Buddy Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 One of my personal carry guns is a Kimber 1911. I hear that a lot of the aftermarket parts are garbage or not needed. Anyone know of a book where they teach alot about 1911's specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hi Buddy and welcome to the forums! A great place to start is Patrick Sweeney's book "The Gun Digest Book of The 1911". ISBN 0-87349-281-1 Dave Lauck's Book "The Tactical 1911" is also a good resource. ISBN 0-87364-985-0 And then there is Layne Simpson's book "The Custom Government Model Pistol - Revised Edition" ISBN 1-879356-57-0 Hope that helps!

froglegs Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The gun digest book of the 1911 ISBN 0-87349-281-1 $27.95 lots of good info maybe not complete but worth the money for 1911 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I would like to add Jerry Kuhnhausen's "The Colt .45 Automatic A Shop Manual" and "The U.S. M1911/A1 Pistols & Commercial M1911 type pistols A Shop Manual" Vol 2. These cover every measurement and adjustment for a single stack 1911. I don't know of a DVD but Jerry does have a video of common mods. TryLenny Macgill he now has DVD's about everything.

tyro Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I think the A.G.I. video/cd are worth taking a look at if you would rather video over a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

short_round Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I think the A.G.I. video/cd are worth taking a look at if you would rather video over a book. Another vote for this series ... Vol 1, Vol 2, Vol 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
