isn't pulling the brush back after going through the barrel the same thing as pushing the brush through the crown end? seen others unscrew the brush after you push it through the barrel so it doesn't have to come back through the crown end.
@GJ710 Well, I always do that with rifles because the barrel is still attached and if you pull back through you'll be pulling junk down into your action, but honestly I need to make an updated video instead of this one because there are much better ways then this...there's a lot of good recommendations from people on here. Thanks!
Great video. What is that yellow stuff on the spring where it connects to the rod? Oops. Guess I'm a dumbass. Read the other comments, so never mind. Except for the great video part. One more thing, have you noticed that, like washing your car, a clean weapon just seems to run better.
Oil in the barrel itself? Why not solvent? I wouldn't want to run oil down my barrel if it's going to leave teflon residue. Your landings and grooves need to grip that bullet. I woudn't be lubricating them with teflon residue. You might not notice it on a pistol that isn't a precision shooting instrument. I DEFINITELY wouldn't do it to a rifle. My Commander in Iraq prohibited the use of oil. We used Strike Hold exclusively. Doesn't leave an oily residue to attract dust and dirt.
No need to clean every day or even every other day, only need to clean after firing the firearm or if the firearm is not in use oiled at least twice a year, anymore is a waste.
@jamesjr934 It's just my personal opinion if Americans can watch an average of 4.5 hours of TV a day, you can take literally a couple minutes to field strip and wipe the dust off of the daily carry gun that will be protecting you and your family's life.
@pedanticmofo I don't really know honestly, I always assumed it was a marking at the factory to let the assemblers know what type of spring it is (i.e. red paint is for 9mm and yellow for 45acp or whatnot). Sometimes my springs have them and sometimes not. It can be cleaned off, or eventually wears off.
man..cleaning your guns everyday sounds like overkill. i could understand oiling the finish every few days to inhibit rust if you live in a humid environment, otherwise i just clean my guns after each range trip. also to the glock vs 1911 flame war going on, i own both, theyre both great guns.
you can also yous zipo lighter fluid it your gun barrel instead of oil to get the led out an it will eat away at the led an copper but if you do this you still should lube
I have 2 1911's and I recently started putting a tiny bit of grease on the slide rails. MUCH nicer. Seems to hang around a bit longer especially fi you are going to throw a few hundred rounds downrange. I also would like to add that I use Hopps #9 bore solvent and patches down the barrel with a 'jag' not the loop like shown. But if there is one thing I can add it is that there are many ways to skin a cat, so do what u like. For the parts I oil I use machine gunners lube.
im having problems with my colt 1911 officer, or i am not sure if it is the ammo, but i keep it clean but after i fire a shot or so i will get a jam, i then have to push the fired casing back into the breach and push the new bullets into the mag, then release mag, then empty chamber, any tips? maybe im cleaning improper,
I believe it's an ammo. But make sure how you lube and oil after cleaning.
I had som jam, with specific ammo. And I stopped use them. I can't tell you now that brand. You need fined your ammo, what perfect for you. And again oil and lube, should be right.
i believed that a nicked crown of the barrels will affect the precise release of the the bullet as it leaves the barrel thereby affecting the accuracy. excellent vid, thanks for sharing. i loved the disassembly and reassembly video.
Great video. Just an observation, you didn't clear the chamber before beginning take down. Even though you dropped the mag there could still be one in there
Didn't read the posts and didn't mean to piss anyone off, just making an observation. Korn is right in his comments below, that safety is up to the individual.
Good informative video. Thanks. I just bought an RIA 1911A1 a couple days ago. I really feel I should clean it and lube it before I go shoot it as well as after shooting.
you definatle have never shot an 1911, number 1 i own a glock 23 and an 1911 both arent match pistols but the 1911 is so accurat at 40 yards plus i hit roughly 13 out of 15 clays and the glock 10 out of 15 so yeah borrow one shoot it 50 rounds then talk crap
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
put down the fucking bong before you talk about guns. glocks are accurate and have a lexus reliability and durability right out of the box! you you 1911 cunts have to spend to get your 1911 to shoot like a glock.
Listen man, I know you're just trying to get a rise and it's ridiculous...you come to a 1911 video to talk trash about a 1911. I'm sure you go around to all sorts of different sites and videos cussing and running your mouth in attempts to fuel your childish "hide behind internet" fights. They're both good firearms that comparing is like comparing a 57 Chevy with a Saturn...calm down.
Does the teflon in the tri-flow with PTFE build up, or does it come off with simple cleaning? This stuff seems great but im not sure to use it because of that.
I haven't experienced build up to date, but you can try other stuff like if you're concerned. There's stuff out there like CLP and RZ50. Remoil I believe is a lot like the stuff I use. There's also grease like Tetra that's good for parts that slide (for some people if it slides=grease, if it pivots=oil).
clean every day? damn dude....maybe if I was an infantry soldier.
I own two rifles, I clean them thoroughly after I shoot'em. Despite that, once in a while I'll give them a light coat of oil once every few months and I have had no problems.
you have to clean as often as you shoot, other then that just keep'em well oiled so as to prevent rust and to keep the action smooth.
but on the other hand I would rather clean too often then not enough.
I'm just saying...people will spend an hour every day getting ready for work, and 4 hours watching TV...but not 10 minutes to wipe the dust off in a quick field strip on the weapon that will be used to protect their family's life.
A good 1911 will fire dirty but it won't fire dry. Oil it up but as you say clean it often. Oil also dries up. A good gun grease for carry with a quick oiling at the range works for me.
at 4:33, at that point i use medical gauze type material that comes in the rolls.. i cut off a long strip of it and thread the end 2inches through the hole, then wrap the rest around the tool so it fits really tightly in the barrel. then i drizzle on some oil. keeps the metal tool from touching the inside of the barrel and cleans all around really well. i spin the tool as im moving it back and forth to keep it wrapped tightly around it. seems to work quite well
Well what I do is... I brush out the barrel and then run it through with a patch soaked with solvent, like you I like Hoppes. And I do that until it comes out clean. Then rub down all the rest of the parts with solvent, to get all the built up carbon out of it. If you think you did a good enough job do it again. Then oil up all the moving parts WELL put it back together and oil them again.
Firing a gun through a barrel that has oil (or water for that matter) should not be done. I always put oil in my barrel to help prevent rust caused by moisture in the air and by your skin through daily carry, but if you put oil in your barrel, you should always run dry patches through until they come out clean...as you also would after using a solvent (like CLP or whatever you chose). Any liquid put in the barrel needs dried before firing.

