Doesn't take much tweaking of a 1911oid to get into IDPA CDP/ESP or Single Stack. Their "target" models have adjustable sights and ambi safeties. All I would do is change to a F.O. front sight, add a mag well funnel, and adjust the trigger pull downwards. Assuming reliable function, of course.
I don't see why an American could not be honed to shoot SSP and Production as well as any other Plastic Pistol. Especially if the shooter were getting paid to.
Maybe add some checkering to the front strap, depending on how far Ruger wants to go.
The American would probably work well as a Production/ESP/SSP. I made Expert in SSP my first time out with one. But Ruger will have to make parts. I don't think there is any aftermarket support at all for that firearm.
