Okay, when I first bought it, i was thinking about all the mods I could do. But now it's growing on me. I think I'll keep it stock. It's b-e-a-utiful...
 Anyone else think it's perfect the way it is? (I have the green one)

I like my GI just the way it is sights and all. Not a thing on it is planned to be changed. If I want another 1911 tricked out I will have to get another 1911. I do like Irish317s project though.

The one I have now will stay as is. I am planning on buying another to "trick out", I like having some things in stock form and others completely modified. Which is the reason I went out and bought another 10/22 today.

Only thing I did to my Colt 70 Series is install some Pachmyers and a issue arched mainspring housing with the lanyard loop. It has been serving me well since I got it in 1984!

Sights, trigger & barrel got changed on mine. Aside from that, it's the entry level park finish with the spur hammer looking 1911A1. Shoots like a Gold Cup though.

when i bought mine i too wanted to trick it out - but you know what? It was my first handgun, and after 5000+ rounds, i wouldnt change anything. I can outshoot ANY of my other guns(SIG is the only real competitor) with that gun, shitty sights and all. Now, from running it in classes i wont trust it to be 100% if it has more than 500 rounds through it without cleaning. But it doesnt get that kind of attention now that i own other pistols.
Im ordering my Ed Brown Executice Elite next month - It is going to be my tricked out one. For now my GI will stay GI. The reason i will change my GI is for reliablility. Have a new extended ejector and new extractor installed and have the ejection port lowered. but like i said, thats just for reliability. I like mine just the way it is, just cant run it 1000 rounds straight. AA |

I'm with Irish on this one.
  Follow thru with your first thought when you bought it. Otherwise it may haunt you. Mine kept calling me untill I got the file out. Then it started to cry. Now it just laughs and smiles all the time. You guy's understand I'm talking about the gun, and not me, right?

I had to add an ambi safety and beavertail to mine. I don't regret any of the other mods though. She shoots and operates like a 900 dollar pistol.

I think I'm going to change the sights eventually, even though I like that it's now fairly close to the WWII design. One gunsmith that looks appealing is Precision Gunworks.

I just got one of the OD Grren WWII's. Like many said, the sights are hard to see, and the trigger was heavy, but the gun shot everything I put in it and grouped well. Mine was packed up a few days after purchase and shipped back to SA. I know that sounds bad, but I intended to do that. Its getting the full Pro package. Hopefully i'll have it back by Christmas. So I guess, no, I couldn't leave it alone. later, AJ |

Only thing I did to mine is change the grips to Hogue Reproductions and swapped the extractor to a Wilson. Other than that, I'm keeping mine stock.
