I am toying of building a 1911 from parts. I am not a gunsmith by any means so I want to stick to drop in ready parts. I am thinking either a 4" commander or 3.5" officers. I have searched all the major manufactures of frames and have found Government and Commander size but no officers. Would I be wrong to assume that the officers model is an officers slide on a commander frame?
I would like duo tone either a stainless frame and a parkerized slide or vice- versa, a skeletonized hammer and trigger, ambi safety, novak style sites, and Hogue grips as I have huge hands. I am still up in the air about the type of guide rod setup I want I have read some recent articles that say they aren't necessary. Feedback and good links with pics would be greatly appreciated.
