Ok, I recently came to own a RIA 1911 GI model, and any 1911 fan will know that it's as WW2 Gov't stock as you can get (doesn't even have a firing pin safety). I love this gun to death, but I would like to add a few creature comforts since I have a Brownell's 1911 catalog in front of me, and was wondering on some advice on anything I might have missed, or what you might add to make it a little more carry friendly.
Here's what I figure I'll get:
Wilson Combat "Bullet Proof" Extended Mag Release.
Novak "X-Model" Tritium Front and Rear Night Sights
Clark Custom Match Grade Ramped Barrel
EZ Equalizer Bushing Compensator
Wilson Combat Extended Slide Release
Nighthawk Custom Extractor
Nighthawk Custom Extended Thumb Safety
Wilson Combat Beavertail Grip Safety
Nighthawk Custom Full Length Guide Rod
Wilson Combat "Shok-Buffs"
Nighthawk Custom Match Hammer
Wilson Combat Sear, Disconnecter, Sear Spring, Hammer Strut
STI Titanium Firing Pin and Firing Pin Stop
Nighthawk Custom Checkered Arched Mainspring Housing
Chip McCormick and Wilson Combat Magazines
STI Match Trigger
Wolff 16lb. Recoil Spring
Wolff 23lb. Hammer Spring
Crimson Trace Laser Grips
Brownell's Tin Coated Torx Head Grip Screws
WHEW! I think that's everything lol. When I build my own I'll be using all the same parts but adding a Essex Arms frame, and Les Baer Slide.
