Are you new to 1911s? Before you spend a ton of money on the pistol, answer a number of questions to yourself. Is this gun new and will you void a warranty if you do modifications to it? What issues are you trying to resolve or function improve by making mods? Why would you make mods before you have a "feel" for the pistol; if you shoot it a while you will know what needs to be done. Will this be a carry gun, competition gun, night stand gun? Its intended function would drive some mods and eliminate others (i.e, why would you put a magwell on anything other than a competition gun?)
SA's website shows this pistol with target sights, beavertail grip safety, a commander style hammer and a match grade trigger; these are many of the things people add as upgrades. So, before you spend a ton of money; what are you going to use it for and why are you making the mods?
Nice looking piece, good luck!
How many rounds thru it?Just picked up a .45 Range Officer yesterday. So far I'm thinking of adding a magwell. What else should I be looking at with this gun?
I sent Kimber to the Springfield Custom shop for some work, they quoted 4-6 weeks and I had pistol back in my hands in less than 5 weeks! The best part was their shipping cost, $35 round trip!Anyone sent their 1911 into Springfield for custom work? What is the turn around time usually for factory work?
