Looks good frontsight! With the increased slide velocity, are you guys running Wolff +10% mag springs? I'd also suggest an EGW square firing pin stop. That's one part that makes a noticeable difference and might allow you to decrease your recoil spring by several lbs. By engaging the hammer at a lower point, it slows the slide before the recoil spring even comes into play. The only downside is that cocking the hammer by racking the slide becomes more difficult. If you ever install this part in any of your 1911's, you'll never want to take it back out.
