| Man, I'm so excited - just ordered my first 1911, a Springfield loaded model PX9109L. Anything I need to know? Advice? Stuff to do to it? Stuff to avoid? I'm a 1911 noob, so any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!! |

I've got the same pistol. It should work out fine for you. Mine had a really stiff trigger pull. I replaced the factory stuff with a YoBo matched hammer/sear and a Dlask magnesium trigger. (it didn't 'need' these parts, but I wanted them) I used the original parts to build up a parts gun. Only thing mine 'needed' was a bevel. The bottom edges of the slide were sharp enough to draw blood every time I pulled the trigger. Adjusting my grip would have fixed my problem, but I wasn't going to change what has worked for me for some 20-odd years...it was easier and more fun to cut/file/refinish my gun. |
