This video has lots of important information like telling us about the logos inscribed and pretty medallions, but other than that, it is pretty short on useful information.

We are told that it has a "bull barrel." I am wondering just what he means by this, as a such a term refers to a thcik, heavy barrel often used for target shooting, where heating of the barrel could cause problems by "walking" the group on the target due to expansion of the barrel from the heat of multiple rounds fired.

This gun's barrel has a bulge on the end and certainly doesn't look like a bull barrel, nor does it look like it has the function of a bull barrel. The bulge looks like it has the function of reinforcing the end of the barrel, aa the barrel has porting cuts on the muzzle, and also to lock the muzzle of the barrel to the slide when the slide returns to battery, while preventing excess friction of the barrel to the slide during recoil. It is, I think, a cheap fix to avoid the 1911 design's use of a barrel bushing for the barrel to ride in at the end of the slide.

Secondly, it has larger sights. Thank you for telling me this. How else would I have known? Also, he tells us that larger sights are easier to see. Thanks for this information, too! How else would I have known?

The larger sights may be a consideration at the target range, but one might want to consider how useful they are to the purpose the gun will be used to meet. Larger sights are easier to acquire, yes, but they also are more prone to hanging up on clothes and other things when one is trying to draw the pistol quickly. This is a trade-off that one must choose: the larger, higher sights that are easier to acquire a sight picture, or lower, more compact sights that are less likely to get hung up during a quick draw.

The problem here is this guy is rattling off features of the pistol without telling us why they are useful -- probably because he doesn't know either and is just trying to sell a gun.

Did you note that he doesn't tell us that the front sight is dovetailed into the slide, rather than staked, like the original 1911s? This allows the customer to buy aftermarket sights that they may prefer (and there are many kinds available, such as high, low, glow in the dark, etc.). Why. I am guessing that he doesn't know what advantages a dovetail sight has, and prefers to spend time on how to open boxes, pretty finishes, and fancy cases.

Then, he is telling us about the Picatinny Rail underneath the frame. For his information, this is an attaching point that the USA military uses and was named after the Picatinny Arsenal, from where the design feature originated. I suppose that this is less important than shiny medallions, though.

It would seem much more constructive, if one was going to make a video, to actually point out the good points and perhaps less good points in a gun review, or even to shoot it, or even to shoot it and show us the groups, or even to shoot several strings of magazines to demonstrate how the pistol doesn't jam of fail to feed under the conditions in which it may be called upon to operate. Maybe he only wishes to have one for the shiny medallion?
