Hank Fleming in Austin.On the 1911's get a decent one, I have a 5" rock island and it's ok but very rough overall, trigger sucks and slide isn't dovetailed so stuck with g.i. sights until I can find a smith around that can cut the slide. None of the ones I have talked to near me want to touch it.
I had him dovetail my RIA slide, hard chrome it & install night sites. I changed the trigger.
Its one of my carry guns now.
