  • Yeah, Springfield ...

    Yeah, Springfield makes some nice grips. The mil-specs come with Cocobola (exotic hardwood) grips that actually feel pretty nice. I'm all for a nice set of rubber or crimson trace, etc. but nothing really seams to beat a nice wooden pair.

  • There's model 70s ...

    There's model 70s and 80's and the 80's have a firing pin block. You have to depress the little pin under the slide in order to remove the firing pin (which also results in the use of another spring). That's another difference.

  • Hey..good video. Im ...

    Hey..good video. Im an expert on other types of weaponry like the M16, M9, and some towed artillery. This video helped me a lot. My Mil-spec is old as dirt and it needs work to keep it sexy. If you got more video's let me know.

  • I think most people ...

    I think most people who are first attempting a 1911 strip are surprized how easy it is after doing it a couple times. I learned just by taking everything out 1 part at a time, paying attention where everything goes...then just reversed it. Any info I ever give to people is simply based on my observations from shooting one.
    Thanks

  • You know I've seen ...

    You know I've seen some people do it that way, too. As I was telling the person above, some 1911s you HAVE to do it that way (i.e. ones with a 2-piece guide rod). I'd encourage people to try both ways to see which works best for them.

    Thanks!

  • Yeah, I believe ...

    Yeah, I believe most 1911 disassemblies are about the same, with slight differences. The Para for example, will probably come with a 2-piece guide rod (i.e. wart hog) or a full length guide rod. You have to pull the slide back with the spring, pull the slide release, THEN remove the slide and recoil spring, etc. on some models. Some 1911s have a hex tool for the guide rod. But yes, most clones copy the same disassembly.

  • to korn1536, i have ...

    to korn1536, i have found that for me, it is easier to remove the slide, THEN, remove the recoil spring, spring guide, barrel and bushing. hope that makes your job a little easier. :)

  • If you do carry the ...

    If you do carry the front serrations wont hurt anything it might just beat the holster a little. If you dont carry with it then the serrations are great. If its a carry gun you can depress the nose of the gun 1-handed to clear/reload a round if you needed to (that's if you DONT have a FLGR). I know American Rifleman gave good reviews and a lot of owners gave good reviews. One had a mag problem (it came apart after 500 rnds) but they shipped it back and got a replacement one from Taurus for free.

  • Yeah, the Glocks ...

    Yeah, the Glocks and XDs are very simple to field strip. This "complete" strip would be just like a "after 5000 round" type of thing. Preventative maintanence...like changing a fan belt in your car.
