Looking good Jim...
My first 1911
2
Bunch of my friends get together at my range every year to shoot, for a few days.
This year they surprised me with a gift.
I only owned one ,15 yrs ago, and I need some input ,on what the heck accessories, such as better sights, grips, or anything I can do to it.
I want to jazz it up. Suggestions ?
First shot ,with no cleaning or sight adjustments, was dead center bullseye, and next 5 shots were touching, at about 25 yds.
Now ask me if I love this thing.

Looks great Jim ! Congratulations
You can't do much better for a great 1911 straight out of the box!! The only thing I had to do was put a colored sight on it! The Black on Black sights with my old eyes I couldn't pick them up at all. Other than that YOU WILL LOVE that gun. What an awesome shooter it is and so smooth and accurate you just won't want to quit shooting it!! WELL DONE MR. JIM!!! Oh...I put some VZ grips on mine, I just like the ALL Black look...my palms are real sweaty too and the G10 is ULTRA grippy so it works great for me!
The sights are Harrisons

Thanks guys,
Im not up on 1911s , but I got a feeling, I will be.
It does have the "NM" prefix. I am assuming thats a good thing.
Will the Wilson Combat 8 rnd mags fit right in the stock magwell?
What fiberoptic front sights work best, on the 1911.
Ive used many different brands on other guns.
HiViz, Williams,..etc.
The black on black is harder to pickup for me, although with them ,It scared me with how accurate it is.

I had a stainless version of that model and really loved it. Too bad I had to sell it to pay billsBunch of my friends get together at my range every year to shoot, for a few days.

. Someday I'd like to buy it back.
The Wilson mags will fit the stock gun and there are no better mags for reliability. Go to Dawson or Brownell's to get a sight. The larger fiber-optics are easy to see. My friend Fred just got one put on his Range Officer and loves it. You may want a gunsmith to do the sights though. It's very accurate and will stay that way for a very long time.Thanks guys,
