Again, I fear that most 1911 shooters do not have the technical knowledge to know if their gun is in "perfect working order".
Why? It ain't that hard. Just check the thumb and grip safety independently. Make sure the hammer positively locks into place when fully cocked and make sure it stops at half-cock with the grip safety released. Drop a pencil (eraser first) down the muzzle and dry fire it to make sure the firing pin shoots it up out of the barrel. Heck, I even learned how to detail strip my 1911s from tutorials available on-line.
