Let me first state to 1911Tuner that his magic slurry treatment works exactly as described by him and others that have tried it. Last Sunday I whipped up a batch and was drizzling it all over my .45 8 hours later. I applied it, cycled the slide 130 times with the spring and bushing installed, applied more for another 120 cycles and then cleaned everything up with a rag followed by a complete hosing off with the Gummout Carb cleaner. Then I scrubbed everything down with Hoppes no.9 Auto solvent and then regular Hoppes, wiped everything off and oiled the slide rails with Rem Oil and oiled the rest of the gun as usual. Next day I jacked the slide a few times and *butter on glass* is a very good description of what I felt in my hands now. All grit and roughness GONE!
Anyhow, today I went to a poorly lighted indoor range with 100rds Winchester 230gr ball target ammo, 50 rds UMC 230gr ball and 50rds Blazer Brass 230gr ball ammo. 200rds total. Failures of any kind: 0. All rounds fired loaded through the single Springfield magazine. On all but 2 clips I chambered the first round by depressing the slide stop from a locked back slide, and the slide on the last clip closed just as slick and smooth as it did on the first clip. The other 2 clips I loaded into a closed action with the hammer down and sling shotted the slide. Everything worked perfectly although I did get beaned in the forehead with a few of the ejected brass cases, most of them went sort of straight up and a little to the right. I'm gonna have lots of fun with this here 1911, yes sir. Also, I went straight from the range and picked up a nice Galco Cop Series three slot holster, this .45 deserves good leather.
