I just got a Colt Sistema 1927, an Argentine pistol made on Colt machinery under Colt supervision. All parts are interchangeable with a Colt 1911, 70 series (if I understand this correctly).
The pistol is very, very nice. Arsenal refinished, new barrel, etc. Some of the parts are very rough though. I'm sure it will work fine but the trigger pull isn't the best, the slide is slightly rough, the hammer bites the web between my index finger and thumb.
My question is: I'd like to drop in some new trigger parts, and maybe replace the springs if needed and get a new hammer as well. I'd also like to replace that difficult slide lock piece. What companies/brands should I look for that sell quality products? I know I can buy most everything for this pistol at Brownells but I'm not sure what brands make this pistol into the smooth functioning 1911 that I want.
Also, any other tips about certain mods or parts replacements that will improve the pistol would be greatly appreciated.
