Good morning gents! I am dropping off my Springfield Mil-Spec at a local gun smith this afternoon, and I am having the following done:

1. New vented aluminum trigger (STI hopefully)

2. Flat serrated mainspring housing

3. Titanium firing pin

4. High rise beaver-tail safety

Is there anything else that you gentlemen would recommend I have done while my pistol is in at the shop? I kind of like the standard combat hammer, so I would prefer to keep it on. Any recommendations are always appreciated. I will be sure to post some pictures of her post-op

checker the front strap.
it should have a Ti firing pin already
you'll need a different hammer, for the beavertail grip safety.

or bob the current GI/Mil-Spec hammer.

For me a hammer and sear would come before any of those.

Hey thanks for the help guys. Quack, are you sure that the Mil-Spec model has a titanium firing pin? The Loaded states that its a step up from the Mil-Spec, and has an added titanium firing pin...but I can't find any info online regarding the Mil-Spec firing pin. You know a lot more about 1911s than I at no mistake, but I just want to make sure.

I agree with tool steel hammer & sear before checkering. I'd get a quality plunger tube while it was being worked on too.

Should be easy to find out. Just break it down and see for yourself. It's easy.

Yep, thats how it passes drop safety tests.
