Is the carry of a 1911 possibly fatal 4 U???

[5shot]

Just uploaded a short video to U-tube that discusses the 1911's slide stop pin problem - a fatal one for a 1911 user.

If someone plans to use a 1911 for self defense, he/she may wish to check it out.

The method of shooting that is shown in the short video is for close quarters use, and can be learned and maintained with little or no training.

Just use safe gun handling practices and common sense.

It provides the shooter not using a 1911 with an automatic and correct FSP and an automatic and correct Sight Picture. All he/she need do, is point-n-pull.

To use it with a 1911 or a gun like the 1911, the gun must be modified or it may jam on you, and at the worst possible time, which could be the best of times for the one tryinhg to kill you.

Here's the U-tube link:

A misc. item for those who like airplanes:

I also updated my page of WW II fighter pics and fly-by videos.

Here's the link: Pictures And Short Fly-by Videos of WW II Fighter Aircraft

And here are links to 2 nice group pics:





Hopefully, I will get some new videos and pics this weekend and others during this summer.

uh, who shoots like that? I've never seen anyone, any book, or any web site suggest shooting any gun in that manner.
The 1911 has been around for a LOOOOONG time. If this was a major issue I'm sure we would have heard about it by now. again, who shoots like that anyway?

+1 .... HUH? who the hell shoots like that?? and why so obsessed with this middle finger shooting thing?

[Connal]

Only one person I know shoots a handgun like that. And he lost his trigger finger years ago.

Personally, I wouldn't shoot that way either way.

I'd personally never shoot any gun like that. If you need to "point" at your target, use the thumb of the supporting hand resting against the frame like you're supposed to.

*if its an autoloading handgun, not a revolver.

don't want any missing thumbs.

I do know someone who shoots like this.....

But this thread is silly
