I still shoot or shot the best with the Loaded, but it wasn't running like it should (as you could plainly see.) I could do better with the 4505, probably just as good as I did with the Mil-Spec. But there's no way you could make the trigger as good as a 1911 though. Most of the misses you hear are me not hitting the swinger plate. Probably holding too high.

Cool videos, what kind of camera do you use?

I also had a hangup in my Springfield similar to the first one, only the casing was still in the extractor. If you find out what the problem is, let me know cause it might have something to do with my gun too.

I noticed in your grip that you keep you thumb really high up. I was taught not to do that to avoid touching the slide and causing stoppages, as well as they say keeping your thumb pointed forward kind of helps guide you on the target better, since you're basically pointing at it.

But if it works for you, it works for you.

If you have big enough hands (which he seems to), your thumbs will still extend past the top of the slide even if you keep them pretty far forward. But it's actually one of the reasons why I don't think everyone should necessarily be encouraged to use high grips (even though that's the trend nowadays).
