A few little extras on the Spingfield 1911 (Pics)

So I had a little extra money around from the tax return so I felt my Springfield Armory Lightweight Champion Operator need a little love. It's not a ton of stuff but it's always nice putting some new parts on.

Looks good!

Are you gonna blend the corners of the frame into the magwell, or do the mags insert fairly smoothly as is?

Good looking Springfield ya got there. I really want one of these. Can you give me some details about it's handling with the light frame in relation to felt recoil, accuracy, and general details?

You have excellent taste in weaponry.

well I stoped having the light on the springfield. The light has just a little play in it and it began to drive me nuts so i took it off. I later called surefire and found out that with the 4 inch frame the light can"t fit on right so there will always be play in it. So if you do get a springfield get the full size if you want to run with a light on it.

how about the handling of the piece in regards to felt recoil. I know it is a very light frame. have you found the recoil to be very manageable or have you noticed excessive muzzle flip. Also would you consider the guns accuracy to be very good?
