Video: History of the development of the 1911

[Cheesewhiz]

This is a pretty good video, about a half an hour long. The guy really has some fine examples and does the transition from gun to gun well.

Besides my kids always get a kick out of seeing it. My little boy (he will be 3 next month) likes it.

Ditto on the bug, keep it.

Notice narrator says "38 Auto Colt was a semi rimmed cartridge" same time he turns slide to camera and its stamped " Rimless" ?

 

[Cheesewhiz]

The .38 Auto and the .38 Super are both semi rimless. The slide or barrel being marked rimless only means that that barrel is made to headspace on the case mouth and not the rim.

oh

Didn't like the bug at first, but it grew on me.
Interesting video
