Let me preface this post by apologizing if this topic is a re-tread.
I have a box stock ORM 1991 Commander and would like some ideas as to what you would consider the essential (or desirable) upgrades to the pistol? I've had this commander for about 5 years now and it's been 100% reliable but, it's about time to have it refinished and I figured I might as well get some other work done at the same time.
I'm going to have it refinished and night sights installed. Also, being a south paw an ambi safety is something I really want to have installed.
Any particular ambi safety you prefer?
I'd like to switch the trigger out and also get a trigger job done. Any suggestions as to which replacement trigger, and the ideal trigger pull weight for CCW? I was thinking around 4lbs.
If you were going to switch out the hammer to one that is a little easier (grip wise) to cock... Which would you choose?
Is it worthwhile to switch out the MSH?
I haven't had any reliability issues... What other advantages to having the ejection port lowered? Ramp throated and polished?
How feasible is it to remove ugly (ORM Colt) roll marks from the slide?
What would you change if this was your commander?
Any suggestions on 1911 smiths? I'm not necessarily looking for the world renowned smiths... But those who do good work at a reasonable rate.
Thanks so much for your time... It's greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
