Otherwise, it runs fine, has only about 100 rounds in it, feels solid, and only has one tiny scratch on the frame

Slide bite from a 1911? Are you the hulk? Just never shoot a ppk if thats the case. I'll agree though, gi sights suck. My vision is awesome at 20/15 but the sights are tiny, and i shoot pistols 2 eyes open.

Whoops, I meant hammerbite. Actually, it is really more of a combination of hammerbite and the grip safety digging into my hand

Ah that makes sense, i like commander/ring hammers a lot better and beavertail grip safeties.

Midway and DSA still don't have any 20 round FAL mags in stock? It's been 2 goddamn months!

Unless you don't like 1911's. I would upgrade the hammer and grip safety as K9870 said. While drop-in beavertails don't look all that great, it'll take care of your hammer bite. Shortening the spur hammer would be the quickest and cheapest method though.

Here's a good article on the HS 1911's. Not sure how old it is.

I'd rather just sell it. I already have all the .45 I need at the moment

It'd be neat to go over to the Briley shop and have them trick it out a bit

Accompanied a buddy to the gun shop the other day. I saw that Stoeger Cougers were slightly north of $400 new. Anyone have any experience with them?

You have berated the everloving hell out of that gun for being unreliable and you've only fired 100 rounds out of it, and it has only hand problems with hollowpoints? Words can't express how silly that is...

Oh and also, a Stoeger Cougar should be under 400 bucks new, I see them for less all the time. I have no experience with them other than handling them at gun stores, though I'm sure they handle fine. I'd save up a little more for something better though.
