PS, I have no designs of opening a shop so I don't need the best, just a solid basic set.
This looks like a decent set of "Hollow Ground" Screwdrivers. That makes all the difference, hollow ground fits the screws best.

If I may, I would suggest you go online and download/print a copy of FM 25-35. This is the Army Field Manual for the 1911/1911A1. The download is free and it's everything you want as far as parts, theory of operation, etc.

I've been working and messing with 1911s for over thirty years and still have a copy on my Bench.

This is a GREAT thread for a newbie - to 1911's in general and to this forum in particular - like me.

This one thread is worth the price of admission!
