Just realized I'm the only one in my shop who still hand-fits a 1911 slide to frame

Had a customer bring in a 'match grade' drop-in kit last week that rattled like a tin can, proving my point that you can't skip the hours of careful filing. Anyone else still doing this the slow way, or is it just me now?

gracem32's cheap kit story proves the point...

That "match grade" kit probably just needed a better brand, not more filing lol.

I used to believe that too, but a cheap kit I had to hand-fit proved me wrong.
