Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the front strap? As far as I can tell it's just standard 1911 fare. The safety and hammer came with it (as well as a pretty damn beefy thumb safety which is sadly going to be swapped so my lefty self can use it). I always wanted something Springfield milspec-ish with a blued finish so I'm pretty happy with it overall, though I wish it had a normal (or ring) hammer, and I'll probably add the wrap around pach grips to give it a little more girth.

Older SA's have that angular, squared off front strap that doesn't really "flow" into the grip panel. My first 1911 was a Springfield loaded that had the same type of frontstrap |

First 9mm 1911....it either needs a little more break-in or this thing just likes to be well lubed. I've had a couple times where it won't lock back on the last shot of an empty mag(does it on both mags). We're only up to about 250rds thus far so time will tell.
