I get bored with the standard carry guns so I wanna blend carry with competition
Colt series 80
I just picked up this colt series 80 I know I am going to keep the comp and magwell, I am going to have an ambi saftey and different sights cut and fit. Any other ideas on what I should add for a carry/uspsa gun

Here are the doink marks referenced by @Rex.
Not my best photographic efforts but you can see the chewed up edge on the bottom "barbell". This came out of a Colt Government and was the result of repeated impact with the firing pin.

Here's the firing pin out of the same pistol. You can see the results of it impacting the plunger at about the 1 o'clock position.

Beautiful! That era of the Combat Elite holds a very special place in my heart. And without a trigger adjustable for over travel, I doubt you'll ever have problems with the Series 80 parts - though a check for drag on the plunger as shown in the pictures here is a good idea. Mine has been solid through decades and untold thousands and thousands of rounds. And yes, that's skate tape on the frontstrap. 
I've often thought about having it checkered, but she's basically retired now...and the tape works great!

I am going to order all new parts except for frame,barrel and slide so any small part or spring is going to be new and fit to the gunBeautiful!
