Springfield Armory 1911-A1 new components

[L4D]

SO i recently upgraded my GI with a new hammer, grip safety and trigger.

everything went smoothly aside from sanding the trigger and grip safety for a perfect fit.

How can I refinish the grip safety so that the bare metal doesn't show? Is there a bluing kit available?



Although i've only dry fired it, I cant believe the improvement in trigger pull!!! with just a few parts.

yes you can cold blue it a gun shop will have the kit to do it have fun

actually the raw metal finish is kind of growing on me. It matches the sides of the hammer. Thinking about giving it a good polish with the dremel.

Can I leave it this way? Is there something I should apply to the metal to keep the look but also protect it?
