Notice on a lot of the used 45's the mark where people have scratched the frame trying to put the slide release in. How bout you, ever done this? I'll be honest, I did it on the first one I ever owned.

"idiot mark"....is the correct term for it......it's done from not knowin' the correct way to field strip one.....9 times out of 10 they try to pull the slide stop without removin' the recoil spring plug first...
Every 1911 I've ever owned has an idiot mark, but I never did it stripping the gun. I always did it during reassembly... I just must be a bigger idiot than most.
