Re: My First 1911 (Springfield)

i'd detail strip it. i detail strip every gun i own, and clean all the parts. it's amazing how tiny bits of metal shavings left by the manufacturer can make your triggers and stuff feel gritty.

a 1911 is one of the easiest pistols to detail strip.

i've had a couple of stainless 1911s and never used grease. i don't see that it would hurt, just not for me; and my 1911s see hard use.

you will find that stainless pistols are easier to care for. it's easy to replicate the finish when you get a scratch on it without having to refinish it.
