I'm talkin slide stop, thumb safety, hammer/sear/disconnect, etc....
I started out with Chip McCormick parts, but soon discovered they aren't much better than the parts used in most factory guns. They just look good.
I've found that Ed Brown and Wilson Combat parts are by far supreme. Each manufacturers premium line(EB-hardcore, WC-bulletproof)is guaranteed for life, can't beat that.
So since I feel the need to replace the internals of my 1911s with premium tool steel parts, these are what I use. Is it necessary, maybe-maybe not.
I also consider myself a junior gunsmith and like the experience of hand-fitting and blending parts.
