15 minutes is all it takes to completely field strip and detail strip a mass market M1911A1. This particular one is a Rock Island Armory from around 2006-2008 timeframe. I decided to show how it can be done with no tools since I think it illustrates the forward thinking genius of John Browning to create something so easy to perform detailed service over 100 years ago.
These techniques are field expedients and this is mainly done to show that it can be done. It doesn’t necessarily work with every 1911 type pistol from every manufacturer.
