News from The Sight M1911
Volume 148, 3/21/04
One site that I can’t recommend too highly for info on old collector M1911’s is Ty Moore’s site. Ty is an expert on M1911 and M1911A1 pistols. This site has oodles of close-up shots of the different pistols and their components, plus lots of identification information for pistols and their components.
