I have an R1 threaded. It took some time to loosen up. I would much rather tight tolerances from factory rather than loose. I use mine as a suppressor host but have also done many three gun competions with it. Eventually I switched to a Wilson Bullet Proof bushings that also required some hand fitting, but I do feel it tightened the barrel up even more consistently than factory. The NM triggers and Sears also clean them up. I dumped the factory mags for McCormick or Wilson 10 rounders. Ymmv.
There is more than one way to take them apart...however having a nice non marring bushing wrench is a keeper either way.
I think they are okay 1911s. Over six years or so on mine now. They are stupid heavy. Make a nice blunt weapon if needed!
