This video provides a shooting impression of a circa 1914 Colt .25 ACP Vest Pocket auto. The presenter demonstrates its accuracy at a short distance and discusses common criticisms of these small firearms, arguing they can be surprisingly effective. Future videos are planned to test its performance at longer ranges.
The circa 1914 Colt .25 ACP Vest Pocket auto, despite its small size and basic sights, can be surprisingly accurate at close range. The presenter challenges the common perception that these pocket pistols are ineffective, demonstrating their potential for accurate shooting.
This video demonstrates the ballistic performance and accuracy of a Colt Pocket .25 ACP pistol at 15 yards. The presenter chronographs both standard and hollowpoint .25 ACP ammunition, noting surprising velocities. He then tests the pistol's accuracy from a bench rest, achieving a tight group that impresses him.
This guide details the field stripping process for a 1911 pistol, presented by Roy Huntington, Publisher of American Handgunner. It covers essential safety checks, step-by-step disassembly, and reassembly, emphasizing techniques to prevent damage. An alternative 'cheat' method for faster disassembly is also demonstrated, along with advice on using specialized tools for tight components.
This video showcases an exceptionally rare find: a first-generation 1873 Colt Single Action Peacemaker, discovered via metal detecting in Arizona. The expert speaker details its museum-quality condition, dating it to 1875, and analyzes the authentic patina and wear, including specific gutta-percha grip details and muzzle wear from holster friction. The firearm's discovery context among homestead ruins adds to its historical narrative.
This guide, presented by Roy Huntington, Editor of American Handgunner Magazine, outlines an efficient '5-minute clean' for modern semi-automatic pistols like the Glock 26/27. It emphasizes that over-cleaning is unnecessary and can cause premature wear. The process focuses on targeted cleaning of critical areas like the barrel and slide rails, with minimal lubrication applied only to high-friction points. Proper function checks after reassembly are also highlighted.
