What a great chunk of information!
I'd agree that the military tends to beat the crap out of their weapons through overcleaning, bolt slamming, lack of lubrication, etc. These are bad habits.
Personally, I'm less worried about something stupid that gun show morons do a few times over a weekend because they don't know better than something stupid that I do a thousand times over a decade because I got taught that it was the "right" way.
most military 1911s are just plain wore out.
