John Moses Browning...

If you are the proud owner of a new 1911a1 series .45acp, I'd suggest a few of these items....

www.Brownells.com www.weaponshield.com www.natchezss.com www.gunzilla.us www.eezox.com www.mpro7.com (LPX) www.midwayusa.com www.cabelas.com www.galls.com

Many shooters & gun owners use; Hoppes #9 bore cleaner, Viper bore-snakes(for barrel cleaning), Birchwood-Casey Synthetic Gun Cleaner, Ballistol, GI(OD) tooth brushes, clean, lint free patches or cloth, a 1911 tool(for minor repairs, service, etc).
A decent synthetic CLP(clean-lube-protect) product like Gunzilla, Weaponshield or LPX can aid you in general cleaning/storage.
I've used Ballistol often since the mid 1990s. It's great for rubber, plastic, wood, metal. It's also non-toxic/CFC free.
If you are new to firearms or shooting sports, I'd get a print copy of Brownells product catalog. They also have a detailed 1911 pistol parts-product catalog too.
NOTE: do not over-clean or use a lot of CLP/oil on your semi-auto pistol. This may cause problems or jams later on. A small amount or light spray will do the job. Excessive oils/cleaning products and improper methods are some of the most common errors professional gunsmiths or LE armorers see in factory training classes or career development programs.

Always check your pistol BEFORE you load or carry it for protection too. Dirt, crud or a broken part isnt something you should find in a critical incident.
