[QUOTE="tul9033, post: 927924, member: 2319"] Thanks Dustin, I didn't know that was what it was called until I Googled it and see that's it quite common. It was written that 1911's are either idiot marked or waiting to be idiot marked. This was my first big "fancy" piece and the first time I clean it I mark it. Had some trouble getting the recoil spring back in too. I see that people recommend putting the slide lock back in before the recoil spring. That little detent was causing me issues as well as fighting the spring tension. I cleaned my STI Spartan today and didn't have a problem with it. :anyone: I'll get over it, it's not really that bad. It's not brushed stainless, but Flitz will help if I want to mess with it. I'm sure it will happen a few more times, but I will be much more careful in the future. [/QUOTE]
