If you want a gun to hang on the wall then mim parts will work but if you want to shoot more than 1000 rounds a year than you need a better setup. My opion is that you should not get a 1911 if you can not afford to make it right. If you san not make it right then get a glock or something that will go bang when you pull the trigger. I have no choice in what i carry, I love the 1911 but the realabilty with the mim parts is sub par to say the least.
