Just wanting some input on this. I have a Commander from the mid 70's. My father bought it used from an army buddy. The gun shoots accurately enough, but the sights are the original style. The slide has some slop in it. The trigger isn't anywhere close to what I would consider "crisp". So I am considering a tune-up so to speak. Obvioulsy, a gun smith would be in order for this work. I am guessing I would be looking around 350.00-500.00 for parts and labor. I would like to have Trijicon sights put in it. The longer style skeletonized trigger and a skeltonized hammer. Plus trigger job with new springs and pins. Just curious for thoughts on this. Should I leave it alone and put the money towards a new 1911 and leave the old colt be?
PS - I have recently purchased a Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob and love it. I thought I could make the old colt shoot a litle more like the DW.
