I posted a similar thread in GD but many posters probably don't own guns let alone a 1911. Beat this  |

Uh, not to be a bitch, but...
He forgot the crucial first step of CHECKING THE CHAMBER... on camera at least... Just picked it up, pointed the muzzle up his nose and got after it. 
Considering it's way easier to disassembler with the hammer cocked, too... Just Sayin' |

Stopped some 31 seconds into video, he's not that fast and there is a faster way of dissasembly, reassembly by removing and installing slide, barrel, bushing, guide rod together. If equipped with FGR it's done even quicker. Waiting for your faster video |

I had some trijicon nightsights out on and now the barrel bushing is pretty tight. |

I had some trijicon nightsights out on and now the barrel bushing is pretty tight. sounds like the roll pin got pushed too far into the slide, causing interference with the bushing, if it bothers you file it down next time you have the bushing out. OP, your gun is loose as tits, new or not. That said, as i can't be arsed to make a video, I'll paint a pretty word picture....with your gun empty, in your right hand, rack the slide as you apply pressure with your forefinger to the slide stop pin. It'll pop out and the complete top assembly will slide off as it comes forward. The recoil assembly pops out and apart into you're left hand., Let the barrel fall forward in the bushing, turn the bushing and remove it and the barrel at the same time through the front, slip the bushing off. Done. And faster. Slide bushing down onto barrel, Turn bushing all the clockwise, put spring onto spring guide then both into slide and slide it all onto the frame, align holes and pop in the slide stop. Pop plug onto the end of the spring, push down turn bushing* Done. And quicker.... *some people will argue about turning the bushing at the fitted end of the barrel...... |

A limbered up 1911 with a GI recoil system is a cinch to beat that time. With practice, you can field strip it and put it together in 16 - 19 seconds. I did it that fast at the end of each AIT class I taught the 1911 to at Ft Knox in 1970. Even after not handling a 1911 for about 40 years, a year ago my good bud brought out his dad's WWII 1911 and asked if I would check it out before he fired it. After field stripping it and checking for damage, I noted that firing pin was chipped so I recommended he replace it before he fired it. After I put it together, I mentioned I could field strip it quickly so after one more cycle to remember, they timed me. From together to field stripped, to together and function checked, I did it in 23 seconds. Remember, I hadn't touched a 1911 in 40 years!! |

It only takes practice and trick is to lay the link forward when you slide in the barrel, hold the slide upside down while you slide the frame on, run the frame fully forward until it stops, and then turn the pistol over to insert the slide stop. The link will fall into the correct position to slide in the slide stop every time.  As far as posting a movie, I'm computer challenged. Pictures I can handle but I haven't got a video camera nor have the faintest idea how to post a movie. |
