Yeah, I pamper my SA 1911 milspec. Treat her like she's made of crystal. She sleeps in a pillowed case. I spend more time bathing her than I spend bathing myself. This will help you understand why I cringed when I handed her over to my uncle. (Name withheld in case he has an account here)
Uncle has a mid 80's Colt 1911 in the green parkerized finish (looks almost identical to the new SA GI edition, sans "GI" grips), and upon finding out he's a 1911 nut I clear mine and offer it to him for inspection. He does some fiddling, locks the slide back, wiggles the barrel, and hits the slide release, letting the slide slam forward. I wince, but I don't say anything, mainly because Uncle is a Navy CB and Nam vet, that and he was once issued a 1911, I figured he's earned the right to rough my baby up a little. Well, he does it again, and I winced again. Then I realized that JMB would turn over in his grave if he found out that a 1911 owner was concerned about an occasional roughing up of such a sturdy piece of hardware. So I relaxed, and on the way home stopped by the shop to buy her a present.
