Well here are a couple of my 1911's, at least the three that I own that aren't the way they left the factory. The stainless SA 1911 was worked over by Don Williams as my primary duty weapon, I think the only SA stuff left on it is the frame, slide and barrel. Been a great pistol with no failures in 3500+ rounds.
The second is a Colt Officers model that was worked over by Ray Harms, I won the pistol on a $100.00 raffle, best benjamin I ever spent. A list of the work is below.
Frame to slide fit, High cut front strap,Serrated front strap,Trigger guard lines all recut and straightened,Hand bevel magwell,Serrated MSH fitted,Ed Brown thumb safety - narrowed,Wilson beavertail,Med. Yo-Bo Trigger,Yo-Bo Action components and 4lb. trigger,Wilson Match barrel and bushing,Flutes on Barrel
Barstock plunger tube,Wilson FP & FP stop,Ed Brown pin set,Wolf spring set
Ed Brown recoil system,Wilson extended ejector,Wilson BP extractor,Blend rear of slide/frame,Complete reliability tune,Flare ejection port,Flat top and serrate,French Borders,Heinie rear sight (wrapped and notch opened)
Gold line front sight,Ed Brown slide stop - with added serrations
Dehorn,All lines trued and all tool marks removed,Slide flats polished to 320
Shortened grip bushings & screws (registered). Since winning the pistol I sent it back to Ray to have the rear of the slide serrated and reblued. Great pistol. The third is a Colt NRM Commander that I sent to Colt for warranty work and had them do their "O" package and Gold Cup serrations on it while it was there. Great work at a great price, not a custom but the work did help the shootability of the pistol.

Very, very nice. Dave

Good looking bunch. They should serve you well.

Could you post some more info/pics of the Commander? How is the fit and finish of the work? Colt's model O package seems like a great value for what you get.

The commander basically was a NRM Commander that had warranty issues, while it was at Colt I heard about the "O" package. I called and talked to Colt and decided to have the "O" package, trigger job and Gold Cup Serrations done to it while it was there. The fit and finish is great. The "O" package consist of dehorning the pistol(done well), S&A grip safety and Novak sights with dovetails cut. While talking to them they offered a Ed Brown extended thumb safety which I opted out of. Would I do it again? Yes . But then I believe this is what Colt should be offering instead of the XSE. Anyway here are a few more poor quality pictures of the Commander.

Thanks for the info and pics... it looks great. I agree, that is what the XSE should be.
