I apologize if the link doesn't work. The title of the video is 1911 muck test by Sturmgewerhe. I have problems posting the actual video on my phone.

Try and look past how he throws the gun into the muck. I cringed because of two reasons. 1. Its a beautiful 1911 and he threw it in the mud. 2. Because of the unsafe gun handling. But the point remains that a 1911 can take a lot. I've seen numerous times on forums where people say if you just get a spec of dirt in there the 1911 wont run right. Well I felt I needed to share this with you.

I don't think ill ever try this myself with my own Kimber, but it's nice to see that 1911 didn't have any problems.

Poor safety aside, that wasn't much of a test. he dropped it in a puddle... Remove the slide, scoop the mud in, replace the slide, and then fire it! lol My Ruger would do it, but it's hard to stop a P95... lol I should try it with my 1911...

Wow, it's almost the same quality as a Hi-Point.

The HORROR! I wouldn't even treat my Glock like that ! Throughout the test I kept thinking 2 things 1) Wow that's incredible, and 2) that really looks like great dirt for growing things.
neat test.

I had a 76 Pinto that I tried to blow the motor in one day (was tired of it and half drunk) and the f...er kept running. On the way to work a couple of days later, the cam shaft broke, 32 miles from the nearest phone. We were at the Peace River overflow the day we tried to kill it; one half mile from ten or twelve phones. True story...

There is a similar video of someone doing this and worse to a RIA 1911. You could hear the grit as closes the slide after the mud drys, never had any misfires/FTF/FTE.

Ahhh, sorry, should've clarified: the one with the RIA that seems to be even more torturous.
