Greetings all. Well I snagged my new stainless 1911 today, and it's a beautiful thing. 200 rounds later I've come to the conclusion that it's fun to fire, and a pretty reasonable shot. Unfortunately there are already a couple of things I'd like to swap out already, mostly to improve the comfort and feel of the gun. I have a couple years of machining experience, and I plan on picking up the Kuhnhausen manuals before I do any work. Before I can start though, I need to know what parts I should use. So I come to you guys.
I have a Springfield Armory MilSpec 1911 in Stainless. I would like to replace the ILS mainspring housing with a normal one (keeping the arched outsing). I also want a long trigger and a beavertail grip safety. Since the beavertail also requires a commander-style hammer, I guess I should get one of those as well. What brand/models would you recommend I install?
On a related note, does anyone know of a way to get a beavertail with a hammer that doesn't look like the traditional commander hammer? I prefer the style of the spur hammers, but my hand is begging me for a beavertail.
