Very interesting video and a good job by the young fellow. Thank you for sharing it. I had a police officer friend dating back to the late 60's that carried a 1911, which was a rarity back then as most carried revolvers; mainly Model 19 S&W's. He was convinced he had to unload his mags every month or so to let them rest and rotate to the ones he had "rested". I ran into him a couple of years ago and gun talk came up and he brought up the fact he always told any rookies he trained who carried semi-autos to do the same. Knowing him as I do this video would fall on deaf ears.
