Yeah, it's definitely a neat feature set but I really wish he did more in the design to take advantage of a rotating barrel (rather than a tilting one). For example, there's a huge potential with a rotating barrel design to slim up the frame, thus making the overall gun smaller... But the only thing that he changed dimensionally was to bulk UP the slide = bigger gun And John-Paul, I don't think this was ever intended for suppressors anyhow since you would need to acquire a extended/threaded version of one of these custom rotating barrels. I agree though that even if you did, using a suppressor would indeed be a nightmare on this thing.

There is one good reason I can see why this safety/slide lever wasn't a good idea, and that's because there's no detent for the lever, no positive stop. The lever is long and thin, and starts to flop around as it wears, and you can very easily accidentally put the gun on safe when you don't mean to (I've had 2 of these pistols, they both shared this behavior). The 1911's slide stop and safety have their own detents, making them very crisp and positive. There's no mistakenly flipping the safety on with that pistol. Had the Obregon gotten more military attention, they probably would've improved it though.

Seeing that you inherently lose accuracy with a tilting barrel system by way of the barrel axis changing along the Y axis, I'd say that the rotating barrel system of the Obragon is superior in accuracy because the barrel does not change axis in any X or Y positions, essentially a "fixed" barrel so far as center axis deviation is concerned. I'd also gander that the rotating system would help to mitigate some recoil in a superior fashion than the Browning 1911's tilting barrel system because there is more movement allowed to take up the recoil impulse, and since that movement is in a rotary fashion, accuracy is not affected in the slightest.

One of those "what if?" moments in gun design. Pretty damn neat. Should have caught on.

There are some very elegant changes to the pistol. Would definitely have one of these, over the 'normal' 1911

As far as reliability goes, it was adopted by a major military power with the resources to put WAY more testing on any platform any of us guntubers ever could, so if you were interested in obtaining one (or any older MILSURP gun), I'd have a qualified gunsmith check the bore, chamber, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the headspace; depending on the condition of course, I would recommend a new set of springs; at least a main spring and recoil spring if you can, if you're like me and collect MILSURP's to actually be shooters.

Be interesting to feel how the rotational impulse affects recoil; you don't notice it in a rifle because the bolt face is such a small amount of the overall mass, but a pistol barrel makes up a larger proportion of the whole.

Beretta PX4 Storm represent!

This is pretty awesome! Respect 👌🏽

As a Mexican, am proud our domestic guns were showed in your channel, I hope you can do a video on the FX-05 Xiuhcóatl rifle. or even on the Mosquetón M1954 rifle or the Mendoza smg or mgs. Ñ

Just one more example of how a mass produced item can be perfected on a small scale. I might be wrong, but it seems to me, that this gun is better made in some ways, than standard 1911. Thank you, Ian.

Ian this is the kind of weapon design you start your channel with to grab our attention.

Excellent..! Many thanks for your respectful job. Regards..!

I’ve never cared for magazine safety’s but that’s a cool pistol

This thing is actually ingenious. I'm very impressed by the engineers who worked on this. The magazine safety alone is a brilliant idea, let alone all of the other improvements made. It basically guarantees there will never be a misfire from someone forgetting that there is a round in the chamber when taking the magazine out. If you ask me, this should be a safety feature present in every single modern production pistol sold to the civilian market because it's that good of an idea. Mistakes happen and I feel like this could prevent a lot of unfortunate accidents. They're all simple things that I never would have thought about needing to be changed, but improving the little things makes the entire piece better.

Very enjoyable and very interesting. I have a couple rotating barrel pistols. I find them fascinating.

I continue to be baffled as to why people seem to think magazine safeties are a good idea, but that's a pretty slick way to implement one. Lots of other very clever engineering here too.

The.45 was known as the most dangerous weapon issued, too many guys accidentally shot by one of their own, usually with an "empty" gun. Mag removed but forgot the round in the chamber.

​@@robertball3578 any semi auto would do the same thing, probably bevause guys were used to revolvers where you can see the bullets in the chambers

Holy crap, that's a cool gun. absolute genius. Who'd thought Mexico had it going? Are you going to shoot it? Wonder how it'd shoot against a 1911.

I love when we get to see obscure guns with such nifty features:)

Don't forget about the Slovakian Grand Power pistols, still very much in production. Interesting guns with a slightly unique take on a rotating barrel locking system in the use of a roller bearing to act as the cam lug. Also the safety only models have a remarkably excellent DA trigger pull, which unfortunately doesn't carry over quite as well to the decocker/safety models.

The Slovakian Grand Power pistols use a rotating barrel design.

I have one. It's the Grand Power Q100 which is the striker fired version. It's a great pistol in every way but one: the trigger sucks. The K100 is the hammer fired version, which I hear has a much better trigger. The Q100's trigger is extremely mushy feeling, like the 180º opposite of a nice crisp trigger. However it's very light and predictable. Mechanically it's similar to a Glock trigger, but without the Glock's crispness. I have no idea why. I've fired them back-to back and I've gotta be honest my Glock does _not_ produce better groups. Perhaps they've gone through the mushiness singularity and come out the other side? It's very nice to shoot. The rotating barrel is highly accurate and absorbs some of the recoil.

@@tarmaque I have both the regular K100 and a Q1 with factory flat trigger (2019 edition) - the flat trigger is awesome and definitely not a glockishly mushy...the reset is not so short like the K100, but yet, its still one of the shortest.

I like my K100; definitely less muzzle rise and recoil than a comparable tilting-barrel design

I wish current manufacturers produce a clone of this.

It would be nice to see these brought back into production. Beautiful handgun!

a nice bonus of the rotating barrel is when you have a full length recoil guide rod the lock-open shows them parallel for those w/ that OCD/preference

With everyone making a 10911/1911A1 copy these days - how about someone making a copy of this????????? I would buy one. I would even buy a Turkish copy - which I usually detest!!!!

Mexicans' can really re-engineer the hell out of thing's...

Nice shoutout to the Steyr "Hahn" 1912. That gun just looks so cool to me. If only it had detachable magazines, I'd say it would still be viable today.

damn it almost makes wanna go out and try to buy , but I already have an extensive tool collection and another 1911' would a lot but it is still nice to learn something new about 1911's

The Mexican aproach to the steyr hann- colt 1911..a true hibrid.

Simplified controls, more slide machining, more waste materials from slide machining. A trade off.

More bulk and mass on the slide and front end of the pistol, too. Definitely not just shoving this thing into a 1911 holster.

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine a rotating barrel will provide better accuracy than a tilting barrel. because a tilting barrel can still lock with some tilt. it may not return to the same point every shot. depending on ammo and return spring age. slight differences in the rotation of a rotating barrel will not effect accuracy nearly as much. that's the paper answer for not using a tilting barrel system.

Gun Jesus is back with another fantastic video :D

There were some Obregón pistols as Armas de cargo at the Base Aerea de Santa Lucia (St. Lucy Airbase) of the Fuerza Aerea Mexicana (Mexican Air Force) back in the 80s. Me and my fellow scale modelers visited the Airbase almost every Saturday back then.

That's one nice 1911 I wonder if that is a more accurate pistol

Oh how I have missed the children's cartoons in the recommended section of a forgotten weapons video.

Pretty slick setup

I have a Stoeger (Beretta) Cougar 8000. Fun gun and the ejection pattern is wild. My only gripe is that the reassembly process is touchy because the recoil spring isn't captured by the cam block. Beretta fixed that in the PX4, but they made the grip skinny slick polymer.

I approve of this gun. Give Mr. Obregon a medal and a piece of Texas!
