    Gun cylinder pressure release??

    I apologize for the rookie questions but are you supposed to unscrew the cylinder from the gun to relieve the pressure when it’s not in regular use?? And if so what’s considered regular use ? Thanks

    Newbie checking in here

    Hello all, I retired to Florida a few years back and to survive the summer I gave up tennis for shooting. I’d never had a handgun but quickly came to appreciate the 1911 platform. So now with a safe full of 1911’s I’ve decided to get into something I can enjoy at home in the yard. Yesterday I...