@roycannon78 "Ass hoe"? You can't even spell, moron...let alone write coherent sentence. People like you...the truly stupid ones...take some of the fun away from Youtube. It seems all you CAN do is call other names. It's a shame you're so insecure! Go back to school, learn to spell, learn sentence structure, and learn some manners! Then maybe you'll be worth listening to.
I saw that you removed a full magazine of ammunition from the firearm,but did not check to see if the chamber was loaded.Teaching this sort of behavior to new firearms owners is both dangerous and irresponsible.I not sure where you learned this unsafe practice but it should not be taught to other people.The rest of the video is a good tutorial on how to disassemble and clean 1911-A1 style firearm.
Listen people, no more of these comments. This is it. I'm tired of explaining myself. I'm not an instructor & I never claimed to be. Safety is an individual's responsibility & if you're expecting to learn safety tips from an unknown person's video on youtube then you probably shouldn't own a gun to begin with. I know the status of all my guns at all times. This one was cleared, checked, double checked, then the hammer was dropped. The mag was inserted, I pressed play, then dropped it out...
...1) There was no round ever chambered 2) Even if there was, the hammer is dropped; it was a safer then safe situation. It is YOUR responsibility to make yourself safe. If some of you folks cannot understand this, then I suggest YOU make a gun safety video instead of going around making these jump-to-conclusion type arrogant remarks. Again, I'm not a teacher. I only made these videos after getting piles of e-mails begging me to. If you do not agree, then DO NOT WATCH!
Well, I was a firearms instructor for the USMC in addition to my regular MOS, and I'm telling you that you should have brass checked that chamber.
You have MADE yourself an instructor by virtue of the fact that you made a how-to video and posted it online, and even if you don't think you're a teacher, people learn by example.
First rule: Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.
Well good for you. You obviously didn't teach the "paying attention" class in the USMC. If you did you would have seen that 1.) The explanation was already given in previous posts, and the chamber WAS in fact checked 2.) I state in the video to check your chamber. If you can't pay attention to that, then you're a retard and don't need to own a gun. What's an USMC "instructor" such as yourself doing viewing a cleaning your gun video? I'm calling you out as a fraud.
Someone pointed this video out to me as a perfect example of what not to do. The rest of the vid is fine except that you dropped a loaded mag out of the weapon and didn't brass check. A good friend of mine was shot when his roommate did the exact same thing, getting ready to clean his pistol - didn't check the chamber.
Also, I don't need to prove a goddamn thing to you about my service in the Marines. The only reason I mentioned it is because, yes, I do know what the fuck I'm talking about.
Ok retard. I'm blocking you because you are a liar and an asshole. READ THE POSTS you illiterate dick. I did check the chamber...twice, before I hit play. I state to check the chamber in my video AND in the posts here. You cannot be a Marine. If all Marines were like you, I'd be typing in German right now.
Great advice, and nice video too. I don't personally own a gun yet, but I'm hoping to get this model eventually. Not sure which one I want as my first. Just want something with little recoil and accurate fire. Thanks for the vid bud it was great!!
Ever since Springfield started using MIM parts they have been getting sloppy frames and slides from their supplier (IMBEL of Brazil). I used to have a SA 1911-A1 "90s ed." (circa 1991-the first line of slightly enhanced mil-spec models) and regret trading it when I did (that was years ago). Seller's remorse is worse than buyer's remorse.
First off, there is no reason to clean that pistol every day unless you are firing it every day or taking a 20 mile hike through the desert daily. And why are you running a patch saturated with oil through the bore? Did you mean solvent?
If it's a defensive carry pistol, then there's every reason in the world to clean it every single day. Dust, lint, sweat, particles in the air...all are daily contaminants. Anyone who carries should know this. I use oil and solvent, but yes occationally oil as a rust preventative, but I make sure to keep the barrel dry.
