1911 upgrades

[AndyRealtree]

I recently acquired a Springfield 1911-A1 for my birthday. I've already got hogue grips on it, and plan to replace the sights as well. What other upgrades and in what order would you recommend?

Give it to your wife and buy a Glock!!!

Just got the same exact one for my 31st and dang the thing is sweet! Congrats! I'll be watching this myself. Heard Wilson Combat makes some very nice stuff too!

[AndyRealtree]

Lol. It's an expensive taste for sure. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have more money tied up in this 1911 than I do in my AR. Haha

I shot Chris at STI a pm earlier asking the same question. He's the yoda of the 1911 world. I'll forward you his response

I have shot a few of Chris's personal weapons and can tell you they are tuned and GREAT!!!

Especially the one he used in my class....it was SICK!

Lol.. I wish. I had to sell off a kidney to have enough money to build my AR earlier

Love a 1911, never done any work on one.

I've shot many of them, but this is the first one I've been able to call mine. It's perfectly fine the way it is, but I have to tinker with it to make it mine. Lol

I love hogue grips. I've had em on all of my pistolas. I don't think I could change now. Unless I was puttin on crimson trace plates.. Then I'd throw on the Pearce ones that fit under the plates
