Even though my Dan Wesson PM7-45 runs great with the FLGR, I decided to go GI and update it to a Wilson Combat plug with rings.
I had a little problem, though. I had been warned that the WC plugs sometimes come a little on the long side and, sure enough, it was too long. I debated sending it back, but then I had an idea. I broke out my 45 Colt case trimmer and trimmed it back to fit. I also deburred it using my Lee deburring tool. Fit's perfectly now! The Ed Brown guide rod dropped right in, too.
I also changed out the grips and bushings for slim-line Dan Wesson laser etched logo grips and thin bushings. Now this gun is perfect for me.
I have a custom 1911 by Marianne Carniak, too,(in addition to a few others) but I have to admit that even though it's custom, it doesn't hold a candle to the production fit and finish of my PM7. This 1911 won't be sold or traded. It's perfect for me now.
