I've bought a crappy Colt WWII Commemorative European Theater 1911 that appeared to be unshot from Gym Ratz sans case and dummy bullets a few years ago and just got around to shooting it recently.
It's my only 1911 so I installed a Nighthawk drop in trigger in and now holy guacamole the trigger pull is very smooth, light and crisp. Also installed a Wilson drop in beaver tail (took some minor fitting but nothing ridiculous) and Pearce rubber finger groove insert then did some laser dry fire last night. It now feels great in the hand and I could actually hit what I was aiming at sometimes.
Next up is to improve the sights, replace the grips and getting it refinished because it has some pitting and then continuing to shoot it
Before and how it sits now. .
