[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3212992, member: 9220"] So I am watching the disassembly video, at 50 seconds the poster dry fires the frame with the slide removed -- I am not a 1911 guru; but this goes against what I have been taught about the 1911, I have been told that it can damage the frame and the hammer -- I myself have not seen the damage. This is usually where my old man (my father, a great man -- becomes even greater as I get older) would reach across and smack the right side of the top of my head (I swear I can feel the mark; I call it the "dent in my head") -- Old School !!! So has anyone ever seen the damage? Even the Colt owners manual advises against it: Page 14; [URL]https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/media.connecteddatasolutions.com/downloads/mkiv+series+80+%26+90+pistols.pdf[/URL] Hey, it is his firearm, but as a frequent used firearm buyer, I think I would like to know how a firearms is maintained.
