Thanks, Paul. So far, I've learned that I should have sent the M1911A1 to a professional and had the work done right. I have learned my lesson.... Maybe there was a good reason why the gun was blued previously? It's an arsenal rebuild, so I wasn't expecting perfection, but what it looks like now is much worse than what it looked like before I started this misadventure...
Before... the screwed up gun is on the left, not the re-bluing and incorrect grips...
