Default Dream 1911?

what would be yours, Im thinking next year of ordering this built on my 21st from springer's custom shop:

5'' 1911
NM rame with fitted slide
match barrel and bushing
polished feed ramp and fully throated barrel
beavertail grip safety
4.5 pound speed trigger, long aluminum 3 hole
25 lpi front strap checkering
flat mainspring housing
Fixed 3 dot tritium night sights, yellow rear green front
lowered and flared ejection port
Smith and Alexander Magwell
Cocobollo wood grips
Extended single side thumb safety
extended slde release and magazine release
tuned for reliability (defensive gun)
Black T finish, except hammer, trigger, barrel/bushing
carry bevel
match hammer and sear
no front cocking serrations, rear only.

Ive seen their work, its amazing, not overly expensive and carries a lifetime warranty with good service. Whats your dream 1911?

I might add something you can get realistically, before anyone comes in saying " a mint condition singer."

Castor Troy's Springfield in Face/Off, but in matte hard chrome (brushed hard chrome would be okay too) no front slide serrations. Other than that no changes.

My Springfield Loaded has a lot of what I like. But I don't really care for the front slide serrations. The safety needs to be beveled bad, it's squared off and gets uncomfortable after a while.

I write up a list like you got k9870 later.

How cool would it be to have a selector switch with a 2 round burst.

earlier i saw:

saw a colt mk 4 commander 2 tone, with arched backstrap and short trigger. But in front of that short trigger, was another trigger, like the standard trigger you find on a sig/beretta/cz or such. So it had two triggers, one of them one that does not belong on a 1911 type auto. Im wondering why anyone would do this, and how it would work on a 1911 anyway?

Almost puked, wtf is this thing, wish i had my camera.

Took your list and modified it.

Pre-series 70 (Post War) Colt Government Model
Tightened slide to frame
Bar-Sto barrel (a semi-drop would be fine for me)
polished feed ramp and fully throated barrel
4 pound trigger, med. solid
30 lpi front strap checkering
flat mainspring housing
Heine SlantPro Straight Eight sights
lowered and flared ejection port
Checkered Buffalo Horn grips
factory thumb safety
factory slide release, same with mag release
tuned for reliability (defensive gun)
Blued finish, matte rounds, except for trigger and hammer
carry bevel
match hammer and sear
beavertail grip safety (I could either way with them) I don't get hammer bite with the standard grip safety but a higher hold is always better.

One of those would be nice, but ivory grips. I don't plan on living in New Orleans.
