Because .38 Super was introduced in 1929, the guns were always 1911A1 pattern. Scalloped frame, arched mainspring housing and short trigger.
My gun has the scallops, but it's presently stylish to put the long trigger and flat mainspring housings on them. Which makes the gun feel wrong in my hand.
So I fixed it! I had it in my head that this was going to be hard. Not even a little bit difficult, even lining up the series 80 linkage was a non-event.
Obviously, I've corrected the "problem" by changing some parts around.
I'm kind of bemused at myself here. Purist enough to want it fully in an A1 configuration; but leaving the better, taller sights and not having any sort of kittens about theplastic polymer mainspring housings. Even the series 80 part doesn't bother me.
