Have the bug to buy and as it gets worse build/modify a 1911.
Am now looking for a good basic platform/victim. Maybe a new RIA but prefer to find a used 1911. Would not want to screw up a collectible so we'll see.
At this point, I am considering the following modifications.
Dehorn, smooth/blend.
Bobtail it. Like the look, would like to hear from others that have a bobtail.
Am considering having the front of the slide cut similar to a Wilson Sentinel.
Work over the guts to provide a smooth trigger.
Dependable. Primary shooting would be range/hardball.
Of course, I desire to do the work myself as I want to make this a learning project with much fun time playing Frankenstein.
Any suggestions for what will likely be the last gun my wife will let me have. Have way too many according to her but, none that I can cut up, modify, play with.....
