The "Gun Digest Book of the 1911" by Patrick Sweeney is must reading for any fan of 1911 model pistol. Sweeney's style is enjoyably readable, and the information provided is both informative and entertaining.

The book was bought as a gift for my brother. He likes it and we were very pleased with speed of delivery and service.

Read more than the table of contents! Some people have obviously rated this book without reading it. The Author explains why some guns are included in the test and others are left out (in 2 Places in the book). The author also talks about and praises his personal "Colt" 1911's. So you Rampant Pony fans should not feel left out. This book is obviously not ground breaking as there have been many books about the 1911, but it is very informative (gunsmithing, tactical course, competitions, & reloading). It provides an indepth comparison of the wide variety of the modern makes of the 1911.

Buy this to learn more about your 1911 pistol. I really followed some things written here and presto!, My gun worked better. (with the help of my gunsmith)Knowing your pistol can save your life and money. And knowing your pistol means that it is safer to handle and carry.
