OK first a little background, I am a glock/sig/xd owner and would like to move over to a 1911. I cant afford a full house custom job but I do want a custom. I am planing on a full size caspian frame/slide (race ready frame with the "tactical" mag well), kart barrel, novak sights, no ambi safety, etc. I want to go with caspians standard 20lpi checkering, a round top slide with no serations. Basically I want to get the best parts that I can with no frills, and parkerize the whole dang thing. Now I know better than to ask who the best smith is that will do this kind of work, and I would love to send it to Ted Yost or Jason Burton but I simply cant afford their level of perfection. What I need to know is some 1911 smiths who will work with me on what I want and make it a bullet proof, go bang every time, great trigger, 1911. So if any one has suggestions on who to go to for a bulletproof, no frills, 1911 please let me know. Thanks!
ETA - This pistol will also get a dawson rail, an extra fitted extractor(maybe 2?), and 10 tripp or wilson mags. Is there any other replacement parts that would require fitting that would be good to have on hand? I am hoping to keep this pistol under 2500, I dont know if thats realistic but I am a very firm believer in putting most of my money in ammunition and cleaning supplies so I can be absolutly certain that A - the gun functions flawlessly and B - I can hit the broadside of a barndoor .
