It's a Series 80 with a plastic trigger and mainspring housing. But it was in the family since it was new in 1992. I sold it, then traded to get it back as a back up gun to my latest match pistol.
I'm thinking I'll put a beavertail grip safety with palm swell on it because the Government grip safety gets tangled up in my hand on reloads. Then an extended thumb safety. And a Smith and Alexander ribbed mainspring housing with mag guide. And probably notched grip panels.
Maybe put in a stainless steel replacement trigger, and depending on the trigger pull maybe the TJ's "Series 80 to Series 70 conversion shim" to get some excess pieces and parts out of the way to improve the trigger. I will probably avoid that if I can if for no other reason than the debate it will cause here.
Discuss.
