Having spent over 3 hours yesterday fitting a new firing pin stop and extractor (for the first time), I think the advice to start with a low-end 1911 and re-build everything a little at a time makes an awful lot of sense. You are going to screw some things up along the way. Better to do it on a gun you don't care too much about instead of trying to build your dream 1911 from the start.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV, etc.
