I was already familiar with what Keith et al had written concerning the accuracy potential of some of the guns sporting similar mods. Always one to value accuracy over NIB condition, especially at the OTD price of $425 (maybe as late as 2010) I decided to risk the $$ to have a chance of experiencing what Elmer and others described. As with my pieced-together-by-the-late/great Joe Bonar, double-stack 1911, I've had nary a regret.

Different strokes, I guess.
