Pft he's not getting my time or money. He can spout all he wants about his experince. I never served in iraq or half the things he said, but if they teach you to put someone next to targets then I dont care what they taught him.

I've fired 1200 rounds through my sig and have had zero problems so far. I'd say mines proven battle worthy so farComment

It is correct that 1911s do have problems, but that doesn't mean Yeager is some oracle. Those who have been around 1911s and had to use them frequently generally say that it does require a degree of understanding the gun itself.
The ones that we generally see in gun stores that goes around for $1000 or less can stand up to abuse, but it will probably have more frequency of failures under intensive use. 1911s that run well will cost you quite a few dollars.

This guy is a total POS.
Not only did he putting the car in park a HUGE no no in a combat zone but he then forgets he is driving a manual trans and bolts on his comrades leaving one behind the car to return fire with an M249 then an M4 while he hid on the other side of the road and fired "in the general direction" of the bad guys. I wouldn't want training or advice from a guy like that and I wouldn't take anything this man says during 'training' as the gospel. He is full of hot air and as far as I am concerned at the very minimum incompetent but more likely a coward. He prefaces this video by saying he has been in combat on other continents. Which if i had his resume i would leave out.Comment

1911's tend to have tighter machining and fit, hence the break in issues. I want a 1911a2 bad.Show your friends your 1911's and your enemies your glocks!
Say no to posers & wannabes.Comment

I'll throw this out there in his defense....James Yeager has done more, And is more involved in the firearms community then every tactical keyboard jockey in this thread. Take a class with Tactical Response....Step away from the static paper punching range and enlighten yourself. How about a show of hands, How many of you douche bags own a very successful firearms training company in multiple disciplines , That has trained thousands of people all across the US, Canada and Europe? Opinions are like *****holes, Everyone's got one, But some have just a little more of a perspective than others...Kaboom!Comment

I must have one of those rare factory 1911's. RIA Tactical, had one failure to return to battery when it was brand new, third round fired. Couple thousand rounds since, including hollowpoints and no other issues since. Well except that the ammo is expensive.
I think if he would stop twitching so much during the video it would be more pleasant to watch.Comment

My range 1911 is a Sig GSR and my Carry 1911 is a Sig C3. I have no issues with either one, unless the operator nut makes bad choices, like using cheap ammo or forgetting to resize reloads.
I also think that cheap 1911's suck, namely anything made by Armcor under any of their brand names, my first 1911 was one. I also do not like any "micro" 1911's unless they are a Combat Master made by Detonics
I now have 5 1911's in different configs, including the first one I ever bought, my Grandfather's WWII Colt, a Detonics CM and my two Sig 1911'sComment

Impressive, What would you have done?This guy is a total POS.
Not only did he putting the car in park a HUGE no no in a combat zone but he then forgets he is driving a manual trans and bolts on his comrades leaving one behind the car to return fire with an M249 then an M4 while he hid on the other side of the road and fired "in the general direction" of the bad guys.

He has been involved in the firearms community because that is how he makes his living. Make no mistake about that. I have enlighten myself with another company. I could never in good conscience take advice from a blowhard like Yeager. I'll take Bill, Cheryl and Jeremy any day of the week. http://www.ftatv.com/homeComment

Just because someone doesn't do it, doesn't mean they can't. I've met quite a few people who can do an outstanding job that will make Yeager look like a kindergarten kid but they don't start training schools and try to show up in front of camera at every chance.
It's pretty funny when TR followers try to portray others as 'the static paper punching range' group. I think one of the reasons why people fall fo TR's marketing is because it makes them feel like they are in some exclusive gun fighter group.
LOL good one.Comment
