Also, the instruct who has a wilson 1911 did a demo that i almost started clapping and yelling amen. It went as follows:

Ken (instructor): "whats this" (hold 1911 by the end of the slide in the air, looks like a hatchet)
Me and a couple others: "a tool"
Ken: "exactly, some of you are scared to get dirty, if thats the case put you gun in the safe and LEAVE IT THERE".
Me in my head "amen brother"
Ken: "this is a tool, get it dirty" *turns around and throws it like a baseball at the dirt and rock backstop about 25 feet away, it sinks into the soft soil. he walks over picks it up and*
Ken" get it dirty, beat the hell outa it, it should still RUN" * he then throws it on the ground one last time, chambers a round and fires a magazine through it.*

thought that was good stuff.
