    You can. It will just cost you. Ask me how I know.
    AllenM's current project thread is my SA. It is a work in progress and will cost me more than the new SA Loaded lists in the link to get the work I want done to it.
    But I am sick.

    Here's a great deal on a great starter 1911:

    $650 for a parkerized SA Loaded is a very nice deal.

    Yep. What Harry said.

    Got the springfield it's in great shape doesn't look like it's had a hundred rounds through it he even had 3 kim pro mags for a little extra the only thing I don't like about it is it's got blacked out sights but the rear is adjustable so probably just change out the front and it's good to go

    Use some brite paint on the front site until you figure out what you really want. Fishing lure paint has some God awful colors that should do nicely.
