I'm pretty sure I got a good deal here. $450 for this .45 Officers in stainless. Good & tight, no scratches, etc. It has Houge grips and I,m pretty sure a different trigger. The trigger has an Allen head screw(Adjustable?)and 3 holes in it. I think it's alluminum. I think it has had some other work done but I can't be sure. Tried to find a NIB one for comparison with no luck, and the dealer would not tell me who previous owner was.(understandable) I think I remember reading somewhere that these guns had a 2-piece guide rod. Mine has a 1-piece. The recoil spring seems stiffer in comparison to my full size 1911. This one has a shock-buff and I know for sure that Colt didn't install that! I put 500 rnds. through it without any trouble, and it shoots TPI with 230gr HDs.
I guess my question is: What are the most common mods done to this gun and also for what were they done for? Did I here somewhere about them being prone to wear or breakage due to the design of them?
Thanks for any and all help.
