2023-08-30 02:27:30 +0000 UTCSpelling of ‘substitute’ at 1:00:45. Great job on this whole series leading to the 1911.

2023-08-30 00:20:40 +0000 UTCMy friend, if the pistol ALWAYS goes bang, there's no reason to field strip it. ;)

2023-08-29 22:50:13 +0000 UTCGiven that the previous episodes in the "Road to the 1911" series featured commentary about how each pistol improved upon the previous Colt automatic, I was hoping the Maeversation would include a bit about how the 1911 compared to the 1907 or 1907/09 in terms of recoil, bore axis, etc. A little nitpick, nonetheless I really enjoyed the conversation about the 1911 and its foreign contemporaries.

2023-08-29 15:38:00 +0000 UTCOthias, you, Mae and crew continue to amaze. You've no idea the great boon to historical preservation Y'all render with not just this but all the videos Y'all produce. Too many people ignore the ins and outs of firearms design, bureaucracy, the political intrigue and personalities that have led to the tools that men have used to fight wars, protect the public and for self defense over the years. Y'all are a blessing to our community of enthusiasts and a lasting resource of great, accurate research being presented in a pleasant, entertaining and informational format. Thanks for such a wonderful in-depth look at "the Yankee fist" and another of JMB's masterpieces.

2023-08-29 14:59:48 +0000 UTCThe conversation with Mae misses (so far at 1:28) the following bit - people (eg. Clint Smith) demonstrate an emergency technique for one handed loading and one handed slide stroking of the 1911. You could drop a mag, grab another one awkwardly with your gun hand, grab it in your teeth, manage to insert the mag. (does this work with a Lugger?) AND - press top of slide against your belt/pocket/boot etc, and push with firing hand. (Taking care to not shoot self) This (2nd bit) seems impossible for the Lugger. Of course unclear if anybody had thought of this in 1912 or so. [You could also reach with your thumb to the mag release I guess - does that work on the Lugger?]

2023-08-29 14:51:13 +0000 UTCaaah. the mother of all autoloaders. finally. what a story! and that isn't even a switch to the a1's! in the 1st? 1911 luger 9mmlong 1903/07 then steyr 1912 to me. NO doubt the 11 wins the autos. hell I don't own any autos since... but the 1911 is next handgun I want to get. WHAT other design is that much influential and still that popular 110+ years later? ok the saa but...

2023-08-29 14:22:16 +0000 UTCNot really the kind of interesting content I subscribe for, but not complaining.

2023-08-29 10:55:26 +0000 UTCI also wanted to say that you really hit the nail on the head during the Maeversation regarding Browning designs. I would rarely, if ever, say that anything of his was ahead of its time, that's just not true. Rather, he was just so far ahead of the competition that it set new standards. I think his genius comes through in consistently delivering the best version of what he was asked for or saw as marketable.
Mr. Lee
2023-08-29 08:00:28 +0000 UTCYay! Very well done. Boy, are you going to disappoint 1911 cultists.... One pedantic note, 5:28 while "spiral" is accurate "coil" would be more appropriate . Also at 1:02:13 you missed a perfect opportunity for a "war were declared" throwback. I particularly like that you've given due credit to non-Browning-derived features.
Mr. Lee
2023-08-29 07:33:17 +0000 UTCWell done M&O. I have some idea of how long you've been working on this. It's 10am here in Malta and I've just binned a webcon to watch. Thanks again guys, great work as always....

2023-08-29 05:56:51 +0000 UTCBro its finally happening omg omg omg omg!!!!!
David Falbo
2023-08-29 05:39:46 +0000 UTC1) We are finally blessed with John Moses Browning's light! 2) in explaining why the magazine shoots out, you never finished the explanation before you moved on. I assume it's because the follower pushes off of the slide hold-open, but you never got to the end of that thought
