I couldn’t resist either!
I got the 1911A1 Service. Flat mainspring housing, but short trigger. I replaced the MSH with a Pachmayer rubber insert Arch MSH.
Only complaint is that it shot about 8” high at 25yds. I filed the rear sight (and drifted it to the right about 0.005”) and deepened the rear notch with a 3-side safe square needle file. I then touch up blued the rear sight. It hits about 1.5-2” high, dead center now.
Trigger has just a tad of take up, and a small but perceptible creep . Probably a 4.5-5lb pull.
VERY shootable! 250rds of 230gr PC cast RN and TC as well as 200rds of 200gr SWC. A couple of 200 SWC has needed a little “help” chambering. Usually just a slap on the bottom of the mag.
I bought a replica WWII flap holster so it doesn’t get dumped on the ground while pig hunting ALA Rudyard Kipling in “RIKI TIKI TAVI”. My 7th grade English teacher assigned me that for a book report. I resented it until I started reading it. Then couldn’t put it down!
I came to really like that teacher!
