I thought the same thing at first but now can have the gun apart in a matter of minutes. Just be patient and you will figure it out..I watched a few Youtube videos on it and asked many questions on the forum....

As Jeff said, it takes patience and practice. Hang in there, you'll get it!

That better have come with a lap dance. I just used the little "L" shaped tool and in a few minutes it's apart. I even taught my gf how to use it. What did you find/buy??

 

[JMalmy]

1911ultratool.com I didnt have the little L tool and from what I read it says that this is supposed to be better. IDK lol maybe i made a mistake...

I'll give you $500.00 to save you some aggravation.

Did you check your manual? I have a dozen of the L tools I still like the Ultra tool.
The L tool does not line the slide up with the slide lock notch like the ultra tool, that line up makes all the difference in the world.

 

[JMalmy]

From the video, I dont believe I made a mistake tho

No you did fine. I read the post that Josey sent to you after I sent mine and that's a great tool to use. That will make life so much better..

HAHA Id need a little more then 500 lol and I have a Highnoon holster on the way so a $30 tool is a better choice for me

I kno this is off the topic of field stripping tools, BUT what do yall use to clean and lube your Kimbers?

 

[Insta-Gator]

Hoppes #9

Everyone's favorite cologne .

Finish off with a few drops of a high quality oil.

Gun Scrubber to wash it down and the nectar of the Gods {HOPPES#9} to finish the job.I just use Remington REM oil to gently lube it afterwards. That's what I do but others will have their own remedy also..

 

[JMalmy]

HAHA thanks guys

 

[Insta-Gator]

Picked up some Safariland Break Free CLP (Clean, Lubricate, Preserve) to day. Used on the Ruger Mark II. OMG, what an oily mess. I guess if you had a gun that was seriously gunked up it would loosen it up and allow you to brush it out, but geeze.

I'm not sure I'm gonna continue using that stuff.

I basically do the same.

I've probably tried every new cleaner to come down the road since the late 50's and always go back to Hoppe's #9 and a light oil. Lately I've been using Brian Enos Slide Glide on one of my Kimbers rails and liking it enough that today after I cleaned the Sig P238 I used some on it. We'll see how that works out next week when I go to the range.

I use the NDZ Performance takedown tool and idiot scratch tool, I use a "guitar pick".
