I really love a great 1911 slide to frame fit. My Les Baer and Early Model Kimber Classic Custom are excellent examples of pistols I personally own with a tight fit.
I have a "G.I." spec Norinco that has the typical military slide to frame fit, i.e. slight rattle. I always thought this will never be a super accurate pistol, no matter what I do. I installed a Kart hard fit barrel and oversized match bushing and took great pains to ensure a really tight fit.
From a sandbag rest I managed a "best" of 5 rounds in .75", 6 went into 1.00". I still love a great slide/frame fit, but it ain't no biggie any more; now I have proof for me. I'll post a pic tonight.
