Looking to replace the stock sights on my RI 1911-A1-FS any suggestions? This is a staked front sight, GI dovetail rear, not cut for Novak or adjustable rear sight. Is the front sight staking removal and install something a layperson could do with the right tools? Also thinking about better trigger (less take up), beaver tail… where would you spend a little $ to improve this pistol? Bought on a tight budget, upgrades will be the same. Looking for most bang for the buck, please forgive the pun.

Thanks for any input.
