I wouldn't allow my friends to run some cheap, Russian steel cased garbage through it (I'm looking at you, Tulammo). And only I will provide the ammo for it, and it must be American made brass ammo from Winchester or American Eagle.

Colt 1911 Style Slide Stop Remington Rand 1911a1 WW2 Vintage Ithaca Used Good. It smelled like an old library book and was starting to rust a bit so I knew it had to be lubricated. I did clean it and lubricate it with Hoppe's as soon as I got it. Ultimately, it's their property (presumably!) and they can do what they want with it. I personally never mod any of my guns, I just like to keep things simple but if others want to do it, that's fine but I only ask that they do it on a newer gun. and I can't help but get upset because they're degrading a wonderful, storied collector-grade piece by putting stupid Chinese made, "tacticool" crap on it. I've read stories wherein vintage USGI 1911 owners get them refinished, change parts, etc. I can assure you I won't change anything on it. It's too bad the guys didn't have that luxury ~75 years ago. Thanks to the internet, I was able to research and prevent myself from further scratching it before reassembling it (admittedly, I almost did the first time). I'd also hazard a guess this pistol was handed to a few different soldiers since the slide stop scratch is present. But I had to ask since my curiosity was gnawing at me.

Thanks for the response, I'm glad to have those more knowledgeable than I am assure me that it's likely truly correct.
