Would have been nice to have this the first time i took my very first Springer apart...lmao

 

[rondo]

Nice

I wouldn't call it quite enough information to do a trouble free complete disassembly but it's educational.

Very cool!



Where is the magazine?

I know....bad joke :?

Was a pain in the arse to say the least, had to take it to my gunsmith bvuddy and get some much needed help.

WOW great video that almost makes me consider an m&p 45 over a 1911 theres a lot of pieces :wink:

While I'm the last person to advocate a 1911 over an M&P (or over a Beretta, Glock, SIG, sharp stick, voodoo magic, etc.) it was a detail disassembly of the 1911 compared to the field strip we normally think of with the M&P. The M&P actually has quite a few little parts itself. Then again, so does the Glock if you really tear it down into all its individual pieces instead of just the pre-assembled components.



You want complicated? Take apart a P7 (which I've witnessed but would never attempt) or the decocking lever mechanism on a Beretta 92G (which we used to describe as "requiring three hands and a small boy" to accomplish).

A field strip on a 1911 is about the same as an M&P except that the recoil spring isn't captive and you pop the slide stop out instead of flipping a lever. The M&P actually gives me more grief. The darn M&P disassembly lever tries to turn as the slide goes forward for removal locking things up solid if I'm not careful.

animation is good and makes strippin look simple (all flying in antigravity) but some tiny parts like sear and disconnector are a bit tricky and could get one in trouble. here's one detailed and informative 1911 stippin demo

Its kind of like the M&P animation but a lot more detailed and complicated. Very cool to watch. How do these guys make this sort of stuff?