Really? What do you use to clean your ears out? (badoom-cha). Maybe you need R or S Tips instead (badoom-cha).
Seriously though, I use the name brand and haven't had a problem, but I have heard other people say they don't like them. I haven't noticed debris personally, but I'd rather have a little wet debris left behind then some dry dirt in little crevasses. To each their own.
I've never tried it (I've never heard of it), but I will check my local Cabela's out to see if they carry any next time to give it a try. CMD, Gun Butter, Bore-Tech, and Break-Free CLP seem like the most poular...and I've heard of people using graphite or even silicone. I've used some thick ones before, but my problem was it lasted too long for me. I clean my guns on a near-daily basis and trying to scrape the thick paste out of the rails everyday was a pain. Thanks for the recommendation!
It is pretty accurate, as are most 5" barreled guns. Some polymer 5" have unsupported barrels, however, which decrease accuracy...1911's are supported, so it's not an issue. Some friends of mine have 1911's, but they all seem to admire this Springfield one.
I've heard a lot of good things about the Custom II's. I was actually split between a Kimber, a Para hi-cap, and a Mil-spec. I didn't want a double stack Para and I was leary of the PXT extractor they use, and the Kimber was just out of my price range for the time, or else I would have bought one myself. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I actually like the Kimber SIS they came out with too, if it wasn't for the stupid serrations they use on their slide.
You'll just make up your own schedule as you go along. I personally field strip clean mine on close to a daily basis, whether it's fired or not. The reason is dust particles and lint (if you carry) can settle in the barrel, rails, etc. If you don't conceal carry with the gun, then yeah after every 50 or 100 I think would be fine. After about a few thousand is when I do a detail strip clean.
hey man nice gun something you should get are some recoil buffers for it they are availible from wilson combat,buffer technologies and others you should be able to purchase them from your local gunshop and they prevent the slide from impacting them main spring guide rod metal impacting metal is bad of course and recoil buffers help the life of your gun :))
I'm glad you mentioned that because here's the thing with shock buffers: The one I used limited rearward slide travel just enough that the slide lock did not engage every time. More importaintly, if one comes apart while in your gun in a self-defense situation the jam it causes could possibly be in-clearable when you need it. People like Ed Brown highly recommend them for range guns, but never for a self-defense gun; Springfield assured me their frames are strong enough to withstands impacts.
ive never had a problem with them in my gun sprinfield armory mil-spec mine is an early 2000 nm frame though.and your right when i carry mine i dont use recoil buffers myself i only use them when i plan on spending a day at the rang im also a big ed brown fan myself
did you fire rounds through it before t his cleaning? Even after 50 rnds, for a quick clean, I like to brush all the parts w/ a nylon brush soaked in break free. then wipe clean. oil w/ shooters choice fp10. Is that too much.? if 200 rounds go through barrel then I do an extra step and use hoppes on the bore. What schedule should i follow? after every range trip?
You know, now that I think about it...I clean my barrel with oil every day as a rust preventative, but what I didn't tell you: After heavy shooting, I do the brush to remove heavy build-up, then I soak a patch in Hoppes and run it through to clean it, then I dry patch it, then oil. On a normal basis though, I just use oil. Just me.
Ok no making fun of my "nasaly" voice. Also, the guide rod does not really ride along the barrel like I said. It just sits up against the frame, but I oil it because it makes contact in recoil. Don't ram the cleaning rod down the barrel like I did either, take your time...I just have a junk barrel that I was demonstrating with. I repeat a cleaning solvent/dry/oil procedure, with heavy oil. I use to not put that much, but now I do and I've never had a single failure of any kind. Clean every day!!
isn't pulling the brush back after going through the barrel the same thing as pushing the brush through the crown end? seen others unscrew the brush after you push it through the barrel so it doesn't have to come back through the crown end.

