The Real Avid Revo AV1911SM is a 1911 cleaning mat purpose-built for shooters who want a dedicated workspace for field-stripping and maintaining their pistol. Unlike generic gun mats, this mat combines a properly sized cleaning surface with built-in guidance and clever organization—everything you need to field-strip, clean, and reassemble your 1911 without losing small parts or turning your workbench into an oil-stained mess.

The mat's layout is printed with step-by-step instructions so you can follow proper 1911 disassembly technique right on the work surface. The oil-resistant top layer protects your furniture and countertops from solvents, lubricants, and CLP, while the no-slip backing keeps the mat anchored in place during the work. The integrated parts tray is the real standout—pins, springs, and small components have their own dedicated spot, eliminating the scramble to find a lost spring or detent ball under the couch.

Whether you're a competition shooter running regular maintenance, a hunter preparing for the season, or a home gunsmith who values organization, this mat turns 1911 cleaning from a frustrating kitchen-table operation into something methodical and contained. It's sized to handle a fully field-stripped gun, so you've got room to work without constantly shuffling parts. Real Avid has thought through the small annoyances that come with pistol maintenance—this mat addresses them directly.
