What, was he showing off or something? Anyone who owns a 1911 should know how to field strip it (I've done it blind-folded before). Anyway, anyone ever time tested their 1911 field stripping time?
I get around ~30 seconds apart and back together. It takes longer when I have the comp. on it because I have to push a pencil through the plug spot to depress the sping cover, so that takes extra time. I only field strip when I have the normal bushing attached.
Stripping a Glock 17 1st Gen was easiest though, took me ~20 seconds. No major components to line up and precisely plug. That was the first thing that drew my interest to the Glock, how easy they are to field-strip and clean.
