I got some used Wilson's for the super and they run great, I've also heard good things about Metalform and Checkmate.

Need to find some in stock. Everybody seems to be out on the 9mm (except for the $39 ETM's from Wilson)

Nice - congrats! I know what you mean about the thumb safety - the ambi mine came with wasn't too bad but when I sent it back for some work (sight adjustment, a GI trigger/ thumb safety) the new one was real stiff. Both done by RIA - go figure. I still like a lot though and it just plain runs!

This is making me want a 1911. This year was supposed to be a training year. I may have to reassign the finances.

Thanks.

Just got 2 of the SS mags from them. Was advised to go that way since they handle JHP's better than the blue.

The trigger is stiff. About 5-5.25 lbs.. Hopefully it'll loosen up as the round count climbs...
