Okay guys, my supply of GLOCK juice has temporarily run out. I am currently sipping on the 1911 tea. I somehow got bitten by the bug a few weeks ago and have decided that my next purchase will be a 1911. Now which model to start with? I know that I want a government model. I want something that I can tinker with and that will accept most 1911 custom parts. I ALLLLMOST bought a S&W full size but I figured since the extractor is exclusive to the Smith model, that maybe the internals aren't normal 1911 parts. If the extractor was the only difference from a normal 1911, I would probably pick it up. Again, I'm a total noob when it comes to these guns. Any help would be AWESOME. Thanks!
Here is my old Para broken down for a good cleaning:
