Let me start out by saying that this forum is one of the better gun forum I've read. I've been lurking for a couple of days just soaking up the vast amount of info and have allready learned much. Thank you for that.
Now my question. My wonderfull son is buying me a new PT-111 Mil-Pro for my birthday. While this is not my first handgun it is my first "new" handgun. I've looked over the FAQ's about cleaning and am wondering if it is advisable or not to completely breakdown the gun to clean the factory oiling from all the parts or if a field strip would be enough?
2. In reading other posts it seems that the biggest problems with this gun are related to the spring popping out the front of the slide. How could I tell if this gun has the modified spring assembly?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
