Well bushing or bushing less? Mine S&W Series E has a bushing, my only mistake was not getting it in stainless steel and without a rail. Was told the rail aids against muzzle flip and makes the gun stronger. I don't think so, also it's uglier with the rail.
Was never a big fan of ambi safeties because the weak side can inadvertently get bumped off safe during carry, but as you pointed out, I guess you can always check to make sure it’s on safe. Not a deal-breaker, but just not my preference. I like the look of that Kimber too. Nice piece. 👍🏻
It doesn't need the thumb safety anyway. It's got a grip safety, and even that isn't really needed. Plenty of guns with no external safety. So long as the trigger isn't pressed your good. And if you're following the safety rules that won't happen.
Well sir, I agree with what you have just stated about an ambi safety. I just purchased a Springfield Armory 1911 Ronin which I fell in love with from first sight. The only real issue I have with it is that I'm a left handed shooter and this doesn't have an ambi safety on it. I'm going to do some checking to see if I can get one installed that won't void my warranty on this pistol.
The Wilson Combat EXTENDED Safety's are nice because they almost welcome your thumb to ride on top of it (Single Side Only)... I don't care for the ambidextrous safety's.... Everybody is different... Apples Vs. Oranges, ya know? Whatever you are most comfortable with is what is important!... Doesn't matter if it's a Phillipines Import or a several thousand dollar Les Baer... ANY gun is BETTER than NO gun at all, right?... Carry what ya got... What ya can afford.....
Definitely one safety Not Ambi, less is more, unless you're lefty, although you should train how to use safety with either hand, one safety looks cleaner and slicker, Yankee you're wrong on this one
I think that if we have to draw a 1911 from the 3 o'clock position with a hurt "strong side arm" If we had the time to get to that step you have time to get the safety off on a single sided safety... I could be wrong. But its not difficult to disengage it with the left hand only. Just my opinion but I wouldn't be opposed to those low profile ambi safeties at all.
Great video. I have several 1911's some of them have ambi safeties. I do not think that I could add one. I would mess it up. I am glad to see that you are carry an 1911 now. I learned to love them in The Marine Corps in 1966.
Ok, I have been carrying 1911s for more than 50 years. I do NOT want an ambi safety on a carry gun. I do usually have ambi safety’s on my competition guns.
I don't like ambi safeties on a 1911 for 2 reasons, they're easily swiped to fire position if you bump into something and most ambi designs aren't robust enough.
That slightly raised black punisher grip looks really good on there I had one just like it until it was stolen from me. Except mine had a all black compensator also
One thought for the 1911 fan boy LOL, if your running a standard barrel consider going with a spring-Co dual spring, that make for a very clean pick up of the round in mag, but make a nice cummfy shooter for the geriatric shooters. LOL (easy shooting on you girly hands LOL) but seriously they make a nice difference.
I love my Wilson Combat bulletproof am I safety. It required a little fitting but the design allows you to adjust to tension on the right side safety to eliminate and wiggle/slop.
I removed the ambi-safety from my Sig STX and replaced it with a right-hand (left side) large extended safety. The extended safety forms a nice shelf for the thumb while shooting. I thought the little ambi-safeties were too fidgety and the left-side one bit into the thumb during recoil because there wasn't enough area to disperse the energy coming through it. The extended safety is much more comfortable, and more positive. And if I shoot left-handed, it's very easy to swipe the left-side safety with the left thumb.
I like that gun. I was looking at the Rock Island Armory M1911-A1 10mm but 400 dollars more gets a Sig 1911 Tacops 10mm. I do want a 1911 in 10mm. Why don't you carry that Kimber 10mm too much kick???
I'm left handed and I don't have a 1911 yet hoping one day I will be able to get one in the future. But even if i wasnt left handed I would still want an ambi safety on it because of the very reasons you stated. If you are defending your life you can not guarantee that you will be shooting strong hand only and never need to switch to support side and you have to be able to get the gun into action with either hand and make that transition as smooth as possible and not fumble around with your gun when your life depends on it. That is why I believe every person that Carrie's a gun for self defense should learn to shoot accurate with either hand.
Personally dont like a single action pistol witha ambi safety. Haha thats just me though since its a big enough issue carrying cocked and locked let alone having another side of the gun being prone to be knocked off safe.
That's a clean kimber I wanna put an ambi saftey on mine too you've given me alot of great reason too plus I need a mag well too and the black punisher grips are the way to go on that👍
I ordered my.ultralight commander with ambi's,and thought I made a mistake,but I had been looking down the right side to check if its still on,not realizing thats a byproduct of ambi safteys? Im glad someones thinking for me?
Push the gun against the grip? Not sure what you mean, but seems like you're assuming amazing range of motion for someone so riddled with arthritis that he has to stoop to carrying a 1911.
@@pteronarcyscalifornica694 meant to say hip but yeah I see what you mean. The only other way involves jamming the muzzle in the waistband and turning it
I use to think being right handed ambi safety's were pointless other than the looks cool factor but after I bought my Kimber CDP ll I realized how much I liked them and quickly added ambi safety to my Kimber TLE rl ll and got rid of the plastic mainspring housing on both of course
I'm not a fan of the 1911 ambi safety. It digs into my hand when I shoot target. Mine came with an ambi safety, I changed it with a GI safety. I trained in the Military with the GI 1911. Ft Lewis WA. So I'm used to the GI type safety.
I respectfully disagree. I have no use for the ambi safety being right handed. I will never use it and I have had it bump on something when in my holster and knock the safety off. There are of course more safeties on the 1911 so I do not feel that it would cause a NG but I have drawn mine from the holster at the range after the safety was knocked off and it took me a second or two trying to sweep the safety off wondering what was happening before I realized it was already off. As you know a couple of seconds in a gunfight may cost you your life. My opinion for what it is worth. $.01 if that.
I wouldn't use punisher grips on a carry gun. That's not going to play out well in court if you actually have to use it. The prosecution will undoubtedly push the idea that you're a vigilante.
Orange grip yankee
Orange!
Yes and yes.
That's dope! Thanks for the video
Orange grips
The dark Punisher grips are the best.
Either the blackout punished or the orange and black ones.
Thank you for your proper use of Etcetera
All black punisher grips look the best
like me I love that punisher logo and the character it just looks great on 1911's both my 1911's have punisher grips
agreed on the saftey.
The last one
Go all black Punisher, they look great!
Full grey punisher
Those orange grips looks like they were cut out of a road caution sign.
Black
Punishers!
Halloween orange grips. Do it.....
Need Gray or Silver Punisher grips !
Dark Punisher grips.
The solid black ones look sharp as fuck.
Punisher Grips in black.
go with the white skull grips yankee.
Think I’ll do my own thing and stick to my one thumb safety, works just fine for me. You do you, I’ll do me.
I don't even like orange all that much and I think the orange grip panels were the out and out winner.
Black Punisher ones

