Your positioning of the slide while disassembling, utilizing the bench to prevent the firing pin and spring from shooting across the room, as well as the other positionings, are genius. I've watched many other vids on disassembling the slide and no one does it like you do. Thanks for showing me how to do things right.

Jason, you demonstrate and communicate your knowledge very well. The ability to clearly and simply explain is strong indication that you possess a thorough understanding of the subject. Your video tutorials are the best that I have witnessed.

Maybe the best method to do it I ever see ! Quick and clear explaination !

Good to see the right people giving instructions on guns.

This is need to know info for anyone with a 1911. This should have more views

Amazing video... so tired of all other youtubers that just ramble ramble ramble

Good, straightforward how to without the added nonsense that's all too prevalent on many vids. Thanks, Jason 👍

That's easier way than I have seen them done in the past. Thank you.

Got a RIA 1911 9mm that fails to extract sometimes. I am going to give this a shot! Thanks for the easy walkthrough!

Straight and to the point with excellent technique.

I do appreciate your time. Among this video and other videos, I really should have took the time to really learn my weapon and notice what it was doing to the rounds. First I thought magazine, then feed ramp, in my opinion if some light polishing with 2000 grit and then some rem oil cant fix something, then I dont need to be touching it, but I havent cleaned or checked my extractor tension before. It hasn't had too many rounds through it, maybe 2-300 but its a cheap rock island 1911. Checked it and it was beyond tight, was biting my ammunition cases as well as scuff marks where the forward motion of the slide along with the feed ramp were carrying the brunt of the work to shove the tail end of the round into the extractor, taking bites out of the cases and scuffing them as they entered the chamber. Now, the extractor is practically straight at this point and will fall out of the slide with a gentle tap, but it passes your test here and after all the other things I tried to smoothen it up, this thing runs like a wet dream. Thanks 👍

Excellent vid! Concise and to the point. Best I've seen!

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you for presenting this.

Excellent video! Nothing left to the imagination. I've been having erratic failure to eject issues with my Desert Eagle 1911C that's been killing my time at IDPA matches. I'm going to give this a shot. Thank you for your time making the video! Very helpful!

Thanks Jason, great info!

Jason, you rock! -Godfrey

Great vid man. I’ve fired 200 rounds out of my kimber. Custom lw. Feed jams every 3 to 4 rounds. I’ll run it

I like to see profetional pep do the work they make it look so easy but with good parctice we all make good work

Great video. Much easier then other videos Ive seen. Using firing pin Channel to adjust is the difference. Nice. I'll try it next time I need to adjust.

Awesome Video! You make it look so simple.

Very professional

Excellent video, thank you!

Your videos are great. Thanks!

Beautiful job, thx

Outstanding video.

Putty Smart Jason I will use on my series 70 Commander It is so loose it will not hold a empty case against the breecface

Now that was a super demonstration thank you

I had to do this with my RIA 1911 A2. It seems the armscor ammo they test with has just a slightly thicker rim than a lot of brass on the market. Making a minor adjustment got rid of my failure to feed issues.

Excellent video

Awesome video!!

Thank you so much for this information

Thank you so much I'm trying to fix a FTE issue

Recently, I've been getting failure to feed on my Citadel 1911 (Armscore), and I had suspected magazines, although I didn't used to have that issue. Going to check to see if the extractor is too tight tomorrow. Crossing my fingers, thanks for the video.

Great explanation however start by saying that the slide is an 80 series ✌️

Thanks.

Thanks

Dame it, you did that so smooth I am subbing You are a ,45 god.

Excellent

Jason good video, clear and straight forward. My new Colt Competition 9mm ejects rounds in all directions including at me. Could incorrect extractor tension be causing this? I don't want just buy parts blindly hoping to cure this problem.

Thank you

Ima need you to come to my house and do some things for me… how’s Wednesday sound?

One of the best videos I've seen.... Thanks. I have a Kimber 1911 45ACP and my Brass is flying everywhere, Far and wide and sometimes over my head... My friend has a different brand and they fall right at his feet, He could almost drop them all in a coffee can.. Could you give me any suggestions? If not I understand... Thanks again..

My 1911 zings an empty shell casing by my head once every mag. with a Wilson's extractor. Since it's only one case per mag, do I still need to adjust the tension? If so, more or less? Thanks for your video!

So, it's okay if the round moves slightly as long as it doesn't come out of the extractor's grip?

If the cartridge remains under the extractor when you rotate the slide then you are either good to go, or the extra tension is too high.

Any advice on how to remove a firing pin stop that is stuck in place? I'm unable to move the stop on my 1911.

My issue is failure to go back into battery. I just had the extractor adjusted. Is this the result of too much tension on the extractor. This happens on all my magazines.

My 1911 crushes brass. It doesn't jamb up the gun which is weird so does that mean I need to loosen the extractor? I'm not a 1911 guy but this seems pretty easy just dunno why you would do this?

There's a specific tools to add or decrease tention to the extractor.

The part that was missing: you have too much tension if you're getting failure to strip rounds off of the magazine and the slide doesn't go in battery. Too much tension prevents the slide from being able to force the case under the extractor and you'll see the brass case edge getting "filed" flat by the extractor. It can also be due to the extractor hook needing some re-profiling so it doesn't contact the brass case as its sliding up.

I'm probably good to go 🤙

I’m having a failure to extract on my Rock Island Armory tac ultra hc 9mm would this fix my issues?

How can you tell if there is too much tension on the extractor? My 10mm tosses brass ten yards back and ten yards left.

This doesn’t address if your extractor is too tight.

why do my round keep getting crushed when I chamber ?????

I canot get the firing pin hiwbdid you that i am trying not done shit.

I guess there's no such thing as having TO MUCH tension?

Fitting A frame to slide is nothing custom.

Excellent
