Are we not allowed to be interested in polymer lowers because Karl acts like a clown on the internet?

It's a joke, not a dick.

 

[BewegungsKrieg]

Ergo sucked, the controls felt like they would break the polymer when manipulated

The ergonomics were fine to me, the same as any other mil-spec AR lower. The controls definitely "mushy" compared to others, because the parts are interfacing with each other through a polymer mold, not a milled metal. It's just par for the course. I admittedly haven't exactly put mine through the ringer, but I've had zero issues with functionality. I've seen these lowers torture tested and abused as well, and they seem perfectly adequate.

This isn’t actually what happened, Karl already told Ian back in February he was going to be banned from Inrange events after Midnight Brutality wrapped up. The media policy claim was just a post hoc pretext.

From February 6:

Anyone who rhetorically uses the term "human being" is a complete fag on par with people who spam "y'all" and "folks."

Karl released a video with @SinistralRifleman reviewing the Tisas 10mm 1911 he wants to raffle off. In it he kind of revealed why he might be raffling it off - he can't handle sustained shooting of it.

HAHAHAHA them little twig boy arms!

I've never shot 10mm myself so I can't compare it, but one of the things about the standard 1911 is despite firing a fairly large and powerful round (.45ACP) is that the design absorbs recoil quite well. I can shoot my 1911 consistently and my arms aren't much meatier than Karl's (possibly even less).

If he gets fatigued after shooting a handful of glorified .40 S&W rounds, his arms would snap if he tried to shoot actual 10mm loads like those sold by Underwood and Buffalo Bore.

10mm isn't too bad, it's also not really meant to be fired like one does a 9mm. I have a Rock Island 1911 in 10mm that I just picked up and it is noticeably more recoil than my .45 1911 but not uncomfortably so. I do however shoot a lot of big bore magnum handguns so I'm not the best to ask if something is 'too much' when it comes to handgun recoil. I'm also not a big or jacked out guy so if I can handle it pretty much anyone can with practice.

what a pussy. 10mm isnt that bad. handling recoil is all in form. If you lock your arms you'll feel more shock but if you let your arms roll with the recoil it really takes most of the bite out of it.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

The lawsuit they would've badly lost if not for Ian, by the way.

I'm not sure how someone disagreed with that. Not only did Ian raise the money for the legal defense fund on his channel he also requested people who had dealings with the plaintiff prior to share info and AFAIK that uncovered the smoking gun emails where they were freely sharing all their "trade secrets" that they were suing KE for copying in the first place. Most people who don't religiously follow gun internet would've never even known they were being sued if not for Ian bringing it to the attention of his millions of subscribers.

Probably because it's all steel, though .45 isn't that hefty in recoil IMO. If you wanted to tame felt recoil some, I understand you can change it pretty substantially by playing around with the profile of the firing pin stop and lighter weight recoil springs, the slide would get tougher to rack but you'd practice to just cock the hammer manually instead of having the slide do it.
I haven't tried that, because I'm not sure that's a good tradeoff, but seems like it might be worth it for 10mm.

Glorified .40 S&W

What ammo did he actually shoot? I can't imagine FBI loads out of a 1911 would be harsh to any grown man with any habit shooting handguns.

 

[August Levasseur]

What ammo did he actually shoot?

I assume it's probably the Sig Sauer ammo in the thumbnail. 180 gr at 1250 ft/s.

Are you referring to a series 80 firing pin stop? A firing pin stop on a traditional 1911 sits on the back of the slide and holds the firing pin in and won't to anything to tame recoil. You can tune a 1911 springs for light loads and you really only need to change the recoil spring and hammer spring. I am currently using a 16lb recoil spring and 19lb hammer spring for my ~820 fps handloads for USPSA. Going light on everything you also run the risk of having to tune the extractor tension. There's no need to manually cock the hammer with lightened springs either, as the slide will be easier to cycle.

