I may be getting a GI model 1911. I know that it is not cost effective to turn a GI gun into the equivalent of a high dollar 1911 and that's not what I am wanting. I want a gun that looks basically the same as it came from Springfield, but with a nice trigger pull and anything it might need to make it run better.
I know a decent amount about 1911s, historically. As far as what it takes to maintain and run them, I am a complete novice.
I am trading for a 1911 GI Champion. What I want is a solid carry gun that I can take to matches and not be disappointed with. I have been told the GI model guns are solid pistols, but would love to know what to expect, watch for, or plan to have worked on. If I get the gun, it already has better sights, they just need to be installed.
I'm a Glock guy...so use small words......
