i just got a Springfield GI a couple days ago and plan on carrying it. Im going to send it off to Gemini Customs and I was wondering if there were a good combination of accuracy work and reliability tuning.
Tightening the tolerances decreases the reliability a great deal but increases accuracy; i want a good balance of both. I cant really get a good idea as to the accuracy on the pistol as of current because the GI blade sights are horrendous! When i do manage to line up multiple shots though the groupings seem pretty tight. (to be honest, the 1911 is a completely different beast than the Sig 225 im used to shooting, so i cant truly comment until ive really gotten used to it)
I took it to the range and put 100 rounds of Winchester 230 grain ball through it and had 3 FTF of the first 3 magazines, but after the gun warmed up it ran flawlessly.
Obviously im going to get a throated barrel and have the feed ramp polished (and DEFINITELY a few Wilson Mags...) ETC. But what can i do along the lines of accuracy that wont interfere with the reliability tuning im going to get? Obviously some nice sights and a 4lb trigger job, but what about a match barrel or tightening the slide to frame fit?
