Yesterday I decided to completely dissemble my 1911 and put it back together. After all, I have Youtube videos showing how to do it. Well, I found out they come apart much easier than they go back together. After reassembling it several times, picking up several parts off the floor, especially small pins and springs, I did manage to reassemble it. Actually, the last time I put it together I noticed that the sear pin and hammer pin had to enter the frame from the left side. Also, if the sear pin falls out, you pretty much have to completely take it apart and put it back together from the beginning.
One good thing, the last time it only took five or six minutes to do the job. Nothing like repeated practice to hone one's skills. And, now I can do the job without making the hundreds of mistakes I did at first.
I believe I will pass on disassembling my Rugers, at least for the time being.
