This video provides an expert comparison between the classic 1911 handgun and its modern 2011 iteration, as presented by 1st Shot Tactical. It highlights key differences in magazine design (single-stack .45 ACP vs. double-stack 9mm), resulting capacity, and grip thickness. The instructor's high authority level is evident in their clear explanation of firearm evolution and industry terminology.

TheYankeeMarshal, an established firearms commentator, provides an analytical breakdown of what defines a 'compact' handgun, arguing that grip length and thickness are more critical than barrel length. He uses the Glock 19 and Sig Sauer P229 as primary examples, classifying the Glock 19 as a large compact and the P229 as a small full-size pistol due to its substantial grip dimensions compared to true compacts and even other full-size models. Viewers are encouraged to physically handle these firearms to grasp the differences in scale.
