Only 54 parts in a 1911, but who's counting?
I agree with the gist of the rest of your post, however.

I'm attaching a video from Apex Tactical...it's useful to show you how to properly disassemble and reassemble your pistol.
The EJECTOR is not located on the slide...it is on the frame. The EXTRACTOR is located on the slide. It's easy to confuse the two similar-sounding terms, but they are very different parts, although they do work in concert to extract and eject the spent shell casing (hence their names.)

i over exaggerated a bit. still 12 is alot less than 54
Well, now...this could be opening a can of worms, not to mention a thread hi-jack.
It depends...should we count only "moving" parts? Do grips and grip screws count? Pins? Springs? Some 1911-style pistols have more parts than others...like, some have firing pin safeties, and some don't. Some even have a two-part guide rod, so is that one part or two? Is the magazine counted? What about the parts inside the magazine?
Obviously this post is facetious and intend to bring a little humor to this thread.

not bashing. just being realistic.
sometimes it hurts.
not knowing what a firing pin safety plunger is or the difference between an ejector and an extractor tells me that he shouldnt be in there screwing with it.
a basic understanding of parts and the relationship between them should be an absolute minimum before beginning any gunsmith project.

I understand what the part is I can deduce what it does without looking up the exact name of it. Its not like this gun is wicked hard to put together. I'm on this forum for knowledge. And I don't try to reload "fast" but I fear my wife may have been a little over zealous when reloading which would explain why I'll shoot a couple batches no problem and then have 5 or 6 light strikes in one box. Obviously there is something different about some boxes. I have everything set up pretty automated and with the powder I use if you double charge it will overflow. There isn't many options for mistakes. Except obviously primer depth. Thank you guys for your help and corrections I will let you know how it goes with some factory

we will await any info you have for us playa playa from the hymalaya's
lol
the first time i tore my glock apart. i didnt knwo what anything was. just followed a video. now some 10+ years later it still functions as it did when i first got it and i didnt destroy it by not knowing what i was doing.... so yeah.... maybe some of us have more common sense than others. or ar confident in our ability to follow instructions step by step that we dont need to learn every little detail of a gun before working on it.
