I believe that slide has been destroyed
Yeah! I going to do all my 1911's like that. Should help the resale value too!
OK I've been patient....
WHY THE HECK DID YOU RUIN THAT FIREARM? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? JOHN BROWNING JUST TURNED OVER IN HIS GRAVE. IF THE NEXT ONE SHOOTS HIGH, JUST RAISE THE TARGET UP. DO YOUR FIREARM A FAVOR, BUY A BOOK ON IT BEFORE YOU START 'SMITHING. YOU COULD ALWAYS TRY CALLING RIA (775-537-1444) AND TELLING THEM WHAT YOU DID, THEY MAY LAUGH SO HARD THEY SEND YOU A FREE SLIDE.
If you have a reasonable explanation as to why you did this then I apologize and retract the above comments.

Frankly this looks like a "Bubba" fix to an improperly installed aftermarket barrel. There is absolutely no way I would ever consider doing this to any firearm, let alone a 1911. I sure as hell wouldn't trust a gun that came into my shop looking like that.

I would not even think of firing that weapon after that bubbajob ! ;[Didn't really care about resell value. I got this one for $425 with the Jarvis barrel and a trigger job with a new hammer and sear. I'm going to upgrade sights now and put in a trigger with an overtravel screw. Maybe I'll stop there. It depends on how the gun shoots.
ALL THESE ^^^^^^^
And the griffin armament logo ....lol