Oil in the barrel itself? Why not solvent? I wouldn't want to run oil down my barrel if it's going to leave teflon residue. Your landings and grooves need to grip that bullet.

My Commander in Iraq prohibited the use of oil. We used Strike Hold exclusively. Doesn't leave an oily residue to attract dust and dirt.

Teflon is best for lubrication. It doesn't migrate, which is a +/-. It doesn't provide any rust protection, though.

I saw that you removed a full magazine of ammunition from the firearm,but did not check to see if the chamber was loaded.Teaching this sort of behavior to new firearms owners is both dangerous and irresponsible.I not sure where you learned this unsafe practice but it should not be taught to other people.The rest of the video is a good tutorial on how to disassemble and clean 1911-A1 style firearm.

Listen people, no more of these comments. This is it. I'm tired of explaining myself. I'm not an instructor & I never claimed to be. Safety is an individual's responsibility & if you're expecting to learn safety tips from an unknown person's video on youtube then you probably shouldn't own a gun to begin with. I know the status of all my guns at all times. This one was cleared, checked, double checked, then the hammer was dropped. The mag was inserted, I pressed play, then dropped it out...

...1) There was no round ever chambered 2) Even if there was, the hammer is dropped; it was a safer then safe situation. It is YOUR responsibility to make yourself safe. If some of you folks cannot understand this, then I suggest YOU make a gun safety video instead of going around making these jump-to-conclusion type arrogant remarks. Again, I'm not a teacher. I only made these videos after getting piles of e-mails begging me to. If you do not agree, then DO NOT WATCH!

