This video explores the Mexican Obregon pistol, a rare variant of the iconic 1911.

The description highlights other modifications, including a magazine safety and a combined slide stop/manual safety. Approximately 800-1000 units were produced for a Mexican military contract that was ultimately unsuccessful. The video mentions that the reviewed example had some feeding issues with specific ammunition and notes the pistol's potentially high level of safety due to its multiple safety features (manual, magazine, and grip safety).
