Springy's are hard to beat. I have drooled over the milspec springfields quite a few times myself. As for magazines by all means buy good ones. The Best IMHO are the Wilson Combat #47D 8 rounders. They are expensive but worth every penny.

Midway USA currently has them on sale for $27+.

I agree with ammo. I stick with ball, or good HPs in the 230 gr weight to keep down any problems that might ever creep up about feeding (My Thompson likes the 230gr Golden Sabers, but mostly I shoot ball ammo which it loves) Shoot about 500 rounds through it to "break it in" good before you go depending on it too much. After that it should be smooth sailing for awhile. Be warned 1911s have a quirk where you usually have to replace a sping every 50000 to 75000 rounds. Also keep a good stiff grip on it or you will stovepipe the heck outa brass until you break it in. For gun oil on a 1911 3-in-1 household oil works well. My pakerizin on mine doesn't seem to like rem oil much. For some reason it just seems to dissapear a few hundred rounds in. The 3-in-1 works better.

Congrats again.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
