers enlisted in the war effort, specs were such that parts from each manufacturer were put through mixed-and-match tests to ensure interchangeability and function.
Before post-war competition shooting turned the 1911 into a tuner's tool, it was very much the Glock of its day.
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Paraphrasing Wyatt Earp: The first shot is twice as important as the second shot, the 2nd shot is twice as important as the 3rd shot, the 3rd shot is twice as important as the 4th shot, the 4th shot is twice as important as the 5th shot…
Internet rumor is that Garand Thumb will post a review Sunday.

That should be worthwhile, both because his content is definitely better than most of the dreck on Youtube and because he has some experience with and fondness for Hi Powers.
I'm pretty much that way myself.
