This video features a review of a used Para USA Expert 1911. The presenter highlights its enhanced features compared to a standard 1911, including an Ed Brown barrel, a 25-pound recoil spring, and a flat firing pin safety. These upgrades allow the pistol to chamber and fire .45 ACP, .45 Super, and .450 SMC ammunition. The reviewer expresses interest in sourcing .45 Super and .450 SMC. The description also includes links to various playlists such as handgun reviews, long gun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear reviews, and range tests, as well as social media links.
This video provides a clear and concise explanation of the differences between the Colt 1911 Series 70 and Series 80 designs. Brownells Gun Tech Caleb Savant details the internal firing pin safety mechanism present in the Series 80, which is absent in the Series 70. The discussion covers how this safety operates, differences in grip safeties, and the common practice of converting Series 80 guns to Series 70 configurations to achieve a lighter, smoother trigger pull and reduce potential points of failure. The preference for Series 70 in custom builds is also highlighted.
This video delves into the "Expert" Auto-Ejector system, patented by Silver and Fletcher in 1884 and integrated into approximately 350 Webley New Model RIC revolvers. The system offered a faster method of unloading compared to traditional ejector rods, allowing for rapid expulsion of spent casings by pulling the trigger multiple times. A notable safety feature, a firing pin retraction mechanism, is also highlighted. The revolvers were sold to law enforcement agencies like the Royal Irish Constabulary and Metropolitan London Police, and lack standard Webley markings, instead bearing serial numbers specific to Webley and Silver & Fletcher.
