This video, presented satirically by Ian McCollum as 'Gun Jesus,' critiques the modification of John Browning's original 1911 design. It argues that excessive aftermarket parts and 'gamesmen' corrupted the 1911, leading to unreliability. The narrative then contrasts this with modern polymer pistols like Glocks, which are presented as functional due to their resistance to modification, despite perceived ergonomic flaws and safety concerns. The video concludes with a call to return to original 1911 specifications for restored reliability.

This guide details the field stripping procedure for a Browning Hi Power pistol. It covers safety checks, removing the slide catch by manipulating the safety lever, separating the slide from the frame, and then removing the recoil spring guide and barrel from the slide. The process is presented as straightforward and highlights design similarities to the 1911.

This guide details the installation of the Wilson Combat Group Gripper, an aftermarket part designed to enhance 1911 pistol accuracy by improving barrel-to-slide lockup consistency. The process involves field stripping the firearm, replacing the stock barrel link with the new component, and assembling a two-piece guide rod system. Proper installation ensures consistent lockup, contributing to improved shot placement. Instruction is provided by a Brownells Gunsmith, indicating a high level of expertise.
