I have been depending exclusively on my 1911s to carry me through all the matches that I shoot. These guns absolutely must run and so far they have been 100% dependable but I realize that that will not last forever. I have several major matches coming up and I can't afford to be unprepared.
My main competition pieces are a Kimber Stainless Gold Match .45 ACP and a Kimber Stainless Target II 9mm. The .45 has about 12,000 rounds through it and the 9mm has gone bang about 5,000+ times.
I currently carry a spare slide stop that functions in both guns, extra magazines, and more then enough recoil springs.
What parts should I have on hand in case of an emergency and why? Also, who makes the best particular part for my guns? (e.g. Ed Brown's Hardcore .45 extractor, Wilson's Firing pin stop, etc.) Thanks in advance.
