An Innovator's Notebook
Grennell was an old-time writer, a man who was re-building M1911 .45's and making them more than the sum of their parts, long before the world assumed a box-stock Kimber was a "custom 45." For those interested in uncommon custom tricks that time has lost, as we now have a pretty much "standard" list of .45 tricks, Grennell is well worth reading...

Mainly for Colt .45 collectors
The author spends most of the book describing the history of the Colt .45 and the various forms of the model 1911. There is a short, useful section, on .45 ammunition. A short section on .45 revolvers. Other manufacturers of .45 auto pistols rate little or nothing in coverage. The author is obviously a Colt .45 fan and writes this book for others with the same...

An Innovator's Notebook,
This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of the .45 (Paperback)
Grennell was an old-time writer, a man who was re-building M1911 .45's and making them more than the sum of their parts, long before the world assumed a box-stock Kimber was a "custom 45." For those interested in uncommon custom tricks that time has lost, as we now have a pretty much "standard" list of .45 tricks, Grennell is well worth reading. Together with Ace Hindman, he developed the powerhouse .45 Super cartridge, and Super aficanados will find the history fascinating. Written in a warm, yet not anecdotal style, it's info-packed yet easy to read.
