Should I remove the recoil spring, plug, and barrel bushing before doing that, Tuner?
No. Just smack it as it lays...straight into the muzzle.

I feel vindicated Another good reason not to have a FLGR in your 1911rcmodel said:At this point, I second the suggestion to set the bottom edge of the slide just below the barrel against a solid wood bench-top and jump on it with all your weight on the grip.

SO, what was the problem after you got it open and apart to find out??
Inquiring minds want to know??

Something doesn't sound right, so after taking time to post a thread and struggling to free the slide and finally succeed, you don't immediately break it down and see whats up???
I wouldn't have though 150 rounds would do that to a 1911 that is as loose as a factory Colt. I wonder where the rust came from?
