It's a standard bushing barrel 1911, so you'll have a goodly number of Youtube videos.
The bushing shouldn't be tight enough that it requires a bushing wrench.
Two notes about 1911s for a new owner: don't let the hammer drop with the slide off the frame and don't let the slide fly forward on an empty chamber (the 1911 trigger mechanism isn't the same as other trigger systems).

Good rule of thumb to not do this on ANY pistols. Good etiquette at the very least when handling guns that are not yours.

Make sure you watch a video on how to put it back together without making the "idiot mark" on the frame.

I'm not saying that I know first hand that this is a good idea. I'm not NOT saying that I know first hand either....

Here is, in my opinion, one of the best YouTube video on disassembly on the Series 80 1911s.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.
