Just shooting a modified head-shot standard since that is the target I had in the truck. Frankly it could have gone better. Going to have to tighten it up. Sincerely, Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”
Blued Gun Wear
I took these photos a little while back. You see the wear on the magwell and mainspring housing? That is from just over a week’s worth of dry-fire and manipulation practice. It’s way more wear now. Granted I tend to practice more than the average cat, but I’m not the T-1000 Terminator either. Just a guy. My point? This is …
STI DVC-P Break-In
Officer Mike is letting me play with his STI DVC-P. He needs it broken in, and we are just the folks to do that! Note: It’s his pistol, RDS, and X300 light. This configuration is how he gave it to us. Additionally, I believe this pistol needs 1000 rounds for break-in according to the manufacturer. More to come. Sincerely, …

Epoxy Grip Flake-Off
One of the downsides to using the epoxy solution on the VP9 is that is seems to be susceptible to falling off. Not sure “exactly” when this happened, but I do know the day it happened. And I believe it came off due to recoil while shooting. NBD as long as it ALL doesn’t fall off. Sincerely, Marky …
Russian Sniper in The Open
This title is a little pushy. I’m sure some of you thought this was going to be a photo from Syria or Ukraine. Or perhaps the Eastern Front during WWII. Nope. I took this photo at a small diner inside the US. Do you see it? Most folks there did not. I also figure most who did, assume it’s a …
Ed Brown Shooting Dots
Still trying to get back up to speed on running, shooting and driving 1911’s. Some good here. Some, “meh”. Also…I will have another video on the, “extractor issue”. Sincerely, Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”

One-Reload-One 9mm 1911
Trying to shake down the Ed Brown 9mm AND get back up to speed on running a 1911 safety. So while this drill isn’t record setting by any stretch, it is putting in the work. The target turned out to be a little farther than 5 yards. Closer to 7. But no big deal. Still got my hits on that …
Wilson 9mm Magazine Test
So…while shaking down the Ed Brown, I have decided that I want to use the 10 round magazines that Wilson Combat has come up with. So far, so good. I did have a malfunction which you will clearly see on video. But speaking from experience as someone who “used” to run 1911’s exclusively? That looks like extractor tension. And…spoiler …

Martial Arts Patches
We are going through some old boxes and making room in the armory for some new projects. And in that process, we came across some of my old martial arts uniforms. Looking back, I probably started taking martial arts classes in the mid 1980’s. And kept up with it full-time until well into the late 1990’s. But by then I …
Rock Island Armory 9mm 1911
Succumbing to the 9mm 1911 peer pressure around here; I have it on good authority that Freeze secured this Rock Island Armory 1911 today. Let’s see if it will run with the big dogs? -Admin
The Bionic Trigger
So…what happens when you take an old MILSURP collector, stick a 3-Gun trigger in his hand and roll tape? In short…all the proof Youtube needs to never…ever…allow us to monetize videos. But…the Geissele SD-3G trigger is pretty good! Sincerely, Marky www.John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”
Surefire MR07 Light Rail
Back in the bad ole days, we didn’t have all the rail options you do now. As a matter of fact, most gun owners were against hanging lights off guns! This was doubly so when it came to the traditional 1911 pistol customer. But that wasn’t going to stop Surefire from figuring out a way to sell them weapon …
