Just a passing thought and I'm not an expert on 1911s by any means . . . I read this thread and am curious . . . .
If a person wanted to shoot it (the 1911 the OP is referring to) but was worried about such things as the barrel, etc. . . . since parts are interchangeable . . . could you not purchase a newer barrel, etc. - switch them out for shooting and preserve the original parts? Or is that a problem on a 1911 as opposed to say a 1911A1?
