I got this idea from another thread. Let's pretend you're able to begin with a basic GI-spec 1911, and you have an unlimited amount of cash to spend upgrading it with the features you want on it. Mind you, I am only considering features here, not qualitative differences (meaning, a bull barrel or ramped barrel would be a feature difference, but a "match barrel" is not, since it is more of a quality upgrade).
What would YOU put on YOUR GI-spec M1911A1?
So, here's mine (no particular order):
1) Checkered front strap
2) Upgraded sights, preferably the Novak Extreme Duty adjustables with tritium inserts
3) Beavertail grip safety
4) Rounded commander style hammer
5) Lightened adjustable trigger
6) Flat checkers mainspring housing
7) Lowered and flared ejection port
8) Extended single side thumb safety
9) Beveled magazine well (for a house gun, a full large magwell would be nice)
Edit: Crud, I did the poll options wrong, I'll need to see if a mod can alter it so more than one can be chosen. My bad.
