People that start swapping links without understanding how a 1911 works are about to have a problem. You'll most likely either make it less accurate or throw the timing off to where it starts having feed problems and battering the lugs. Leave it alone. If you need more accuracy buy a match grade bbl. and have it fitted by someone who knows what they're doing. Trust me on this. If you really want to get into tweaking the 1911 buy the Kuhnhausen Vol 1 manual. More than you ever wanted to know. There are no drop in accuracy enhancing parts. (Unless you get REALLY lucky)