Well, I was a firearms instructor for the USMC in addition to my regular MOS, and I'm telling you that you should have brass checked that chamber.
You have MADE yourself an instructor by virtue of the fact that you made a how-to video and posted it online, and even if you don't think you're a teacher, people learn by example.
First rule: Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.

Well good for you. You obviously didn't teach the "paying attention" class in the USMC. If you did you would have seen that 1.) The explanation was already given in previous posts, and the chamber WAS in fact checked 2.) I state in the video to check your chamber. If you can't pay attention to that, then you're a retard and don't need to own a gun. What's an USMC "instructor" such as yourself doing viewing a cleaning your gun video? I'm calling you out as a fraud.
korn1536 3 years ago
Someone pointed this video out to me as a perfect example of what not to do. The rest of the vid is fine except that you dropped a loaded mag out of the weapon and didn't brass check. A good friend of mine was shot when his roommate did the exact same thing, getting ready to clean his pistol - didn't check the chamber.
Also, I don't need to prove a goddamn thing to you about my service in the Marines. The only reason I mentioned it is because, yes, I do know what the fuck I'm talking about.
shipyaad 3 years ago
Ok retard. I'm blocking you because you are a liar and an asshole. READ THE POSTS you illiterate dick. I did check the chamber...twice, before I hit play. I state to check the chamber in my video AND in the posts here. You cannot be a Marine. If all Marines were like you, I'd be typing in German right now.

p.s. Guns don't go bang unless you pull the trigger. If you were really an instructor, you'd probably know that.
korn1536 3 years ago
dumbass, in the video he even said to make sure there is no ammo, and if someone needs to see how cuz they dont know, they shouldnt own a gun

Thank you!
korn1536 3 years ago
Great advice, and nice video too. I don't personally own a gun yet, but I'm hoping to get this model eventually. Not sure which one I want as my first. Just want something with little recoil and accurate fire. Thanks for the vid bud it was great!!

Ever since Springfield started using MIM parts they have been getting sloppy frames and slides from their supplier (IMBEL of Brazil). I used to have a SA 1911-A1 "90s ed." (circa 1991-the first line of slightly enhanced mil-spec models) and regret trading it when I did (that was years ago). Seller's remorse is worse than buyer's remorse.

First off, there is no reason to clean that pistol every day unless you are firing it every day or taking a 20 mile hike through the desert daily. And why are you running a patch saturated with oil through the bore? Did you mean solvent?
brian1269 3 years ago
If it's a defensive carry pistol, then there's every reason in the world to clean it every single day. Dust, lint, sweat, particles in the air...all are daily contaminants. Anyone who carries should know this. I use oil and solvent, but yes occationally oil as a rust preventative, but I make sure to keep the barrel dry.
korn1536 3 years ago
I do not like q tips.. leave to much debris behind and can accumulate.
251jamesp 3 years ago
Really? What do you use to clean your ears out? (badoom-cha). Maybe you need R or S Tips instead (badoom-cha).
Seriously though, I use the name brand and haven't had a problem, but I have heard other people say they don't like them. I haven't noticed debris personally, but I'd rather have a little wet debris left behind then some dry dirt in little crevasses. To each their own.
korn1536 3 years ago
you should try Militec 1, man.
It doesn't protect against rust, but it really lubes things well.
Teflon is just a repeating chain(polymer) of carbons with flourines attached.
in other words, it's an amazing compound, but there are better things out there.
Honestly, when I lubed up my kimber with militec1 for the first time I could instantly feel a difference.

I've never tried it (I've never heard of it), but I will check my local Cabela's out to see if they carry any next time to give it a try. CMD, Gun Butter, Bore-Tech, and Break-Free CLP seem like the most poular...and I've heard of people using graphite or even silicone. I've used some thick ones before, but my problem was it lasted too long for me. I clean my guns on a near-daily basis and trying to scrape the thick paste out of the rails everyday was a pain. Thanks for the recommendation!
korn1536 3 years ago
ohh, well it's not thick, it's a liquid that binds to the metal surface.
I used CLP, but I hated having it ooze out everywhere.

