| I shoot mine on a regular basis but use low power reloads. Always an option for CDP in IDPA matches

| Was in a military police reserve company back in the 80's, for those who say the .45's were worn out by the time they were taken out of stock, i had to do inventory on them, we had 250 1911's, when we had to qualify they just pulled out the first 50, so 200 never left the vault except for cleaning weekend, we had a Singer, 4 Union Switch and Signals, some commercial Colt's, 10 National matches for the pistol team, and then the whole Rem Rand,Ithaca,and Colt line. 200 prime .45's that went into that vault in 1955 and then were never abused. It made me cry when we had to go to the M9's. |

When I was an enlisted guy in the 80’s I was in a medical unit. They had about 12 45’s, all Remington Rand and all original never rebuilt. I would judge them to be in 90%+ condition. Same deal, they would just take the first six out for qualification day, clean and put away. When we had annual training, those few issued pistols would put them in the holster, carry for two weeks clean and turn back in. No abuse at all. Some even put a zip lock back around them before holstering to keep them clean for turn in! |
