My brother in law bought this gun a couple years ago as a Gi model and had my smith fit a S&A beavertail. Then he traded it off and I got a call a couple months later asking if I wanted to buy it so I did. I have had the gun a year and a half slowly working on it and have added the following:
Wilson Combat Mainspring Housing
Ed Brown Extended Mag Release
Ed Brown Extended Thumb Safety
Wilson Combat Extended Slide Release
VZ Grips
Novak Adjustable Sights
Cylinder And Slide Hammer, Sear, and Disconnect
Fusion Barrel Bushing and Plug
Wilson Pin Set
Also I:
Dehorned entire pistol
Beveled the magwell
Stippled the front strap
undercut the trigger guard
Had the Slide Stop countersunk and recessed
then had it bead blasted

50 Rounds Is All I Have Got To Shoot At My Range At Home (Wife Has The Flu) But It Ran Flawless And Had No trouble Hitting 8 Inch Steel Plates @ 40 yards After Making One Sight Adjustment!
