Default Another SA 1911

I guess I am on a Springer kick!





Got it used ... it was FILTHY! But it is fairly tight. Trigger is not great but the rest of the gun is in very good shape after a detail strip and an hour in the ultrasonic clearer. I will bead blast it to really clean it up and it will look like new!

Now ... what to do with it (or to it)???

I am thinking old school pin gun. Compensators are COOL! I know they don't make a darned bit of difference on a 45 but ... like I said ... COOL! Ordered a magwell already and have a ton of spare parts to upgrade as needed. Will do some trigger work too.

Link to Comp & Barrel

Any other suggestions???

That is a very nice looking pistol. You seem to be looking for opinions and I have a head full. I'm with AutoMag, I'd leave as it is. A clean 1911 is beautiful in my eyes.

There are some American icons that are just right as they come from the factory. That looks like one of them.
