Bruce, thanks - that exploded diagram is just what I need to put it back together.

I see your point about disposable weapons for car use - odds are, if you ever have to use it, you may lose it.

I'm really not looking for something I feel guilty shooting, so depending on what I find out, I might just sell the 1911. It's already consumed more of my time than I can justify for any pistol. It sure does feel good, though. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
