The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are out numbered by the people that vote for a living
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
A few other good resources are:
The M1911 Pistols Organization
The Sight's M1911 .45 ACP Site
The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are
peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.~ Samuel Adams

Our 1911 section and youtube is a good start plus the 1911 forum. We cover just about everything even taking it down and other great features.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Video breakdowns are great ways to learn how to strip one to its frame and put it back together with ease. I actually watched the Armscor video before i bought my RIA 1911, which made it feel like second nature taking it down for the first cleaning.
"I am a better American today because of Barack Obama. Hear it loud, hear it clearly. I am a better American today because of Barack Obama. I know what my country has done, both good and bad. I have a deep appreciation of what this country is and what the American people are capable of. This is not a setback. This is a challenge and believe me, the American people are up to the challenge,...." -Glenn Beck
