I completely disassembled both of these cleaned and tweaked the triggers a bit. I got them back together with no left over parts! First time doing that, I used a couple of good videos. Hardest part for me is getting the pin back through the disco and the sear. The hammer some times give me problems but the full size one was easy, the Ed Brown commander took a while. Both of these were built in 2010.   JEREMIAH 33:3 | ||

Thank you. I like stainless 1911s and I like them to have realatively clean slides. I also want checkered front and back straps. These fit the bill for me. JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

You did better than me, about 12 years ago I did the same with my dad’s series 70. Got it back together but unknowingly broke the sear on reassembly. Pulled trigger once and 4 rounds of .45 fired out! Almost shot the damn roof at the indoor range. Last time I ever did that, gunsmith fixed it lol | |||

I have a S/S Ed Brown Kobra. It is my favorite 1911, like it much better than my WC even. I also like my 9mm Colt S/S government | |||

Very nice! It always cracks me up when the Glock guys get all excited about how simple their design is, and that the only tool you need to take it down is a punch. Yeah, JMB did the same thing with the 1911 over 100 years ago, lol (although you do need a cartridge rim to deal with the grip screws).
My go-to approach for that is to use a wooden toothpick (the round kind, not the flat kind) as a slave pin to get it started, then come through from the other side with the sear pin. The tapered end of the toothpick makes it easier to get in there before everything is lined up, and then you can use directional pressure on the toothpick to align everything properly as you insert the sear pin. ----------------------------------------------------------- Any comments made by this poster are my own and do not reflect the views or opinions of my employer. | |||
