Thank you! I'm not so interested in minute specs and details, but would simply like to know if the gun's internal parts are of the same design as John Browning's?
The finish doesn't really concern me, and I already learned I need to replace the plastic grips with ones made of wood. I have no intention of souping up the gun as others have. Replacing the grips will be the extent of my upgrading.
Can you recommend a good book or two on the operation and repair of 1911s?
Thank you!
