I've never seen 38 super on the shelf at the big box stores.No kidding. Even finding new ammo to turn into brass isn't easy. The option of NOT handloading is a nice one to have.

But I can! I love that thing, one of the best purchases I ever made.
Love those roll marks back then...don't like the big blocky stuff they have now.
You did an amazing job on that 1911 it is a dream to shoot. Its nice to know who did the work.
I saw that one. Little short on funds after vacation unfortunately.
I saw it up close. Very nice.
Regardless of what I do I keep coming back to my 1911 when it comes to what I like for a 'favorite' semi to shoot.
I was out yesterday and even though I was rifle shooting I brought about 30 rounds to run through it and it comes down to 'fit' for me (both in hand and carry) and the incredible trigger my 1991-A1 has. I like my CZ 75 but reality is I don't like the long takeup and creep (on any gun) not just the CZ.
Ok SO I want (need) better sights on my 1991 however I do NOT want to get a set with a stake on front and I would like a flattop and in stainless steel.
SO - I am thinking of finding a different slide with a dovetail front and have been scrounging Ebay for them but a decent slide is a couple hundred bucks, add a set of good sights and I'll have 3-350 in a new slide setup.
OR - should I just look for a 'better' 1911.
Hey thanks for the input and help.RVTECH, trust me there's more than enough meat on top for a dovetail cut. One of the industry standard cuts is Novak, as just about every sight maker has a model to fit.
Basically about what I had in mind - maybe cut a wood block to fill the gap between the base, leather & sight to get it to support it solidly but all the same.I put the slide in a machinist vice, as it has a solid base for the sight to contact. I put a piece of leather, or a few pieces of heavy card stock between the sight and the base so it doesn't get damaged or scratched...then stake away.
Oh man I agree! Worked on a few myself over the years!I never wish anyone luck when working on 1911s, I always wish them much patience
This is a very REAL possibility. The potential trigger quality and accuracy of a good 1911 cannot be argued. I hear many speak of how this or that gun has a good trigger etc. and some do - but then many DO NOT. A friend of mine has a Beretta INOX with a great trigger. And my once owned IMI Baby Eagle had a FANTASTIC trigger (after the standard takeup 'decocker' style guns have) but it was excellent.Just go and get a Ruger 1911 in 9mm,
