I finally bought my first 1911 pistol. Now I know why it is one of the best pistol ever designed my John Browning. I went with a Springfield Mil-Spec stainless, full size 1911.
It feels great! And took it out to the range to break it in. The grouping was decent for being fresh-out-of-the-box. Before the range, I didn't even field strip it. Just loaded the mags with some Remington UMC ammos and away they went.
After shooting the pistol, I know what I want to mod on it. So we're going to start with these mods:
- The stock short, curved trigger didn't do the job. So I'm going with a new flat trigger. This will give me an even trigger pull at ever part of the trigger, no matter where my finger sits.
- The thumb safety will be replace with an ambi safety. What can I say, I'm a lefty.
- New 19# mainspring.
Future plans:
- Novak rear sight.
- Dovetail front sigh.
- Complete polish of slide and frame to remove the matte areas.
- Commander hammer. Will have to mod the stock grip safety to accommodate the new hammer, because I don't want a beaver tail safety.
Will post pictures of before and after soon.