Being able to see if it’s on safe while holstered… man, that is such a great point!

Valid point it’s. Happened to me on my 1911 ambi
I swapped out my Ambi for right handed thumb safety.

I definitely agree with your #2 reason, I find myself checking mine at least once a day unconsciously.

I don't like ambi safeties on a 1911 for 2 reasons, they're easily swiped to fire position if you bump into something and most ambi designs aren't robust enough.
How did you not have to fit the new safety’s
You really should know if your safety is on.
You could have just sanded the green ones.
That slightly raised black punisher grip looks really good on there I had one just like it until it was stolen from me. Except mine had a all black compensator also
Either of the Punisher grips get my vote. The one caveat there is the Kimber logo, its too flamboyant. Ruger makes a nicer 1911 and has a better logo.

Do you have a purse and belt line to accentuate your 1911?
Well fuck I thought my 1911 was just fine until you started carrying a 1911. Ya the black punisher grips look sweet.
Yo those orange ones looked the coolest on it.
Awesome grip choice 👍🏻
I just put Lok grips on my 1911! Mayhem gray/black! Awesome!! I want a General Lee set.....
You should replace that trigger with a Sig 2 hole skeleton trigger to match those grips. They run $22 and it gives you another how to video.
I like that gun. I was looking at the Rock Island Armory M1911-A1 10mm but 400 dollars more gets a Sig 1911 Tacops 10mm. I do want a 1911 in 10mm. Why don't you carry that Kimber 10mm too much kick???
Ambidextrous or not at all . They kill me with all these firearms with right hand only safeties .
Why didn’t you go with a silver safety to match the trigger? Needs a silver hammer to finish it off too.
I think the first set of lok grips that are orange and black or the punisher grips with the white skull would look best.

Definitely dont need an ambi safety on my 1911-would never install one.
Since I'm right handed I prefer normal safety since an ambi safety is more likely to accidentally get hit. I usually carry a Glock 29 though.
Wow! The Magwell turned out Great! Nicely done Yankee!
Nice job!
Orange and Black was the ticket for me
Hate to say it...but damnit you got it right
Jiggory Pookery...,, i like my 1911 as is, No ambi, No weird grips,& No Nonsense bullshit added to it...
I'm usually all for the punisher grip. But ur logo grip fits the style of that 1911.
Like the upgrades! Looks cool 💀. Thanks for your video. Just bought my first 1911. I’m a lefty🤚 so I need to learn how to install an ambi safety.

You shouldn't be touching your concealed sidearm. How do you get in the fight if both arms are taken out?

He needs to show how he draws from a strong-side holster with his left arm.
Reach around the back and then push the gun against the grip to slide the hand into place

Love it. You should do a pimp my pistol series...
DUDE. In another video you said the long rod was a solution looking for a problem and didn't need to be done or paraphrased
somewhat.
