Not many people are willing to put their Colt and Wilson 1911's through truly abusive torture testing. Go figure. I think the average 1911 abuse video would be showing off an idiot scratch.Any thing out there showing what any of these can handle?
Personally, I'd be skeptical of any 1911 torture test, anyhow. Each 1911 is a gun of its own. Some are built tight, some loose. People favor different brands, different parts, and how many different brands and models of magazines, even?
The only 1911 I have extensive shooting time with jams all by itself, all the time. That doesn't mean anything to you. Same way a video showing a 1911 going thru hellnback and still working would mean squat to me.
Glocks are mass produced in the same factories, and the 4 different generations and other various pseudo-recall/upgrades are well documented in the popular press of the interwebs. The icing on the cake is many of the internal trigger and sear parts don't even need to be well-fitted to begin with. A video of one specific Glock being abused makes a bit more of a statement as to the expected performance of the Glock on your hip.
