Thnx. Still need to run another couple hundred rounds through it before I do a complete trigger job on it. Then Ill also bevel the mag well So far Ive replaced the factory collet bushing and fitted an s/s N/M bushing, Match trigger, fitted a new, over size sear spring as the old one was weak and was allowing hammer follow, 18 1/2# wolf spring set, throat and polish feed ramp, bobbed the hammer, Triji sights, and replaced the wood grips with a set of two piece Colt rubber grip panels. Found that the sear pin was short. Thats the reason for the weird looking hole in the first pic. nothing broke or bent just SHORT from the factory. Replaced it Guess I need to pick up another one so I have something to work on again

Admiring both
 . Particularly $200 parts and labor. I'm not much for stainless, but that Officer's ACP is sounding and looking like something I wouldn't mind shooting or carrying at all.You two do realize you are teasing a Colt 1911 junkie's habit don't you? |

Heh heh, Raulin, these guys sure know how to lure you in, huh?
Stainless is my weakness, I have lots of glass beads, sand and polish to prove it! If beauty is only skin deep, stainless goes though and through.
