Description
Anyone who has field-stripped a 1911 on the kitchen table knows how fast small parts wander and how quick oil finds bare wood. The TekMat Ultra 15×20 1911 Pistol Cleaning Mat gives you a dedicated spot to spread everything out. The soft top surface won't scratch your finish, and it resists oil, solvents, and water so spills stay on the mat instead of soaking into your bench or dinner table. At 15 by 20 inches, there's room for a fully disassembled pistol plus your punches, brushes, and cleaning rod without stacking parts on top of each other.
What Sets the Ultra 1911 Mat Apart
This is the Ultra line, which means it steps up from the standard TekMat with a thicker quarter-inch build and a stitched edge around the perimeter. That extra padding gives small parts and pins something soft to land on and takes the sting out of a dropped slide. The stitched border keeps the edges from fraying or curling over time, so the mat lays flat every time you unroll it, even after months stored away.
The Printed 1911 Diagram Actually Earns Its Keep
The graphic isn't just decoration. It's a detailed exploded view of the 1911 platform with a full parts layout, printed using a heat-transfer dye-sublimation process that soaks the ink into the fibers rather than sitting on top. That means it won't scratch off or fade with repeated cleanings and solvent exposure. Whether you're new to the platform or just want a quick reference while swapping a part, having the schematic right under your work is a nice touch.
Keeping the TekMat 1911 Mat in Shape
Cleanup is simple. Wipe it down after a messy session, and it rolls up for easy storage alongside the rest of your cleaning gear. It's a low-fuss piece of bench equipment that earns a permanent home for any 1911 owner who does their own maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TekMat 1911 mat fit a full-size 1911 disassembled?
Yes. The 15 by 20 inch surface is sized to hold a fully field-stripped full-size 1911 with room left over for tools, brushes, punches, and small parts. You won't have to stack pieces or shuffle things around while you work.
Is the printed diagram going to wear off from solvents and cleaning oil?
It holds up well. TekMat uses a heat-transfer dye-sublimation process that pushes the ink down into the fibers instead of just printing on the surface. That makes the graphic resistant to fading, scratching, and the oils and solvents you use during a cleaning session.
How thick is the padding on this Ultra mat?
This is the Ultra line, so it runs a quarter inch thick, which is thicker than the standard TekMat. That extra cushion protects your parts if you drop something and keeps hard pins and springs from bouncing across your bench.
Can I roll it up for storage and will it lay flat again?
It rolls up easily for storage alongside your other cleaning gear. The stitched edge helps the mat resist curling and fraying, so it lays back down flat when you unroll it, even after long stretches in storage.
