Finally got my 1911 to jam last night.

[Deplorable Me]

Haven't cleaned it since last October. A drop of Rem Oil on the slide every range trip. LRN 230 gr and LSWC 200gr; Unique. Smoky stuff.

After about 500 rounds, finally starting to short cycle, FTE and stove pipes last night. Lots.

Took it apart last night, grungy feed ramp, grungy slide, grungy chamber, grungy extractor. Carbon and oil like molasses. I'm generally very specific with my lube points too.

Springfield, loaded target model.

Soaking for the cleaning. I'm going to detail clean and see how long it takes to repeat the problem. I generally clean after 100 rounds at the range, zero failures during those trips,

I used to use an aerosol can of 1-1-1 and occasionally hose my Gold Cup down. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning. I can't find that stuff anymore. Tree huggers made it all illegal and shit.

Thank you. They look nice. My LGS speaks highly of your choices.

Absolutely thrilled with the performance of my 3 Springfield 1911s. Yup 3.

I have not kept track but at about 500 rounds my 1911 starts getting funny. I will get failure to go into battery only when chambering the first round, that is when it will get cleaned.

Ditch the remoil and switch to Mobil 1. Next time I bet you go 1000 rounds.

Ha ha ha. Most start to short stroke after 500 rounds of lead. One reason i switched awat from 1911 after 20 years.

I just got tired of cleaning it......sometimes halfway through a match!

I have a quart staring at me on my reloading bench.

I keep hearing that for years now, you'd think I'd remember to pick up some and give it a try but noooo. I hate getting old!
