ok we all know opinions are like ........, but I thought i would come here and throw this out.
I was looking for my daughter a 1911 for xmas ended up with 2 hers and a frankengun. both function 100% when i shot them but the frankengun barely cleared the ejection port when ejecting, just replaced the springs have not had a chance to test yet.
this gun is stainless reciever park slide w gi sights. Since this is a franken gun already it will be my test bed. If it was yours what would you replaced and be specific and give a reason why the parts ya chose. This can be from mild to wild.
Thanks

warp speed hammer
Flat trigger shoe
Beavertail
Dawson ice magwell
Dawson or Novak sights
Possibly some slide milling, just for aesthetics

Wilson Combat Mag - cause weak spring along with floppy follower = feeding problems

extended slide release - cause most thumbs are too short to work it

full length guide rod - take the slop out

beavertail safety - for comfort

I put a Dawson curved and flared main spring housing on mine, best thing I ever did to it. Next will be a longer slide release. Other than that I'm pretty happy. I've never shot another 1911 that was of higher quality or more custom, so I don't know if there is a better trigger than what I've got. Kimber CDPII Custom

There is. You could have yours worked on by a gunsmith for a reasonable price.

with ya on the mags, this thing has to have the slide release replaced because it wont hold open w standard mags but will with wilsons due to design.

not sure on the extended slide release or safety like the gi set ups, but still trying to decide

not a fan of the full length guide rod have a competition gun w it

beavertail absolutely
