Here is the most amazing tool you can find, to help you understand exactly how the 1911 pistol works. This animation, is the kind offer of Dave Skinner, the owner of STI. Click on the image below, a new window will open, in which an animation will be loaded. Use the check boxes on the lower left edge of the screen, to hide/unhide the various parts, of the pistol, while you watch it cycle. You can hide or reveal various parts, so you can focus on that particular part you want.
You may also change the background color from white to black, hide or show the parts selection menu and specify if the pistol will use a normal guide rod or STI's Recoil Master.
Please note that there is one little mistake on the animation. It shows that the slide does not start to move until after the bullet has gone out of the barrel. This is not correct, the slide starts to move the same moment the bullet starts to move.
One hint, do not try to save it in your PC, you will not make it.
