Springfield Armory Colt 1911 Disassembly, Cleaning,& Assembly. 

Actually a very clear and concise step by step instructional video.

You don’t need to move the barrel around to see the hole in the link where the slide stop goes. The slide stop does not need to be pressed really hard to go in; if it slips, it will leave a nasty scratch in your slide. If you have it in the right spot, it will simply snap in.

Before you attempt to remove the mainspring housing, depress the trigger so the hammer is not under tension! This will release the pressure on the mainspring. By the way , Springfield no longer uses a capture pin for the mainspring causing reassembly very difficult! When I called them they said, “ We thought we don’t need that part anymore”! You can’t put a capture spring in because the parts are proprietary dimensions and are not milspec! Be aware!

Excellent info here. Subscribed.

Thank you so much

I love ❤ a Springfield 45 I have 3 of them

😯😯😯👍👍👍😁😃😃verygood

is the sear spring has relation to light primer at 6.38 minutes???????

Good job, thanks for sharing, are you a armorer? Where did you learn the process?

U do know that when you disassemble it that far you VOID YOUR WARRANTY and especially if you change parts.and not done Springfield

Crazy! You need to drop the hammer before you take out the hammer spring housing pin. Takes the pressure off the hamner spring.👎

Wait how do you put Springfield and JUNK COLT in the same sentence ?why not just say Springfield Armory 1911 mil-spec

Maybe learn the names of the parts, just sayin

I will concede that the SA is the best out of the box 1911 "mil-spec" out there. Problem......having the "best" 1911 is analogous to crapping the best smelling turds. Yes, Matilda. 1911s do, in fact, SUCK.

Learn the part nomenclature instead of this "thing" and that "thing"

inadequate equipment and incorrect disassembly sequence

This is possibly one of the worst demos I've ever seen. I've disassembled Springfield ARMORY 1911S for almost 20 years and taken courses disassembly, reassembly. You failed to mention some of the parts during the disassembly. EX. Barrel bushing, recoil spring, barrel link, etc. While you did mention some of these parts during reassembly that didn't help the disassembly process. If any of your listeners are newbies, beginners or inexperienced 1911 owners they need to be about every part and have everything identified. You didn't do that.
