[QUOTE="nsbpd509, post: 1041667, member: 5345"] The beauty of the 1911 is that it is a great gun as is, with mild mods, or a full blown make-over. You can do as little or as much as you want with it, you are really only limited by your imagination and pocketbook. I had one quite similar to yours (Full size) and thought it looked a bit plain, so I dressed it out with adjustable sights, beaver-tail, bobbed hammer, ambi-safety, full length guide rod, and then replaced the release, trigger, mag release, and barrel bushing (all except the guide rod in matte black), and added black buffalo horn grips. I thought the contrasting colors set it off and looked pretty good afterward. Of course, then I either traded it or sold it for the next project... :scream: But like I said, it is more a matter of personal preference than anything else. Good luck and have a blast. [/QUOTE]