Part of why 1911s aren't super high recoil is that the .45 ACP cartridge, while obviously being large in diameter (~11mm), is a relatively low velocity round. The cartridge favors bullet mass in lieu of velocity for its lethality. 10mm uses only a slightly smaller bullet, but at speeds about 500ft/s higher than your typical .45 ACP load, an increase in muzzle velocity of about 50%. It is a really hot round, by design. It has a lot more recoil than regular .45.

Thats why we up the ante and shoot .45 super

I carry a compact 45 as my carry gun. A Shield .45, specifically. It's about the same size and weight as the 9mm Shield, and other similar pistols.

When I'm at the range with other people, and I offer to let them shoot it, or sometimes just when I mention what I carry, I almost inevitably get some variation of:

"No thanks, that thing has to be unpleasant to shoot."
"Isn't that painful to shoot?"
"You're crazy!"
"Jesus, over-compensating?"

Setting aside the last one... I'm always surprised. Because usually it's people who do shoot guns who say these things, not, like, some random blue-state city dweller who thinks guns are magic death boxes. When I tell them that, actually, I find the .45 more pleasant to shoot than the 9mm they have, that it has a very different feel to it, more of a hard push than a sharp snap, they're usually skeptical or don't believe me. And I'm sure plenty of them have fired a 1911 at one point or another, but they just can't believe that it's not somehow a monster firing it out of a smaller, lighter gun.

The .45, I guess, has become a victim of it's own legend, or something.

I more or less agree with your train of logic, though I've never shot a "compact" .45 myself. 9mm isn't a bad cartridge in terms of recoil, but I do find .45 more comfortable, probably because it is a heavier bullet moving slower. The recoil impulse of .45 feels more like someone pushing the gun back towards you with a bit of force, whereas 9mm is more akin to a violent snap backwards. I'm also probably a bit biased though since my first handgun was a 1911.

My personal choice of concealed carry/compact handgun however is the Walther CCP. Ironically one of the opinions I share with Karl. It's a such a good, controllable little gun, especially for being in 9mm. Makes me scratch my head as to why more companies aren't doing gas-delayed blowback designs, especially for how cheap Walther is able to make them. One of the most underrated pistols on the market currently, imo.

Karl appears to have begun the process of censoring videos where Ian appears. Must be because he doesn't want Ian "benefiting from Karl's massive success ". He's set all the videos to unlisted and only accessible via his playlist and all existing comments appear to be gone on several of the videos.
Here's hoping he continues to do this for his entire catalogue!

I'm talking about these.

The profile of them is supposed to affect how much energy the slide needs to put into overcoming the hammer, with the vast majority of 1911s having one with a curve. The profile was supposedly different all the way back during development of the 1911, with it being changed to the now more typical style due to complaints that the slide was tough to rack when the hammer was down, the recoil spring being made heavier to compensate.
Again, I haven't tried doing this myself, but some people who have claim the difference is night and day, while others say it's barely appreciable, you'd be meant to start with a fully square one, and then radius and polish it until you get a balance of the supposed recoil reduction and how much resistance you think is too much for racking the slide with the hammer down.

Part of why 1911s aren't super high recoil is that the .45 ACP cartridge, while obviously being large in diameter (~11mm), is a relatively low velocity round. The cartridge favors bullet mass in lieu of velocity for its lethality.

Yeah, it really isn't much worse than 9mm Luger IMO, it just feels different. I've always really liked how it's an old blackpowder revolver cartridge load replicated for a smokeless automatic, has a feel of tradition to it.

I assume it's probably the Sig Sauer ammo in the thumbnail. 180 gr at 1250 ft/s.

The FBI Load (aka .40 S&W Long) is 180gr at ~1000fps, with Cooper's load being 200gr at 1200fps, so I wouldn't call 180gr doing 1250fps watered down, it's just not some Underwood or Buffalo Bore hunting load. Advertised velocities can be optimistic, but some quick Googling suggest people are getting those speeds with 5" barrels.
He mentions Federal ammo, no idea what weight, but they have comparable loads.

All in all, it's not as bad as complaining about .40, and proper 10mm Auto IS a fair bit of pistol, so I can't be harsh about it.
