Algodoo

Good tutorial!

The only thing that I thought might need to be explained is WHAT a disconnector is, and HOW it functions. I suspect that only people who are deeply into guns (like you and I) know what the function of a disconnector is. Anyone else would be scratching their head wondering what it is.

Good idea; I'll get to that. Hey, have you checked out some of my recent uploads?

Yes, nice job on all of them!

By the way, are you taking requests for any type of gun? I carry a Kahr Arms model PM40. It has a black composite frame, and a stainless steel slide. I would make it myself, but I really suck when it comes to making mechanical assemblies with Algodoo!

Link me a picture or something. I will do research on the mechanisms and try to make them as realistic as possible, as well as incorporate every feature possible.

Yes, I will happily take requests ^^

oh, and I will be posting a response demonstrating how a 1911 disconnect works. beat the heck out of me for a while until I started building it XD

Okay! Here is a link to Kahr Arms website: PM40 Pistol

You can get drawings, videos, and the owner's manual, which includes a detailed diagram of all the parts.

I own other handguns (including the great M1911-A1), but I like the Kahr for concealed carry because it's small and relatively light weight, and it fires the same caliber bullet that most police departments now use.... The .40 S&W.

Thanks!

You got an '11 A1? Aren't they pretty rare?

No, not at all. I think the pre-A1 is much rarer. The gun was approved for US military service in 1911. That's how it got that number. A few years later, some cosmetic improvements were made, such as beveled trigger guard, wider hammer, checkered grips, and a few other things. It then received the A1 suffix. Most 1911's that you buy today are the newer A1 model. That's why I believe the earlier pre-A1's are more rare.

Here is the complete history of the 1911 pistol: M1911 Pistol

Meh. I'm more of a BHP guy. John Moses Browning's last firearm, also turns out to be one of the best

I am starting getting to the functionality of the PM 40. I am going to have to stop for now XD

OK, have a good evening!

Hey, Xray, You are going to love it, love it, LOVE IT!! I am uploading it now =D
