Sir;
The barrel fit on a 1911 needs to be, when in battery, supported by the bottom lugs on the slide stop pin and locked into the upper lugs with no down movement.
Much improvement can be effected by fitting a new front bushing but the real help would be to fit a new Kart or Bar-Sto barrel and a new bushing. Slide to frame fit doesn't do alot for accuracy but we all want that tight also.
A good trigger pull is nice too - about 4#.
But safety is paramount in operation!
Have fun.
