Runs like a champ, no malfunctions whatsoever..  Anyway it's a milspec model.  I fitted a match bushing and it is really a great shooter but it needs a crisper trigger and the stock setup really gives me hammer bite.  So I am thinking a Wilson beavertail.  I would have to radius the frame with the required jig and then refinish that part.  And might as well round off the sharp edges all over which means a repark, which I can also do.  What say you?

Save all the parts you replace, so you can buy another frame and put them back on it for a second 1911.

Add up the cost of everything you want to do it.  Then look at the production modles out there and see where they come in.  Kimber had everything I was looking for, it was a wash to have it done or buy a New Kimber.

get a commander style beavertail that doesnt require radiusing, get a trigger job done with a commander style hammer, put some new sights on it if you want, and leave it.  unless the sharp edges are really bugging you I'd leave them.

Theedges bother me.  The radius of the frame doesn't bother me as I am confident I can doit easily.  

The gun shoots great and I would be able to get everything I need to do the job for under $100.  So figure the pistol was $20 out the door, that still less than a NIB Loaded model.
