Same experience for me with the Spartan: extended mag release, STI msh and Aftec extractor: none dropped right in. Since I don't know how to fit, this means a trip to the gunsmith everytime

I have the ETM; even with the small mag well installed, they still stick out, so no way they'll be flush with a mag well-less setup. As IceDevil said, most 9 rounders should be flush.

Nup, Trojan's frame is cast as well. You have to spend $300 more to get into STI forged frames territory (Lawman)

Hello to all. Reading around it seems a lots of people are running 9# or even 7# recoil springs on their 9mm 1911s. In my Spartan I'm using the stock 12# and it works fine with the 130pf ammo I'm using. I tried a 10# but it was sending empty brass into the next county. So, why the favor for lighter recoil springs? Recoil behavior? Lighter main springs for those 2# trigger jobs? Really curious...

Another vote for VZ Operators II with thumb cut. Use very fine sand paper if you want slightly less aggressive surface.
