Hello folks,
I have a Springfield 1911 Loaded model. I have put roughly 1000 rounds through the firearm and have had almost no failures (except when experimenting with cheap ammo). After the range, I always remove the slide, clean and lube the barrel, clean/lube the contact points between the slide and the frame, and lube the hammer. I've never taken apart the trigger mechanism or the firing pin/bolt assembly, however they don't appear to be dirty at all. Is that something that I should regularly do? There doesn't seem to be any instructions in the manual for this, should I bring it to a gun smith? Also, are there any parts in the 1911 I should replace on a regular basis, ie: the recoil spring? Thanks for the help gents!
