    My god Alex. As one that grew up with them and had them in my arms room I did have a couple of Docs that almost got hit but never seen that one.

    If you ever decide to buy A fal and think "oh, I will just undo this screw in the buttstock" please call me before half your head is taken off.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Never seen one get hit directly but have seen some pic's back in the day with the grease marks from the spring implanted in a few peoples forehead.

    The extractor could put a persons eye out but they normally just go MIA to the clueless.

    In order to disassemble a 1911, you have to take the recoil spring out from the front of the dust cover. You essentially rotate a retaining ring on the front of the dust cover, and if you aren't ready for it, the spring shoots out, along with the metal retainer on the end of it. It's been a while since I've done it, but that is essentially how I remember it.

    Part #24 is under pressure from part #25 and is held in place by part #2.
    To disassemble, remove part #2 while maintaining pressure on part #24.
    He forgot that last bit.

    I don't know the technical names for the parts, but there's a doodad that holds the thingee on the end of the spring. When you rotate the doodad, you have to maintain compression on the thingee at the end of the spring and let it up slowly. If you don't, then the spring projects the thingee. And if you're looking down the barrel, then the thingee hits you in the face.

    I always get a bit of a pucker when I do struts.
