Hey 1911 folks,
I've been eyeing a "modern" 1911 for some time now, and a TRP (non-railed armory kote) popped up on my radar. And now of course, my lust is welling.
I've done some research (various websites and this forum) but I wanted to see if there are any specific insights any of you folks might have...
I know it has a full length guide rod that I may want to replace with a standard length one, and would like to employ 8-rounds mags - but that's about as far as I've gotten.
Any recommendations on 8-round mags? The usual suspects of Wilson or Chip McCormick?
Anything else you would consider replacing sooner then later? Any cheap parts that are prone to failure?
Any smithing work that should be considered? I've read multiple posts suggesting a trigger job...
Just trying to get my head around what I may be getting my self into...
Thx!
