1911 Colt .45's are such a simple design.

I took it apart and cleaned it today for the first time and then decided to time myself. On my 4th or 5th try I got 51.375 seconds. And that taking it apart AND putting it back together, pulling the slide back to ensure proper operation, and setting the hammer back to the proper position.

M1 Carbine coming up next.

I can never get that stupid little ring to line up with the holes in the slide so that I can put the pin back through. That's ususally the only hang up I get.

They are hard to take apart compared to a glock. First couple times I cleaned my 1911 it was a pita to get back together. Now it isn't to bad.

Forrest: Done, Drill Sergeant!

Drill Sergeant: Gump! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?

Forrest: You told me to, Drill Sergeant.

Drill Sergeant: Jesus Christ! This is a new company record. If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man, I'd recommended you for O.C.S., Private Gump. You are gonna be a General some day, Gump! Now, disassemble your weapon and continue!

lol 1.06 seconds would be outrageous.

And those are some nice guns you got there. Heres a pic of my 1911. It was my great grandfathers in the war and it was made in 1946. 100% original.

Nice Para-Ordiance P14 you got there. For the money, you won't find a better 1911 out there and they blow their more expensive Kimber counterparts out of the water.

Hey Green GT, was your 1911 manufactured by Colt or Springfield Armory? As I recall, I think that both companies made it during WWII. Just curious.

Heres some Info from wikipedia.com.
wikipedia said:
The M1911 is a single-action, semiautomatic handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It was designed by John Browning, and was the standard-issue side arm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Its formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original Model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam era. In total, the United States procured around 2.7 million M1911 and M1911A1 pistols during its service life.
