I have a somewhat custom 1911 that has the look of an older Combat Elite. It had anyway. Due to Katrina flooding, the slide is badly pitted and the sights are all messed up. I don't mind the pitted slide, because it still shoots like a dream. My problem is that the slide was milled for the very old style Wichita sights and I can't find another to replace them.
I was going to see about getting a new slide built, but ran across Rock Island Armory 1911's. Considering the price of a complete RIA 1911, I was considering just getting one and putting the slide on my Colt frame.
What do you guys think?
