If you saw the June issue of American Rifleman Magazine, you probably noticed that the lead feature story was excerpted from The M1911 Complete Owner's Guide. There was also a sidebar to the story that very favorably reviewed the Owner's Guide. To commemorate the centennial of the Model 1911 pistol, we have created a M1911 Pistol Bookshelf featuring six books and one CD ROM, including the newly released title from Scott A. Duff Publications written by Walt Kuleck:
NEW!! The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide - The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide is a companion volume to the author's The M1911 Complete Owner's Guide. Lavishly illustrated, The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide is far more than a traditional "how-to" book. Based on the experiences of a diversified build team, the TIPS, TRICKS, and PITFALLS characteristic of Walt Kuleck's previous Complete Assembly Guides are more wide-ranging and encompassing than ever. Coached by pistolsmith Drake Oldham, the author and two "advanced amateurs" show how to assemble and upgrade the M1911. The team discovered on their journey toward understanding that many more "situations" arose than would have been the case if the author had been building a pistol "for The Guide" by himself. They share their experiences-including their missteps—as they build their pistols.
As a bonus, the Guide includes the report on a series of Drop Tests performed by Drake's Gun Works and the book team. The result of these tests shocked us; the new data from these tests is sure to rekindle the ongoing controversy about firing pin safeties.
The Assembly Guide goes far beyond the military manuals in both scope and depth. It’s a “must have” for every M1911 owner! The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide is 6" x 9", is Perfect bound with a laminated soft cover, and has 257 pages and over 400 photographs. All copies are signed by Walt Kuleck

Second Printing; Same Great Contents,
New Centennial Commemorative Cover featuring the Colt 100th Anniversary Tier II Pistol
STILL NEW!! The M1911 Complete Owner's Guide - This book is the latest volume in the Scott A. Duff Publications’ Guide series. Like the other Guides, its purpose is to give the new M1911 owner an in-depth understanding of his or her pistol, while providing the experienced owner knowledge that they don’t yet have, and with the intent of giving even the expert new insights into the M1911.

CD-ROM – 1911/1911A1/Government Models by Karl Karash (2005). This CD shows a remarkable collection of 1911s and 1911A1s, some Government Models, and Argentine Colts, and a few revolvers as well. The CD includes over 5000 high resolution photos of over 150 original pistols. Each pistol is shown in full right and left views, and most are accompanied by a file of close up detail photos showing details of the various components, markings, and overall finish. The photos are extremely sharp and clear. Brief text accompanies each full side view.
The series begins with 1911 serial number 43, from the first day of production, to serial numbers in the two millions, the end of World War II production. Also included are some National Match and commercial Colt Government Models. M1911A1 Remington Rand, Union Switch and Signal, and Ithaca are covered as are North American 1911s and M1911A1 Singers. Photos of a variety of accessories including holsters, web gear, and other accoutrements are included. A folder, labeled "parts" contains extreme close ups of details, including early parts, early markings, British proofs, and remarkable color renditions of fire blued triggers, hammers, slide stops and safety locks.
Navigating through the photos is fairly easy using Windows Explorer. Once a file is clicked on, one can view a slide show of the contents. However, it is necessary to use the back button to get to another file.
The bulk of the disc's contents are digital photos, but it also contains a folder of "articles." In this folder are a number of text files that are opened with Microsoft Word Pad. Contained are articles mainly from informal communications and on-line discussion forums. Also included is an Excel spreadsheet listing known serial numbers of NRA marked 1911's.
This CD is not substitute for Clawson's "Collector's Guide", it is a supplement to that work. It is most helpful for the collector seeking to authenticate a M1911 or M1911A1, the number of color photos and details on this disc would be impossible to duplicate in a book. No serious M1911/1911A1 pistol collector should be without this CD or without Clawson’s book. They go hand in hand as study aids.
