I sure hope that you are not advocating lubrication without disassembly. The 1911 is one of the easiest automatics there is to field strip. When in the Army I did it successfully while blindfolded.

I am a HUGE fan of the .45. I've shot untold thousands of rounds through them and have four of them and yes it is as durable as shown in the video.

In addition to being a good club, if you were to sneak up behind someone in the dark you could kill them without firing a shot. The noise of hearing a round racked into place would probably cause cardiac arrest in most.
