and now I am here with it.

Added a few different things such as EGW Barrel Bushing, Wilson Slide stop, and a flat mainspring housing.

I plan on keeping it this way. I plan on abusing this gun. We'll see how it works.

I know one thing, every day I become more and more of a 1911 guy.

They are both original grips. The milspec comes with two sets. :)

Definitelyhelps to fill the hand more.. but I am still thinking that I am going to need a longer trigger.. but yes I like the way it feels now much better than before.. good trade!

Looks good! Everyday I seem to change my mind as to which set of included grips I like better. I guess that's the beauty of having 2 sets; they can change when I do!

Is there such a thing as a "Cocked and Unlocked" mentality out there?
Afraid you might forget to click the thumb safety off?
In such a high degree of readiness you don't need the extra movement of clicking the thumb safety off.
"That's what the grip safety is for."
I know... thats why there is the half cock notch.

Seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Please reconsider this. It's pure fulishness and irresponsible to those around you.

Just add a "Quack trigger" and it will be perfect.

Is it? I have some guns that don't even have a safety.

I carry it on me with the safety on or if I know it is loaded, but even that seems like overkill. I don't touch the trigger unless I am ready to shoot it.

OP, interested in selling the original grips?

I'll think about it. Make me an offer.
