Woe # 1
I wrote awhile back about building a dedicated 1911 frame for my Marvel Precision .22 conversion that I use in Steel Challnge matches
Well I bought 2 frames. One for me and one for my son. The son's frame has only a Ed Brown grip safety installed.

On Mine I decided to do a grip safety, 20 lpi frontstrap and msh checkering. Every thing was fine until The last thing I did, which was to checker the trigger guard 30 lpi, just for looks.

The hole was so almost centered that I thought about putting in my wife's birth stone and give the frame to her
