Kimber 1911 Field Strip - Clean / Oil / Reassemble (Part 2 of 2)

[thegizmoguy1]

I suggest putting a few drops of oil on a q-tip and using that instead. You can get much thinner layers down in tighter spaces.

Thanks bro this really helped. I just got my first pistol, a 1911 smith a wesson. Im so stoked. This was my first time cleaning it. It was harder than i thought. But thanks again for the help.

How do you go back and run a patch through the barrel after you have reassembled the gun before you shoot it?

[StratoCruiser007]

Your video is SUPERB!!!!!! Very nicely done!!

Thank you! Great vid, perfect pace for a mechanical idiot like me. My Kimber is so much more complex to strip than my Glock. Very helpful.

Your video is very helpful. I bought a new CDP 11 Kimber full size and yesterday it took me three tries and a spring flying across the room before I finally got it right. Despite your precise instructions I did have a problem getting the slide ti return to battery even with magazine inside the gun. I found out later that I did not have the slide stop pushed in correctly. Thank you again nothing beats hands on experience.

boss is it ok to do dry fire????and how about reloaded ammo?is it also ok to use it?

[MrNeedsdecaf]

How did your slide stop install so easily? I was told to use something to hold that spring loaded slide release back while you try to snap it in.

@MrNeedsdecaf the slide stop should not be difficult to reinstall. if it is, then there is probably something wrong.

What about the drop between the hammer and frame?

[mypcblewup]

@D3FC0N0N3 - good point! All Kimbers come with an Owner's Manual and in there it will include the drop you mention.
