I seem to recall the 1911 thing, Doc. My offer to lend you my Ed Brown sear jig is still good!

Ok, the dormant brain cells are stirring a little now...I remember...
That Colt has been broken in now. Let's see if I can remember everything...I opened the ejection port, reshaped the ejector face (per Sam's instructions), polished the throat, replaced the barrel, bushing, mainspring, recoil spring, sights, mag release, extractor, grips, and mags. And I discovered that COLT branded mags work flawlessly in it (they are actually Checkmates). And after fiddling with it for two years, I finally got it to the point where I could make it through an entire IDPA match without a jam. Of course I only used it in one match, just to see if I could.
It still wants to pop me in the forehead every once in a while with an empty, but other than that it's running pretty good.
