TekMat 1911 Cutaway Pistol Cleaning Mat – Black (11″ x 17″) with TekTowel

Description

The TekMat 1911 Cutaway Pistol Cleaning Mat is a firearm-specific bench mat designed to support cleaning, maintenance, and detailed familiarization of 1911-style pistols. Featuring a 3D cutaway illustration, this mat provides a visual representation of internal components and their relationship inside the pistol—making it especially useful for understanding function, diagnosing issues, and performing proper reassembly.

Sized at 11″ x 17″, the mat offers ample space for field stripping and organizing components while remaining compact enough for most benches and portable cleaning setups. The soft fabric surface protects firearm finishes, while the non-slip rubber backing keeps the mat securely in place during use.

This version includes a small microfiber TekTowel, ideal for wiping down parts, tools, or excess solvent during maintenance. The mat rolls up neatly and ships in a protective tube for convenient storage and transport.

Why a Cutaway Mat Is Different

Unlike standard exploded diagrams, a cutaway illustration shows how parts interact internally. This makes the mat particularly valuable for:

• Learning the 1911 operating system

• Visualizing trigger, sear, and hammer relationships

• Diagnosing function or timing issues

• Reducing errors during reassembly

It’s a practical learning and maintenance tool for both new and experienced 1911 owners.
