The Wilson Combat eXperior 1911 has passed the 10-8 Function Test. What makes this more impressive, is the gun is a single stack, chambered in 9mm, with a GI style, internal extractor. Between you, me and the wall; I thought no way this gun gets through the test without at least some kind of bobble. But gosh-darn it did! And …
Firing the 1891 Rolling Block Pistol
It’s unusual to be able to actually shoot some antique firearms, but being that this is a rolling block pistol in 22 RF; and had a super solid frame and receiver, I decided to play around. Using CCI CB 22 short, sub-sonic, low velocity ammo. Although I’m sure more regular off the shelf 22 ammo would be fine, I didn’t …
eXperior 1911 AIWB Diagnostics
Playing with a single stack 1911. Wanted to see how it goes drawing, shooting and reloading in my EDC format. The eXperior seems very nice. Runs good so far. And presents well. Can’t say anything definitive yet, but it’s making a good first impression. As for the AIWB? I always need to ensure I clear my cover garment. It’s always …
Wilson eXperior First Shots
So…after the astounding success of the Wilson EDC X9L pistol, I was curious if a single-stack version of the gun was available? It was not. Seems Wilson limits the EDC9 guns to 4” which I have ZERO interest in. But they did offer an alternative. The eXperior 9mm 1911. So what is this gun? It’s a single stack 1911 with …
POTD – DOC Shooting SCAR-20s
[Editor’s note] Doc was on the range Friday for a pre-scheduled event. Brought his SCAR-20s. The SCAR ran fine. The ammo ran fine. But now he has a new problem: This Thunder Beast Suppressor keeps walking off it’s mount about every 9-14 shots. Officer Mike suggested some O-rings, and DOC is going to call TB today for some advice. —Editor …
Walther P38
Per viewer request, we have pulled the Walther P38 out of The Armory and put some rounds through it. This is a post WWII example, with 6 mags, and a holster. We paid very little for it since it’s not something the typical P38 collector considers desirable. If you are interested in shooting firearms from WWII, consider purchasing something that …
Draw From Concealment Work
Just putting in some work with my carry gun: EDC X9L. I know I kinda harp on it but it needs to be said. If you are a civilian reading this. And you carry a handgun for self defense. The number one skill you will be best served by is drawing from concealment and getting a first round hit. Look. …
Personal Training Day
Had the Blaser Tactical 2 out. 308 barrel on. Shooting some of Doc’s 155g hand-loads. This was a personal training session so I didn’t film any content or produce any articles. But I know some of you like to see the Blaser, so what harm is a few pics? Sincerely, Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”

Does Brass Hit The SRO?
A viewer was looking at some images we posted of the SRO a top the EDC X9L. The SRO attached shows some wear on one of the front bezel’s. He asked is that was from brass hitting the optic? My initial reaction was no. I had never perceived any brass bouncing off the glass or SRO housing under use. I …
