Very informative. Lots of tips especially on fitting of slide and barrel, competition trigger work. Much of the information requires specialized tools, referrring to tools available from Brownell's. All of the tools are available from Brownell's, making the DVD's appear like a Brownell's commercial. The special tools make it easier to build a 1911, but I would've preferred more everyday tools for hand fitting of the 1911. Overall the DVD's are a good set overviewing most of the issues involved in building and fitting of a 1911. Combining this set and the Wilson Combat set will cover everything you needed to know in building 1911.

Very good DVD set, providing a lot of good information covering just about every aspect in building and maintaining a 1911. I rented the AGI, Building the Ultimate 1911, and this set recommending both sets. I prefer this DVD set over the AGI set because it reviews more hand fitting techniques w/o the specialized tools recommended in the AGI video. Combining this set and the AGI set covers all area in building a 1911.
