Tactical 1911 : The Street Cop's And SWAT Operator's Guide To Employment And Maintenance

Rating:
Summary: excellent- absolutely recommended
Review: i cannot reccomend this book enough, i have been shooting for almost 16 years, been a police officer for almost 5, consider myself pretty knowledgble about firearms. this book answered questions i didnt even know i had, or ideas as to why/why not on the 1911. dave lauck is also an excellent craftsman, a real gentleman with whom to deal, takes great pride in his work, and if you have ever read any reviews on any of his work in the gun mags, all come back 'superior'. also to his credit, there is not a sentence of pitching his work, it speaks for itself and his reputation is known among operators as an excellent craftsman

Summary: A Must-have for the to-be 1911 owner
Review: I found the information shared extremely helpfull. Where was this book when I bought my first 1911? Had I access to this level of in-depth explaining and discussion of the options available I would have made some different decisions. The author obviously knows his stuff and speaks from first-hand experience. The only criticism I have is that the author only refers to work performed by US gunsmiths. It would have been great if the appendix could also have referenced some reputable smiths in other countries. I know this is probably unlikely to happen due to the logistics involved...

Summary: Excellent
Review: If you own or like 1911's you should buy this book and the Gun Digest book of the 1911.

Summary: Tells you junk you already know.
Review: This book isn't worth it. It tells you lots of nonsense about how to customize your 1911, but not much how to deploy it in a "tactical" sense. Lauck pushes expensive customization of Colt 1911's but doesn't even touch the newer (and much better) clones. (Kimber, Springfield, etc.).

Summary: Its a waste of money!
Review: To tell you the truth, I did'nt enjoy reading this book. If you really want to learn more about 1911's, go to the nearest gunsmith.
