I just wanted to share some pics of my latest project. It started as a Springfield Loaded 1911 in 9mm I picked up used on Gunbroker with the idea of making it a cheaper alternative to shooting .45. I plan to train with it and possibly shoot IDPA with it. Here's a list of items added:
10-8 rear sight with .140 notch 10-8 flat trigger 10-8 stainless slide stop 10-8 stainless grip screws 10-8 stainless mag release Wilson Combat G.I. style recoil spring guide and new stainless ringed plug Wilson Combat 10rd 9mm mags Novak fiber optic front sight Smith & Alexander stainless mainspring housing VZ grey golf balled grips Wolff 11lb variable recoil spring and 19lb mainspring

Thanks guys! I love projects like this and have been looking forward to putting it together for a while now. So far it's really paying off nicely. However, this is just the first step. I don't even know what else I may do but it will be a continued evolution as I shoot it. I can't wait!

| I have the springer 9mm with the Bo-mar style rear sight and haven't had any malfunctions at all. I've had around 1000 rounds through it so far. I also have the RIA tactical 9mm and haven't had any problems with it either. I've got mil-tac grips on mine and the only other thing I want is a fiber optic front sight. |

Nice, welcome to the 9mm 1911 club. -  Thanks, but I already had a Kimber Stainless Target in 9mm and a Pro Tactical in 9mm. I just wanted a full sized, fixed sight 1911 with the items I installed. 
By the way, here's a crappy cell phone pic of a group I'm kinda proud of on my second outing with the Springfield. 10 shots @ 10 yards...
