So quick question or two for those experienced and knowledgeable 1911 users.
I have read that a quality 1911(colt for example) built right rarely breaks parts when correct maintenance and care is taken. Usually it comes to spring issues or things of that nature.
Are the technicalities of maintaining or fitting minor parts made out to be more difficult then it really is? Basically being your own armorer that I have heard people say in case something happens or breaks?
I am not talking about full builds from the ground up or anything.
Is there good and reputable resources about being your own armorer?
I know the Kuhnhausen book is often referred too. I also saw one by Patrick Sweeney about the care of 1911s.
Just doing some research.
