I shot a match in Modern a few days ago with my Sig 1911, but it's not legal with it's tritium/fiber optic sights. It's also a custom engraved one from my Iraq deployment so I don't particularly want to use and abuse it too much or bother with swapping out sights.
I plan to stay Modern, I shoot "one handed" in CAS (Gunfighter). I'll stick to 2 handed for my semi-autos.
The used gun was the same standard Ruger 1911. Sorry I missed a few words on that sentence.
I read a few threads about 1911's on here but most are asking about the Traditional category and the one or 2 Modern ones I found seemed to be saying Ruger, though they didn't go into details.
What are modern upgrades you'd suggest I look for? I read through the handbook but it mostly tells you what you can't have rather than what you can have. I'm not real familiar with 1911's and had to Google some terms like a dust cover. When I think of a dust cover I picture something that covers the ejection port and not the recoil spring/rod.
Thanks for any help!
