As to you questions, I recently bought the SA 1911 used from a gun dealer and am not sure exactly what bushing it has. I added the wood grips, which I think complement the chrome/black chrome metal. It has had the trigger reworked and it is light and precise -- nice for target work, but a little scary for the concealed carry/ home defense use for which it was purchased. Of course, it is a kind of big for concealed carry and I am contemplating a Kimber Ultra-Carry or perhaps a double-action semi-auto for this use. I have only target shot it at about 25 yards and it is pretty much a tack-driver at that distance. Of course for self-defense use, you only need to hit body mass and the big .45 ACP round does the rest. To stay on topic, I like to bring my cameras to the range; occasionally catching shots of wildlife or flying brass and smoke. The Leica M excels at this with its quick shutter response.
