Well, I did some work on this one, so I thought I'd share. Y'all can call me names - I'm not a pro, but I just shot an IDPA course with her and she shoots just fine. I'll be sending the frame to Tripp for hard chroming, so I wasn't too particular about the finish where I was grinding - I just got something on there and called it good.
But here are some photos - first time blending a grip safety in and I picked the Ed Brown high version - that was a learning experience. I wound up blending it in in the down position because I was doing my grinding with it held in with a rubber band - in the future, I think I'll do my blending in the up position by letting the sear spring and MSH hold it. I could probably remove more metal, but it's comfy to shoot, so I think I'll leave it as is. Other parts:
Meprolight night sights
C&S narrow extended ambi-safety
Ed Brown grip safety
Wolff recoil and plunger springs
Some Nowlins stuff I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with
Different Colt grips than what were on it before
Anyway, she shoots great and digested all of the ammo I ran through her today, to include a box of old Black Talons. Only stoppage was one of my reloads that had a high primer (oops).
Here's pics:

ETA: I'm glad I did this work and I don't think I'll be doing it again - I'll just pay someone next time!
