1911 books/info

[GreenDragon]

The title pretty much asys it all. I'd like to find a good book about the 1911. Gunsmithing, accurizing, upgrading, repair etc.
thanks

There are both books and videos available on gunsmithing the 1911 type. There are other books by the ton. For what you want, Jerry Kuhnhausen's 2 volumes on the .45 auto should be a great place to start. See www.gunbooks.com or write Heritage Gun Books, VSP Publications, P.O. Drawer 887, McCall Idaho, 83638 1-888-634-4104. Cost is about $55 for both, plus S&H.

GreenDragon, there are a couple that I'll add to what Jim said. Hallocks .45 Auto Handbook and Pistolsmithing by George C. Nonte. Both are very good and available from Brownells. www.brownells.com. George

I would recomend The Tactical 1911 by Dave Lauck at http://www.dlsports.com/ The book covers everything from pistol selection to building a custom .45. I got the book and as you can tell love it. Nope I do not have a 1911 yet, but I know what I do want after reading this book.

Until your new books show up, here are a couple of web sites that might help.
