Legal gun for traditional class

[pill roller]

I just purchased a Springfield 1911 Mil spec model.  it has fixed sights a little taller than standard and 2 white dots on the rear sight and one on the front.  Would this gun be acceptable for traditional class.

Thanks

Not with the painted dots.

Traditional 1911 modifications are listed on pages 6 & 7 of the Shooters Handbook.

Just put black finger nail polish over the white dots and you are good to go.

A great gun for Traditional.  Make the sights one color - paint, sharpie, nail polish, etc. 

 

A bevel on the bottom edge of the magazine well will help a lot with quick reloads.

 

good luck, GJ

GJ do you have a pic of this?  Not sure what you mean or how much.

Thanks

Here's an easily found YT video on how to do the bevel and what a nicely finished one looks like. 

This is legal for Traditional or Modern Wild Bunch guns.  A mag well extension added to the frame is not.  Per this rule found in the modifications for Traditional or Modern pistols:

Magazine wells may be beveled, but may not be oversized, extended or flared.

good luck, GJ
