I received lots of advise from experienced Fire members some time ago. Wife gave me a Remington 1911 R1 as a birthday present. Trigger is much better than I expected & fit & finish seem acceptable. The sights are much better than when I carried a 1911 in my Army days. All of todays 1911's seem superior to what I shot in the 60's & 70's serving as a scout in Vietnam. But then it was so long ago memories fade. I don't plan to start replacing parts, but are their critical modifications I need to consider?
