Springfield RO Elite Operator - 10-8 Duty Tune DVD Build

[vermilionbird]

I finally finished my 2nd 1911 build! I actually started this one before my "first" 1911 build but I did this one pretty slowly over the course of a year so it ended up finished second. I followed along Hilton Yam's Duty Tune DVD and both the video and Hilton himself were greatly helpful resources. Hope you all enjoy!

As a lefty I would ask for a ambi safety, but otherwise, BEAUTIFUL! How does she shoot?

Thank you all! I shot this one pretty regularly as I was throwing the parts on so it already has 2000 rounds through it and it shoots great.
