I have had the same good experience with my Mil-Spec. It is a fine gun for a decent price. Only addition I made was a 20lb. mainspring and new mainspring cap to replace the "intigrated locking system" cap in the SA mainspring housing. Reduced trigger pull significantly. Also added some classy wood grips to replace the black plastic. Looks and shoots great.

IMHO, this is the way a 1911 should look. Military and manly.

Good luck, and good shooting.
