Default From a Rock to a Diamond!

I'm in the fun but exhausting process of upgrading my RIA Tactical .45 Hi-Cap (1911A2-FS).

There are a few differences/similarities between the A1 and A2 styles. The A2 uses the Trigger, Mags, and Sear Spring of the Para P14. Then there's the A2's Mainspring, which can swapped for either a P14 or an A1 Mainspring. To make things more interesting, some A2 parts are only compatible with the A1 frame..such as the Barrel, Sear/Discon./Hammer, and the Barrel Bushing. :what:

Gotta love a Hi-Cap! ..With all that in mind, I'd like to hear what yall have done to turn your Rocks into diamonds!! Within the terms of the Warranty of course!

(*Photoshopped this pic to show what my Rock will look like once fitted with my new VZ P14 grips*)


Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe on the way (P14 style).. and tritium green front sight with orange rear tritium. But what I'm most interested in is regarding reliability and functionality. I want it to eat every hollow point under the sun..and run without a hiccup 24/7/365. Most mods like this can void the warranty, so I wanted to see what others have done to enhance their 1911 without losing that great warranty.

Any and all feedback is appreciated and will be rewarded with cookies
