Watch out for the idiot mark.  Some really nice 1911s that I've seen have them.  All my 1911s are shooters, or borderline beaters, so whatevahs.

Yeah, that mark was mentioned in many disassembly vids. At first i was lost, but now i get it.

Mine will have 1. Plus what ever other scratches from being on the dirt.

some can drop the slide, some cannot.  seems like depends on the trigger/trigger job on the 1911

I saw a post about using screw anchors as a DIY dummy rounds.  If anyone has or is using them, what size are you using for 22LR?  Have you use them for other calibers (also what size are you using)?
Thanks

The small yellow ones work well for .22 revolvers.  You'd have to try them out in an autoloader to see if they'll feed from a magazine (or just single load them, of course). 

BTW just joking about HKs. If an HK was a female it would be AOC while a 1911 would be Patricia Ford.

Soooo, which one would you hit first?

I use the yellow ones in my Smith and Wesson M41. I put them at random positions in 5 round magazines and shuffle the magazines under a cloth, and load them into the pistol at random so I can learn to control recoil anticipation. They last for about 20 dryfires each.

Hope the Google search didn't bring up pics of her now, in the "themes" of back in the early 90s. . .

Forgot to add that you may consider a bushing wrench.  I have a plastic one I can give you.

The bushing on my RIA 1911 can be removed/worked by hand.  Don't need anything except being careful to not let the spring go flying.  Some 1911 folks advised me to get a wrench, but I never saw the need.  That was until I came across a 1911 where the bushing was WELL fitted.  I thought the sucker was stuck, but even with some lube, it takes a bit to move it.  I now have a metal bushing wrench from a friend, and that makes the takedown way easier.

I'll let you know. Gonna try the by hand method first.  And when ever I work with spring loaded stuff, I wear eye pro.

She did take the shim of the 22 barrel, when 2 other guys couldn't.

If it doesn't come off by hand, add more lube
