Need Help with a 1911 Tool Kit/ Spare Parts Kit

[ikickhippies]

So I'm signed up for a LAV 1911 Operator's class in a few weeks. The first day is shooting and the second day is working over the gun then shooting some more.

My short background is that I work in a gun shop and have been here almost 10 years. I carry a Glock 19 daily and have been shooting matches [3 Gun/IDPA/ IPSC/ Local Matches] for 4 years. I've taken 4 firearms classes this year and got offered a spot in the Vicker's 1911 class. I am not traditionally a "1911 Shooter." I have owned several through the years but am down to two now. I feel the need to take this class to improve my shooting and to learn the ins and outs of the platform.

I need some help putting together a Tool Kit. It's required but honestly I'm unsure on exactly what to put in the bag. I'll be taking a Wilson Combat CQB and a Springer SS Loaded model. Both are 5" guns with GI Recoil Plugs.

This is Brownell's Kit:http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=1...RER_S_TOOL_KIT

How does this look? Honestly I doubt I need some of the specialty tools. I know a lot of you out there are a lot more experienced than I when it comes to the 1911 platform.

Also, as far as spare parts go what small parts should I take along with me? I'm not trying to break the bank here, and I'm not building a gun from scratch. Just a few parts that may break in shooting 800-1000 rounds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hilton Yam has some of the best reading on the subject as far as this I think.

The other articles are great reads as well.

Spare springs (the wolff set it okay), recoil spring plug, with a spare gun a loaded up pre-tuned extractor doesn't seem like a must-have.

I don't recall anything breaking in the 1911 class I attended.we shot closer to 500 rds.I believe there is an aar here somewhere.It was mostly going over how things worked togather and trouble shooting any issues that might come up.I brought spare springs,punches,cleaning stuff ,plug,and my 1911.org 1911 tool( http://www.m1911.org/ezine/Pocketsmith3_frame.htm) it has just about everything you will need.the 10-8 armorer tool (http://10-8performance.com/1911_Armorer.html)is nice and the 10 -8 armorer blockboth have come in handy fitting parts
