Small 1911 funsmithing project. What's yours?

Years ago my wife bought this Sig 1911 C3 and it has by in large been a fantastic pistol.     As silly as it may be, It's always bothered me that it has a solid trigger and a skeletonized hammer.     

I was into it the other day giving it a good cleaning and I was like what the hell.  Lets make our own old school 3 hole skeletonized trigger using the factory parts.    Little layout, several drill bits, break the edges and it came out great.    Time to get this old girl back out to the range and knock some steel down with it.    

 

For those of you that like to build and tinker on stuff what projects have you guys been working?

Bought this one for the wife.  Why?  Because she’s a grown ass woman and knows what she likes/ needs/ wants. That’s why!!! 

She hated it.  So it became MINE.  She decided that my Kimber 1911 and my Glock 26 would now be hers. 

Anyway, I had issues with the hammer snagging on my clothes.  I bought a hammer from another model, that was recommended by a friend, and modded it to my liking.  That way the original hammer is in its original condition.

Nice job!

Here's another project for any owner of one of the newer Smith and Wessons. Get rid of the lock!

Thank you. I didn’t know that existed. It will be done. 

And the guy making the plugs is a freaking Marine. I can't not get it.
