the ? keeps arising-- custom 1911 vs semi custom or production gun.
some of us have limited budgets and big dreams.....so the ? begs..if you use a nice 1911 as a base gun... what upgrades would you add to make it shoot and feel like one of those expensive custom 1911s? are upgrades able to improve the guns enough to make them shoot like (or close to) what a custom 1911 would ?
(please do not just say--action job-- include the details of what you think will make it better..parts and work to include)
example
I KNOW many guns can use a nice action job and the custom gunsmiths (who upgrade guns as well as build them )are very capable of performing magic on them. the issue is what to ask for. is it enough to just ask for a action job? do you specify trigger pull #s?... what parts might you ask for? or do you let the master decide the best way to improve your guns?
aesthetics are easy. we all know what cuts we like, what finishes push our buttons. I am looking for mechanical upgrades that matter during range use
thanks in advance for your replies
