I'm sort of behind the curve on 1911s having not owned one for a number of years, but starting to get the bug to get another one(s). For a CCW gun, I'd say this: After confirming that the gun shoots reliably in base trim with good hollow point ammo after a suitable break-in period, I'd give attention to the sights, grips, and the hammer/trigger.
