Try not to fall into the common trap of wanting to replace everything on your new 1911 just to make it "better". Know what you're changing out, and why. You may spend a lot of money fixing things that weren't broken to begin with. Shoot it for at least 500 rounds, then decide what you don't like and want improved. Vintage 1911's should NEVER be refinished or modified because it ruins any value they had as a collectible firearm.

Really, man. You have to step things up.
What kind of a collector are you? Straight to 1940 and nothing from 1939? Kidding again. Lots of fun gawking at your treasures. Thanks! Edited to add: And, hey, how about 1938? You missed 1938! (Alright, enough from me.) Last edited by Jake Card; 05-01-2012 at 07:45 PM.

Here is one that belonged to an associate of my fathers... At one time I owned Colt Super .38 #533 and Colt Government Model #C533 at ther same time, however I sold the pair years ago
   Here are both of Ranger's Rohatsch's Colts. He is the one with the red dot above his head. During WW II he worked with my father on bank robberies and espionage cases in South Texas. He and my father captured a German spy in Corpus Christi, Texas during the war, much to the chagrin of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI!!!

A lot of lawmen had Super 38s back in the day. Not only because the Super 38 had great ballistics performance, but the lawmen had a steady income during the Great Depression to afford such an expensive pistol.
