I have a Colt 1991A1 that I used in my first few IDPA matches. I've found a few things I'd like to modify, but being a relative newbie to the 1911, while I'm working the pistol, I was wonder what else I might look at doing.
Why I want to work on this gun? It feeds everything so far. From what I understand, having a reliable 1911 is an excellent starting point, so I'd like to keep this one
First off what I noticed:
Need better sights––typically I'm shooting indoors/low light. stock sights are horrible. Going 3-dot or the like
Hammer bite. I can man up and just take it, or put an extended beavertail on. (plus hammer of course).
Any other suggestions for common modifications (for IDPA/carry). I'm not interested in a "race gun" at this point. Focus is really on realiability, functionailty, and usability. I'mnot beyond a trigger job or accuracy improvement, but at this point a stock 1911 performs better than me aiming wise, so I have other concerns/
