If it is functional I say don't mess with the guts of it at all. I wasn't really tempted to add anything to my Kimber Stainless Target except some rosewood grips from Kimber (which were nice, but not perfect). Since my Delta Elite was fairly bare-bones, I'm having a gunsmith add:
o Wilson Combat match trigger (replaces original plastic unit :barf: )
o Wilson Combat extended tactical thumb safety (because I find it hard to manipulate the stock item, and their "tactical" version isn't too wide)
o Novak night sights (the night sights the gun came with are ugly, the sight picture is mediocre & the tritium is starting to crap out)
o Eagle Grips ebony double-diamond checkered grips with Wilson Combat hex-head grip screws (stock grips were butt-ugly, damaged on top of that, and the original grip screws were ugly and scratched up, too)... and I'm having the Delta Elite medallions fitted to the stock grips because, well, it will look cool.
It is also getting a complete reliability job so it will feed Winchester 175gr STHPs, but again if your gun feeds your carry ammo 100% don't mess with it internally. Checkering, stippling or scalloping the frontstrap is good if yours is slick; my Kimber's was but my Delta Elite's isn't so I'm leaving it alone. I like the feel of the stock semi-beavertail grip so I'm keeping it, too.
Add what you want, change what you don't like, and keep what's already good for you and you'll be on a happy road.
