The Custom 1911 by Bill Loeb (Hardcover, 2015)

About this product

Product Information

The 1911 is ambiguous as it is classic. The gun's mission changed over the years. Originally a military sidearm, the 1911 is now a favourite among law enforcement special operation units, military and competitors, as well as those interested in self-defence. While the basic design has changed very little, some brilliant people have advanced John Browning's classic and brought it into a new century. This book offers some amazing behind-the-scenes insight about the makers of Nighthawk, Kimber, Wilson Combat, to name a few. Great shooters like Julie Golob, Bruce Piatt and Chip McCormick shared their personal stories. Ted Nugent and Razor Dobbs also make appearances as 1911 hunters. These 1911 stars also shared their practical advice which Bill shares with the reader.Bill Loeb's writing style is concise yet sometimes irreverent, but always fresh and entertaining.|More than a century after its introduction, the elegant simplicity of the 1911 is more appealing than ever. John Moses Browning's invention is prized by elite military teams, specialized law enforcement units and professional competitors, as well as the general shooting public. Produced by more companies that any other gun in history, the options are staggering.......This book is the only book available that covers the current state of the 1911 with the sea of options that are currently available. The reader will learn a bit of the history of the 1911 platform as well as gain a general understanding of the differences between the profusion of custom shops. In addition, each aspect of the customisation and development of the 1911 will be explored. Having read the book the reader will be able to speak intelligently on the subject of the 1911, ask the right questions when purchasing and make an informed, intelligent decision....... Genius loves company. Browning created an amazing handgun and some brilliant craftsmen took that design and improved it to a level that would surprise even John Moses himself. For readers who want to learn about the people producing custom 1911s as well as the guns themselves, this is THE book.| Originally a military sidearm, the 1911 is now a favourite among law enforcement special operation units, military and competitors, as well as those interested in self-defence....While the basic design has changed very little, some brilliant people have advanced John Browning's classic and brought it into a new century.
