[QUOTE="Hooper, post: 4315225, member: 46111"] I would suggest a 1911 manual. Look on Midway USA for, Kuhnhausen Books & Videos Tweaking anything on a 1911 can open up a can of worms and if you do not have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of 1911's, you will become very frustrated trying to get it back to where you started. An unreliable 1911 can be very dangerous to carry and shoot. They are not super complicated, you can learn to do it yourself. Dollars for tools and finding quality tools is what is the hardest part (DOLLARS the limiting factor). I watched 1000's of YouTube videos and there is mostly bad advice on them, sorry to say. This is my opinion. A few good ones. Gun Blue is not an authority, he is stuck in his own little I know everything world. Not willing to learn. there is a ton of 1911 knowledge out there and he refuses to update his data bank. I'm sure he is a great Gentleman, just hard headed. 1911 Addicts, forum, is a good site for finding gunsmith knowledge and info on where to get things. IF something fishy is posted it will be exposed with a vengeance. [B]Steve in Allentown, Pa.[/B] on any 1911 Gunsite forum is a wealth of information. He shares information willingly and he is on every reputable Gun forum. He gives very detailed info with detailed drawings. The above information is my own opinion and what I have learned over time. So take it with a grain of salt. You are welcome to call me out if I am wrong. It might hurt my ego, but it might save my life, guns are dangerous when mishandled, and you do not get second chances with them. Please do not tweak on your pistol unless you have prior knowledge that your tweak is a time proven method. [/QUOTE]
