Getting there

This is my 1911 so far. As you can probably tell from the finish wear, I’ve been shooting the hell out of it and carrying it every day now.

Parts so far are: a Cylinder & Slide 4.5 lb. pull hammer set, including hammer, sear, disconnector, and springs; a Cylinder & Slide long trigger; an Ed Brown serrated arched mainspring housing, because I wanted the lawyer lock out of there and I tried a flat mainspring housing, but it didn’t fit my hand as well; a Colt notched grip safety; and a Wolff  18.5 lb. recoil spring, as I’m carrying with +P 230 grain JHP rounds.
