This is what I did to my Colt 45 1991A1 a few years ago. Wilson fitted grip safety, Wilson hammer and sear, Wilson fitted barrel bushing, 2 pc. guide rod, Wilson 18lb. recoil spring, feed ramp and barrel chamber job, removed the 2 ears from extractor and reshaped, beveled bottom of mag. well, 2 Wilson S.S. mags. lowered ejection port, jewelled chamber area, cut hammer hooks and re-faced sear for 4# pull, polished inside slide and lugs and broke sharp corners on lugs in slide and barrel. Pachmayer grips, and finished metal in black and S.S. Tuff-Kote. White dot sights. I did all the work myself and It will shoot a lot better than me. Al

Excellent! Looks Great! I've seen enough home-gunsmithing jobs gone wrong, that I leave anything but the simplest jobs to the Pro's. Obviously you know what you are doing.
 
I'm curious, which white dot sights are those (or did you mod the existing 1991 sights with white dots)?
 
With all those Wilson parts, shoulda just bought a Wilson!

I'm kidding. It looks like you did a very nice job, and it looks like a real shooter.
