10mm with a 6" barrel, specifically?

Just bought a slightly used one.  Looks like the slide assembly comes off as one unit?  

Vids would be helpful if anyone has a link.  

It's in jail until Monday afternoon.

I haven't had the opportunity to take out any 6" 1911s, but why wouldn't it take apart like any other 1911? Or do you mean removing the spring assembly after removing the slide?

Does the guide rod have a hole in it that's visible when the slide is pulled all the way back? If so you can capture that with a paperclip that's bent to fit and the whole deal comes out.

I don’t still have mine so I can’t remember if it’s the same as my STI.

Holy resurrection guys!  Lol. I'd forgotten all about this thread.  

It has a GI spring guide and a blank reverse plug.  So  the slide assembly comes off as a single unit and reassembles the same.   A real pain in the tookus of using anything stronger than a 20# spring.  In fact, l can't even hold a stronger spring in place.  

I wish it had a one piece guide rod like my RIA 10mm, cause that's a breeze. But that doesn't look like an option for a 6" gun.

Things move slowly in this forum, it seems.

Yeah the main 1911 forum is the better place to go.

I was hoping a Springfield rep would come in.  Guess there isn't one.
