IF you own a 1911, watch this video. Massad Ayoob is a genious. I learned something that has changed my view on how I carry with a 1911. I’m sure you will, too.

True happiness is a warm 1911 in .45 ACP, cocked and locked.
What’s in your holster?
It’s amazing he actually brings up the John Wayne safety!

Hey @Owen2, I have not heard of Hell Fire Armory before. I looked up their website and saw 1911 frames available. Hope you don’t mind me asking, did you swap out frame only from another gun or do they sell complete 1911s or maybe something in between?
Nice looking pistol BTW

@Owen2 Nice guns, and some good gun skills! I tried fitting a safety in a 1911 once. Requires more skill than I have, I gave up!
I will hopefully have a Colt in the stable soon. Really looking forward to that one, I think it will be 9mm/.38Superb. 
@John292 That was an interesting video! Lots of gun knowledge between those 2 guys.

Love the video and @Owen very nice. I have recently started down the path to refining some gunsmithing skills, like what you are showing.

Learn 1911 is like the one gun you have to build because it’s like a living thing. Only combat guns can take parts from each other but custom guns have the slide mated to the frame my next 1911 will be a commander I may make it a 9mm
