I did just that after fiddling with 3 1911s for many years. Two were Colts. They're safe queens now....the P220 gets used because it works...every time.

They all are very reliable. They are this way because I change the slide spring to a heavier one.
Wilson combat is the ones I use and this lets them eat everything.I buy the one piece kit and springs that runs about $42.oo from midway now.
