Recently I purchased a used S&W 1911
Ive read through a few disassembly guides and seen a couple video animations of disassembly. Ive field stripped it several times now without any problems. Looking at the video they have posted here: http://www.m1911.org/stripin1.htm the pins seem to come out very easily when completely disassembling the gun, but the problem is that mine won't budge, even if i push on them as hard as i feel is safe (dont want to have the punch slip off and scratch the frame) So what am I doing wrong? I know Ive missed something. Thanks |

Im a noob I cant figure out how to get the private messages to work... A couple of the links no longer work on the page you linked to : Disassembly of Springfield EMP Reassembling of Springfield EMP Field stripping the Springfield TRP 1911 those three. Seems youtube has taken down the videos.

So far Ive only focused on the one that is on the barrel, which attaches the thing the slide lock mounts through, not sure of its name. But ive tried a few of the others and they arent easily movable either. I know of absolutely no reason to pull the link off, unless you're looking to actually replace it. The MSH pin will require hammering or a good deal of pressure, since you are fighting the mainspring in part. The hammer and sear pins should drop out with little provacation - but of course, things must be disassembled in order. |

Just to throw out the obvious in the event it was overlooked...
The hammer and trigger pins are one sided, meaning they you can only knock them out in one direction (from right to left) and they can be reinserted in reverse (left to right). If you need more than mild to (lightly) moderate force here, you're probably working backwards. |

+1 Absolutely NO need to remove the Barrel Link Pin just for cleaning. It's staked in place for a reason. Use Q-tips, pipe cleaners, liberal amount of CLP, whatever, to clean under there. No point in fighting with this pin just for cleaning. Sorry, but what is CLP? |
