I need 1911 help!

Why buy the GI model if you're going to end up changing the sights, lowering the ejection port, and changing other items. Unless you just want to do it as a project.

Good point. might be fun though right? I just like the straight GI look a lot. But those low sights are a major turn off.[/QUOTE]

They were a turnoff for our GI's in WWII also....the sights that is. They loved the gun...hated the sights.

I have a SA Milspec that I bought from another leo who lives in Mo. He and I are both on xdtalk.com. I've had the gun for 2yrs. and it is fantastic!.

He replaced the plastic pins with GI metal ones and ended up with a new barrel from SA since the original one was defective. When he first shot it, he saw a bulge in the barrel. SA didn't give him just a OEM replacement; they gave him a TRP SS barrel.

It is a much better shooter than I am. It has a lower ejection port than the GI model also and is parkerized.
