My Father in Law has an old Colt military issue 1911 that has been around for many years. It looks like it has been through the wars, and it likely has. He sprays it down with WD 40 from time to time. I have offered to take it down and clean it properly or have it professionally done, but he says that is not necessary. Over several years and hundreds of rounds, I have never seen this gun fail with either hardball or HP ammo. If I had to pick a pistol to drag through the mud, snow, etc. with no service, this would be it.
