I have been looking for a nice site that gave simple instruction and pics of 1911 takedown and then reassemble. I am fairly new to 1911's and whenever I read one, the author was giving instructions that I'm sure he thought were simple and basic but would leave me scratching my head a bit. Then I finally found this one :

Seems perfect for me - limited simple dialoge with great pictures. If anyone sees any flaws in it, let me know
