Just getting my feet wet with the aspects of the 1911 world, and as in anything, there is no lack of self-declared experts on boobtube or things like it (not that there aren't qualified experts, but one has to mine for the gems).
As I prefer having a book in my hand, so I've been looking at books about the 1911.
So far I've purchased Walt Kuleck's first book of the series, The M1911 Complete Owner's Guide. It seems pretty good so far, and exhaustive in it's scope, as well as comprehensive in it's topics. I've seen the Patrick Sweeney books, and I have a few general pistol/revolver smithing books by him, but I'm not sold on his 1911 books yet. Anyone recommend them?
Otherwise, there are lists and lists of books, but I'd love to hear what experienced folks recommend for getting an in depth understanding of all aspects of the 1911, starting from the day John Moses was born, if possible.
Thanks,
