Magwell yes, trigger job maybe, otherwise just shoot them. 

 

I'd start here, and then tune to taste as you gain experience with it. 

 

For me, I started with a "stock" SA loaded target (adjustable sights). Here was my rough progression:

 

Wilson Combat MSH/Magwell

Dawson F/O front sight

Non-skid stick on grip tape on front strap

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. Then shoot some more.

Harrison True Radius sear/hammer/disconnector

Harrison TS (removed ambi) - shelf is lower, easier on old thumbs, goos position for grip

Harrison slide slop - better shape, easier to manipulate

Harrison square-ish FPS

Cylinder and Slide 3.5# sear spring.

10-8 Flat trigger

 

I run 12# recoil spring, 20# MS. 3.25# clean trigger break.

Pin the grip safety.  Find a tool/method to clean your mags.  I use a brass squib rob and a micro fiber towel.  The micro fiber is flexible enough to go in and out easily.  Cleaning mags is pain in single stack!!

AHhh I've been needing to do that.  Thanks for the reminder!
