Hi all... Not having too much luck with google. I've just recently acquired an RIA officer's size (3.5") 1911. And I don't plan on modifying it much yet, however I do know these small 1911s are hard on their springs, and I very much take pride in maintaining guns myself when it's reasonable and safe to do so. I know I have to be careful about what size I purchase for grips, mainspring housing, and recoil springs. As for any of the other parts of the gun, do I need to hunt down something specifically for an officer's model? things like the extractor, firing pin spring, main spring, sear/safety spring, etc? or can I purchase standard parts for the government model?
This is primarily a fun range gun and NOT a regular carry piece for me, so while I would like reliability to be flawless, it isn't critical.
