Just looking for some suggestions on 1911 based books. History, modifications, building from scratch, etc are all possibles. I know this site is a great source of info, but some ink and paper is a welcome substitute of sorts.
Thanks!

Clawson and Kuhnhausen books are a great place to start.

On a personal note, I just reached post #1911! Woo hoo!
"The 1911 was the design, given by God to us through John M. Browning, that represents the epitome of what a killing tool needs to be. It was true in 1911 and it's true now." - Col. Robert Coates commanding, U.S. Marine Corp Special Operations Command Detachment 1 (DET 1)

Thanks for the kudos. Looks like I got upgraded to mentor too. That has to be a first for me.
??And how did you like our little surprise?
Still looking for it. I had heard there was one, but I haven't seen a PM, popup, or anything.

You should have received a telephone call to schedule an appointment for your official m1911.org branding. There must have been some glitch. I'll check with the Forum wrangler to see what happened and see if we can get this expedited. We may not yet have received the new branding iron we ordered....Still looking for it. ...
