How Guns Work — 3D Video Animations of 1911-Type Pistols
These three videos show how the classic Model 1911 pistol works, a pistol that will be featured in the CMP National Matches starting today, July 12, 2026. The famous 1911 pistol requires the hammer to be cocked in order to fire. Watch the video to see the operation of the trigger, hammer, firing pin, and slide. After the round is fired the slide retracts and the cartridge ejects. Then, a new round rises in the magazine and chambers as the slide moves forward back into battery. With the hammer cocked when the slide came back, the m1911 is ready for the next shot.
