When I got my first 1911, the thought of disassembling and reassembling it was a bit intimidating. So, I decided to make this video, shot in a well lit interior studio type setting, with clear, close ups and explanations. Respectfully offered for your use and consideration and sharing with others.
I can do, um, that blindfolded too, but Jean prefers to do it for me. :smt083
Oh-sorry-that isn't the "that" that you meant.
You know, I never did learn to detail-strip a M1911 without looking. Field-strip, yes. But the detail-strip part involves "fiddly bits" and things that go together tightly, so I have to look.
I have to assume that you know that the trigger/sear/grip-safety spring is the screwdriver for removing the grips.
No, we went and did the IDPA SO class there in February and I try to shoot one state match a year, this year the Back Stoppers match fit my schedule. Trust me though, if I lived in Missouri I'd be a member in a heart beat. That range is fabulous!
Amsdorf, not trying to rain on your party or trying to be a smart ass, but are you aware that you installed the action spring backward, the closed end of the spring should go over the guide rod and the opened end should screw onto the plug.

Must have watch it before you added it, no big deal bro, keep on trucking on.
