Thank you, I'm glad I asked. To the point of getting the right tools, how do I determine what's, what? Any brands you recommend as good to go?

Snap-on. If your mechanically inclined the internals are very basic, robust and easy to understand. I'd rather rebuild 1911's all day if I could.

I agree...snap on and craftsman are what I use for home tools...HOWEVER get a screwdrivers for gunsmithing, there is a differnce between common screw drivers and gunsmithing ones...you may not know the differnce but they make a difference when using them!!!

If I may, I would suggest you go online and download/print a copy of FM 25-35. This is the Army Field Manual for the 1911/1911A1. The download is free and it's everything you want as far as parts, theory of operation, etc.

I've been working and messing with 1911s for over thirty years and still have a copy on my Bench.

This is a GREAT thread for a newbie - to 1911's in general and to this forum in particular - like me.

This one thread is worth the price of admission!