Good, I'll probably like it then.

would you reccomend this pistol? is it an accurate gun?
dime9876 3 years ago
It is pretty accurate, as are most 5" barreled guns. Some polymer 5" have unsupported barrels, however, which decrease accuracy...1911's are supported, so it's not an issue. Some friends of mine have 1911's, but they all seem to admire this Springfield one.
korn1536 3 years ago
i'm either going to get the springfield mil-spec (modify it afterwards) or get a kimber custom II. i might just wind up getting both though.
dime9876 3 years ago
I've heard a lot of good things about the Custom II's. I was actually split between a Kimber, a Para hi-cap, and a Mil-spec. I didn't want a double stack Para and I was leary of the PXT extractor they use, and the Kimber was just out of my price range for the time, or else I would have bought one myself. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I actually like the Kimber SIS they came out with too, if it wasn't for the stupid serrations they use on their slide.
korn1536 3 years ago
the sis is way out of my range
dime9876 3 years ago
You'll just make up your own schedule as you go along. I personally field strip clean mine on close to a daily basis, whether it's fired or not. The reason is dust particles and lint (if you carry) can settle in the barrel, rails, etc. If you don't conceal carry with the gun, then yeah after every 50 or 100 I think would be fine. After about a few thousand is when I do a detail strip clean.
korn1536 3 years ago
hey man nice gun something you should get are some recoil buffers for it they are availible from wilson combat,buffer technologies and others you should be able to purchase them from your local gunshop and they prevent the slide from impacting them main spring guide rod metal impacting metal is bad of course and recoil buffers help the life of your gun :))
ConfederateWill 3 years ago
I'm glad you mentioned that because here's the thing with shock buffers: The one I used limited rearward slide travel just enough that the slide lock did not engage every time. More importaintly, if one comes apart while in your gun in a self-defense situation the jam it causes could possibly be in-clearable when you need it. People like Ed Brown highly recommend them for range guns, but never for a self-defense gun; Springfield assured me their frames are strong enough to withstands impacts.
korn1536 3 years ago
Oh, but anyway, I forgot to say thanks for your input, and I do agree with you that they'll extend your frame life.
korn1536 3 years ago
ive never had a problem with them in my gun sprinfield armory mil-spec mine is an early 2000 nm frame though.and your right when i carry mine i dont use recoil buffers myself i only use them when i plan on spending a day at the rang im also a big ed brown fan myself
ConfederateWill 3 years ago
did you fire rounds through it before t his cleaning? Even after 50 rnds, for a quick clean, I like to brush all the parts w/ a nylon brush soaked in break free. then wipe clean. oil w/ shooters choice fp10. Is that too much.? if 200 rounds go through barrel then I do an extra step and use hoppes on the bore. What schedule should i follow? after every range trip?
bubejunkie 3 years ago
You know, now that I think about it...I clean my barrel with oil every day as a rust preventative, but what I didn't tell you: After heavy shooting, I do the brush to remove heavy build-up, then I soak a patch in Hoppes and run it through to clean it, then I dry patch it, then oil. On a normal basis though, I just use oil. Just me.
korn1536 3 years ago
i clean the inside of my guns with rem oil, but i get the outside with a silicone cloth. it works out pretty well.
dime9876 3 years ago
Ok no making fun of my "nasaly" voice. Also, the guide rod does not really ride along the barrel like I said. It just sits up against the frame, but I oil it because it makes contact in recoil. Don't ram the cleaning rod down the barrel like I did either, take your time...I just have a junk barrel that I was demonstrating with. I repeat a cleaning solvent/dry/oil procedure, with heavy oil. I use to not put that much, but now I do and I've never had a single failure of any kind. Clean every day!!
