Introdução
The 1911 Pistol, unquestionably the greatest sidearm ever made. Name anything else that was created 102 years ago that the design still works today! (The name refers to the year 1911, when it was adopted by the US military, one year after the prototype 1910).

This is your classic 1911A1 style sidearm. I will be using my 1911R1 Pearl Harbor commemorative made by Remington. Check the slide to verify your model.

Next we will remove the firing pin and extractor from the slide.
-
This is the pin block for the firing pin. Note, this block (and 2 other parts in the receiver are only on series 80 style 1911s, not series 70)
-
Using one brass punch, press down on the firing pin block and with the other punch, press in on the firing pin.

Remove the firing pin block. You can just shake it out, or if its kinda stuck from carbon, big tweezers help.
-
This is the extractor. It pulls out your spent cases (and tosses them in your buddy's face if they stand too close when shooting lol)
-
If the weapon is fairly new, or gummed up, use a punce to coax it out by tapping it to the rear. Otherwise, you may be able to just push it out with your finger.

-
Using a brass punch, slowly knock out the main housing spring pin.
-
Remove the main housing to reveil the Sear/Trigger/Grip Safety spring (This is a flat leaf spring so no worries about parts flying everywhere). It will just fall out or shake it out (tweezers not needed, just used to show spring placment).
-
-
-
Pull the hammer back. Now pull the thumb safety out of the frame.
-
You'll need to wiggle it between safe and fire to release it from the hammer spur. The hammer must be pulled back to get this part out.
-
See above
-
Once the thumb safety is removed, the grip safety will come out easily.
-
These 2 pins can be removed with finger pressure. The bigger one is for the trigger, and we'll take that out first.
-
-
-
Now we come to the trigger control group. Now these are easy to take out, but an absolute pain to put back in on series 80 styles (70 styles not so hard since there is no safety actuator).
-
Pull out smaller pin, then just shake the little parts out. You can also take them out 1 at a time to see how they go back in (tweezers help).
-
Safety actuator (on series 80 styles only)
-
Disconnector (disconnects sear from hammer, allowing it to fall onto the firing pin)
-
Sear (holds hammer in place (cocked) until trigger is pulled)

I removed the mainspring housing (Colt 191a1) and accidently left the hammer cocked after clearing the weapon. I am able to reassemble with the new arched mainspring housing, under some pressure, and replace the bottom pin, but the hammer will not fall when I pull the trigger. What did I do wrong?
You should have dry fired the weapon after clearing it to double check and to uncock the firearm.
