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.

When you mean "Dream 1911" I assume you mean the most expensive piece of hardware and to me, it has to be engraved, extended slide release, compensator, extended mag, front cocking serrations and adjustable sights.

I will never buy a colt, overrtaed company that your paying for the name, and they lack features. Most have a small safety, basic sights and no checkering. Smith and wesson has a lot of scandium commander, i want all steel, and with nightsights, good checkering, tuned trigger, smith triggers are genrally a bit heavier and there checkering real light and no tritium.

Les baer puts together some good commanders.
