Just joined and I am impressed with the amount of knowledge here. I grew up on the 1911 platform since my Marine Corps days starting in 1972. I have always shot them well. I went to the dark side for a while (Glocks), but have come back home. At present, I have only a Kimber Ultra CDPII (which has been dead-nuts reliable in the 10 years I've had it, except for when using McCormick mags, which are designated range only), and I just aquired a Kimber Micro 9 (yeah, I know it's not a true 1911) to go with my pocket gun, a Kimber Micro .380.
I am on the hunt for a 3-3/5" 9mm at this time (I just like the smaller guns). I am also thinking of buying an inexpensive 1911 to do my own customizing on, figuring if I F it up too badly, I haven't lost that much.
With that in mind, anyone got any input on a good book to buy to start to learn the ins and outs of taking a base gun and making it better? I'm sure there will a LOT of other questions if I decide to do it.
