Could I confirm with you if this is the 108285 variant from S&W?

@ck279 Yes, this is the one with the SKU 108285.

This was absolutely perfect for me! I was able to field strip and (finally) clean my lightly used S&W "Scandium" 1911PD .45 without a hitch just by following along. I was a bit intimidated, but no longer! Many Thanks!

Thanks for the great video. I just got an American Classic II 1911 which is very similar to your S&W. The disassembly and reassembly instructions have no illustrations. This is my first 1911 so your video made things simple.

@RaidingWindmills  Yours is the best review on how to field strip the S & W 1911 pistol, Thank's for posting. I love my new 1911 & I even bought a couple of Tripps magazines to use with it, Great Magazines

@perspicacity89 Yeah I've learned some about firearms in general now. Saw one of them at the gun shop. Looked nice. If I were going to pay 3000 it'd probably be for a BR or AR though. Most mid-to-high-price guns are very nice. Their parts are well machined--even the innards look pro. The innards are thick metal--not just plastic or unpolished aluminum. Expect to pay US $600+ for a decent centerfire pistol or rifle. I wonder how much the US Army pays for its M16's. Anyone know?

Is this process any different with the shorter concealed carry ones? I inherited a Colt Mk. IV 380 from my dad and wanted to go shoot it sometime soon. Thanks.
