[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3074552, member: 91783"] I found one in good condition used for 37.00 delivered to my door, the pages are all good just the outside shows some wear. Having put good quality parts in the 1911 I decided to look at the less expensive ones and play with them. I set them up and marked the areas where they meet each other, with my sharpie, then got one of my good quality ceramic stones out and polished those areas. I was completely amazed at how not flat and rough they were in those areas. Not being as hard as I thought they would be, I can see where they wouldn't last a lifetime of use other than for an occasional shooter. After polishing them I put them back in the frame just to check them out and how they functioned and was impressed with it. The learning has continued I have found some ways to make assembly and disassembly easier and better. Some of the functions can be checked without completely assembling the grip safety. Putting the thumb safety on makes it easier to remove the recoil spring end cap. Putting the sear spring in and sliding the main spring housing in part way to hold it in place on the sear and disconnector helps with the rest of the assembly. So many of the things that are part of the other crafts and trades apply, especially pride in craftsmanship. This all applies to the art and craft of predator control especially the pride in craftsmanship part, I don't know how many times I have been told that's just being too nit-picky it doesn't matter that much, probably not till you have to kill one that is well trained because the other person didn't think it mattered to be picky. But then that's just me and why I keep visiting with others to see how they do things. [/QUOTE]
