There is no such thing as excessive lube on a 1911. If globs of oil fly everywhere each time the slide cycles, that's okay.

Put it in the disconnector launch, locking lug recesses, on the slide and frame rails, all over the barrel and bushing, all up in the hammer.

Some use grease, some use oil. I use slip 2000 EWL.

If you think it's excessive, it's probably not enough. Older 1911s will run on the dry side, you will get malfunctions with newer ones if they're not wet *(although it depends on the fit of the particular gun).

...also if you have a "match grade" barrel, your feed ramp and chamber fit may be a bit tight and you may get FTFs for a few hundred rounds.

And "completely" disassembling a 1911 is doable but if you're a novice can be very frustrating. I'd read up on all the parts and how they fit together, and how everything is supposed to work when you're done (function test). The first time I took a 1911 apart, it didn't come back together as I thought it would.
