Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have a couple of questions for y'all. I currently own a Wilson Protector SS. I love it! I acquired a Kimber Ultra Carry. I was dissatisfied with the overall slide to frame fit. It seem loose. I traded it in for a Springfield Ultra Compact. I am more pleased with this one. It feeds all ammo reliably and has a nice look. I just learned how to tear apart the entire gun (without any hard lessons!). I know what each part is, but I'm still trying to understand how they all function together. I would like to get to the point that I can do my own 1911 work.
My first question is: On a stock gun, what parts should I replace? I thought of the trigger, thumb safety, sear, and extractor.
Second, what exactly does a pistolsmith do when the do a "Trigger job".
Third, my biggest problem is that I own what I perceive as "the perfect handgun" for me. My Wilson is the nicest pistol I've ever owned. Nothing is as good in my eyes. When I go to compare, the SA has movement in the slide to frame fit and a loose grip safety. These are probably normal, but when compared to my Wilson, these look wrong.
Any comments would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
