I need some assistance with identifying the correct parts for my Colt 1911a1 1937 Commercial .45.
At some point in time a previous owner changed the factory trigger, sights, grips and mainspring housing.
I am attempting to locate correct original parts.
At this point I need to know what to replace these parts with.
I think the trigger should be milled and short with a checkered pad.
I think the front sight should be of a rounded side profile and the frontal profile should be parallel sides (not tapered top to bottom).
I think the rear sight should be of the square profile with a U notch.
I think the mainspring housing is to be checkered with a total of 26 lines.
I think the grips are to be fully checkered walnut.
If anyone can verify this information I would appreciate it greatly. I have read here and there about all of these parts and have had some conflicting reports. I am hoping from your responses that I can finally put to rest the search for identifying the correct parts.
Thank you for your help.
