Hello again. Simple question for the 1911-heads out there. I am preparing to send my slide off to be re-blued. This could take up to two weeks or so until I see my slide again. My frame will just sit for this duration. The longest my 1911s have ever sat disassembled before has been a day or so at most, before reassembly. Since my frame will be sitting for two weeks or so, should I or should I not lower the hammer to let the spring rest? To make it clear, there will be no upper on the frame, for the two weeks it will sit. I've always just left the hammer cocked during cleaning in the past, but I'm asking since it will be sitting longer. Feedback and all input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
