| Can you guys point me in the direction of a website or something that completely explains how a 1911 works. I have a good idea, but I really want to study the 1911 in order to be able to identify every single part and its function. Thanks in advance. |

Check this out....you can hide various parts of the gun to see inside it as it goes through the motions.

The videos and literature stated in this thread are all good sources of the method to the madness of how these fantastic guns work. If you would like to take it to somebody with some explanation, I'd be happy to chat with you if you give me a call. As many of you know, I have been studying Mechanical Engineering (gearing up for my Senior Year at 32 years old) and with all my physics and material science classes - mixed with the mechanical systems, dynamics, elements and design classes, I have a pretty good handle on not only how the parts mate and mechanically work, but why certain types of materials were used, what spring pressures are used and why, and many other ideas that can be explained with the course of my studies.
My phone number is 309-737-2466. I prefer calls in the evening hours as I like to work late (I've watched the sun come up many times this summer). Also, if you do call, you might have to deal with the occasional blast of air or some light filing and or fitting noises in the background because I'll be working too. Take care and feel free to call. Bob |
