POI is way high as the sights are regulated for 230 grain .45. I'm not concerned about that as I plan on getting different sights for it, my Colt, and my GSG, just haven't decided on what yet. That said, bury the front sight a little and it's spot on at the moment.
I constantly engaged extended slide releases on 1911's, so since it was going back for failures to extract I asked them to put in a standard profile slide stop. The below work was done under warranty - and geebus this thing is smoooooooth (before it was smooth).
1. New low-profile slide stop installed (50.00)
2. Chamber was reamed and honed
3. Feed ramp was deburred/polished
4. Extractor was replaced
5. #2 barrel link was installed
6. Thumb safety was dehorned and re-finished
7. Magazine catch was clearance cut
8. Fire-control polished
9. Grip safety deburred
10. Trigger tuned to 1 ¾# X 3 ½#
11. Trigger over-travel screw adjusted
Worked some pairs at speed from the holster at about 10 yards. I think it's ready to be my new match gun; just waiting on some Dawson fibers.
That is an all business set up that clearly seems to be working well for you.

I am trying to determine who built this pistol. The only clues are the quality of the word and a capital "B" stamped into the extractor so it is visible when the hammer is cocked. The base pistol is a NM-prefix Springfield Armory, the barrel and bushing are Kart, and the magwell has been welded to the frame. This is one heck of a "fighting 1911".
That is really, really nice!

I look at the gun and I wonder if it was a smith's personal weapon. Clearly set up for function. "Mismatched" parts in terms of color/metal but otherwise well put together.
It was almost as if he/she had a few quality parts lying around so they decided to put together a serious, no frills, bet your life kind of blaster.
I am not a true 1911 guru by any means but the weld on mag well strikes me as a "proof of concept" job as opposed to a customer job. The vertical "touch" points for thumb and trigger finger on the frame are certainly unique. A signature move by the smith perhaps?
How does it shoot?
That pistol has soul!
