Sweeney has a great way of putting complicated instructions into simple English all can understand. He is at top form. I actually found as much useful reloading info in his Vol 1 of the 1911, but for those wanting a simple overview, this is it!

Good starter book

If someone is just starting it is a good book. I was wanting more technical data to improve on my skills. Average rating
