I had the same exact pistol and the first thing I did was a trigger job and change the MH spring. The trigger was terrible on mine; had to be 10 lbs. or more. Afterwards it was around 4-5lbs., much more shootable. I also installed a "drop-in" beavertail safety, combat hammer and extended thumb safety. There was some space between the rear horns of the frame and the safety but I was not trying to win trophies for looks so it was no big deal to me. After replacing all of the parts I was very pleased with the way it looked, felt in my hand and shot. The beavertail safety seemed to give the pistol a better feel between my thumb and trigger finger. Overall the cost of the parts was around $100 - $125, I swapped the parts myself as they required little to no fitting. I kept the factory parts for the future owner. I have heard changing the barrell bushing helps the accuracy of a 1911, I did not change that part however. If you choose to have a gunsmith do this work I would imagine the work to be under $500. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
P.S. -- Sold the SA a few months ago to buy my new Ruger SR1911. Great pistol out of the box.
