I have a 1991A1 that I bought back in 1996.
I had Bob Miller of "Action Sports of Texas" put the usual Ed Brown beaver tail, EB Ambi safety, EB 20 LPI MSH, Vedeki trigger with STI sear and hammer (4 lbs crisp pull), Novak low mount sights, one piece FLGR, and a very nice stippled front strap.
I kept the pistol's slide to frame, barrel and bushing stock. I didn't want to lose the drop in the mud reliability of the John M. Browning tolorances.
The pistol is a pure carry gun. If I had Bob fit a match barrel to the slide and a match bushing, would I lose the dust and dirt reliability of the original Browning specs.
My view of a carry gun is a gun that would go thru the same stuff that I went thru in my 6 years in the 82nd, example: Grunge, dirt, sand, and sub zero weather.
P.S. Yes I want a SHTF pistol as is my army upbringing. I know a tight slide to frame fit can be a hazard for the parameters I just described, but does a nice barrel and bushing cause a loss to that?
