I bought a new 1991A1 today. Overall, I like it, but I do have two question/comments.
1. Is it just me or are these 1991A1s hard to disassemble? Maybe it is just me being spoiled from my Sig 229 and Beretta 92FS, but damn, it took me quite a while to figure out all the steps to take down my 1991A1 and put it back together.
2. I put some Hoppes lubricant (orange bottle) on the slide rails and my gun is still rubbing like sandpaper when I pull the slide back and release it. Very very rough. Is this normal? As a comparison, my new 92FS is much smoother, with my Sig 229 (200-300 rounds through it so far) being smooth as glass....
Overall this Colt 45 looks and feels like a very cool gun. I am very anxious to shoot it as I have never shot a 45. I only have experience with 22, 9mm, 38special, and 40s&w.....
Thanks
