Here are some pictures of my carry 1911, nothing to fancy.
Here are the changes that I have made thus far. I’ll be pretty much Sticking with Wilson Combat and Harrison Custom parts from here on out. Wilson Combat FPS Extra Power FP Spring Harrison Custom Gold Bead Front Sight - installed by Harrison U Notch Extreme Service Rear Sight - installed by Harrison FCG with TR sear and Retro Hammer Stainless Steel hammer strut Retro Thumb safety VZ Thin double diamond in hyena brown grips I hand fitted the FPS and Thumb safety my self and did all the required function checks. The FCG dropped in with no issues but will continue to check for hammer and sear nose engagement. The thumb safety has a .014 inch gap between the bottom of slide and top of thumb safety when in the off position ( recommended .020 inch) I don’t see an issue with this unless someone more knowledgeable than me does. Over time I plan on changing out the MIM internals to tool steel but I think I’m off to a good start. Trigger is currently 4.5 pounds and is sweet as hell.

I would have one of those if I didn’t already have a loaded parkerized.

Was your extractor clocked necitating a new FPS ?
My new Garrison is clocked. How was it fitting the Wilson ? I'm deciding between the Wilson or EGW. |

I didn’t have any clocking issues with the original FPS but upon inspection of the Springfield FPS, under quite a bit of magnification, I noticed what appears to me to be a crack or mold mark from the MIM process. Since I really wasn’t sure either way and FPS’ relatively cheap I decided to replace it with the Wilson Combat Bulletproof. Fitting went went pretty easy and I performed function without the magazine inserted. |

I'm in the process of modding mine. I had to send back the retro Commander hammer I ordered from Wilson. When I get a new one I can finish and post pics.
Base gun just to post a pic.

Nice pistol, I almost went with one but opted on the Ronin instead.
Was there an issue with Wilson commander hammer? |

Nice gun OP.
I have one I have been playing with. About 3K rounds through it so far and I really like it. The slide to frame fit has loosened up noticeably which I'm not crazy about but the gun runs great. I added 10-8 grips and flat trigger, Chen SI magwell, Harrison .350 rear sight and a Dawson .100 fiber front. Had to dehorn the the thumb safety and slide stop because they were cutting me up after 500 round sessions. I tinkered with the trigger a little and its right at 3 pounds. The bluing hasn't held up that well but I don't mind the worn look.

Very nice, I plan on getting a solid trigger later on down the road. I don’t expect the blueing to holdup under use but I’m good with that.
At one point I plan taking off some of the sharp edges. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nice pistol, I almost went with one but opted on the Ronin instead. Was there an issue with Wilson commander hammer? The first one I bought and installed on my Ronin was nice and finished, the chamfers were shinny. The one I got to install on the Garrison had dull chamfers and just didn't look like a finished product. I thought about the Harrison Retro Hammer, but the hole on the Wilson is a little larger and I kind of like that look. Here is my finished Ronin.  Last thing I added was a Wilson thumb safety that I ordered with the components for the Garrison, I'll get an updated photo after I finish the Garrison. |

I know it's been awhile, but here is my Garrison finished.
 Internally, I changed the sear, disconnector, and added the retro Wilson hammer. |

I kinda did the same thing more or less... I went ahead and swapped out a few parts. I put in and Ed Brown trigger pull kit (hammer, sear, disconnector, MH Spring), an EB rebuild kit, EB thumb safety, and an EB extractor. Finally I took the slim grips off and replaced with the VZ grips I had. Trigger pull is a crisp 3.5... A tack driver!

Did you have to do anything to the EB trigger pull kit to get it down to 3.5 pounds? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Very nice looking pistol! Did you have to do anything to the EB trigger pull kit to get it down to 3.5 pounds? Thanks!!! Not really... put a dab of graphite lubricant on sear & hammer and wiped clean after one rangebsession. Also, pulled back a little tension off the sear spring. The ED brown trigger pull kit comes matched and in my opinion only needs further work if you want a range only match pistol. For carry and self defense 3.5 works for me. |
