I have a Taurus pt1911 and I was thinking about putting a shorter barrel and slide on it, I was wondering if this gun is a decent gun and if its worth putting time and modifications into it? Im not making a race gun or competition gun just want a decent looking and good shooting gun. Preferably in a more compact version. Is it possible to convert my full size into a compact? It shoots pretty well as is but its not good for cc'ing. Instead of buying a new gun I thought I would try and modify this one, if its possible...
