I've always owned sigs and glocks, and have been quite happy with them. Everyone always said they were easy to field strip, but until recently I had no idea. Just for kicks I recently got a 1911, a Kimber. I gotta say I love it.
I'm having a little trouble getting it back together though. I mean, I get it back together just fine, it just seems to take a lot of effort.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks that make reassembly a little easier? My biggest problem so far is reassembling the recoil spring plug . . .pushing it down and getting the barrel bushing to lock it in place. Any help in this area or any helpful knowledge on the rest of the field stripping process would be great.
If this is something that just takes practice to get used to I'm more than willing to put in the effort to learn, but any advise from those of you who have been doing it longer than I've been alive is appreciated.
thanks,
