What would you spec out on *your* brand new 1911

[BeerManNOLA]

If you were going to order a brand new 1911, and make it perfect with all the features you want, what would you spec on it? What are your must-have features?

I'm no 1911 expert, but this is what comes to my mind that I'd want:
Solid trigger
Skeletonized hammer
Beaver tail (as opposed to a duck bill)
Wood grips
Commander size
All stainless
.45 ACP
Ambi safety, normal size
Ambi mag release

Likely a Colt as manufacturer

That's all I can think of for now. What about you?

Extended slide release
Adjustable trigger (overtravel screw) and I prefer the holes in the trigger
Pachmayr wrap-around grips rather than wood grips
Make sure the ejection port is lowered and beveled
Polished feed ramp
Extended safety lever
The "bump: on the grip safety

Why not:

30lpi checkering on the front and back staps.

Beavertail grip safety, properly fitted

Good internals, properly fitted, 4-5lb trigger pull

Bulletproof single side safety and slide release

Lopro magwell, blended inside and out

Daragrips D-fence grips (flat bottom to match the magwell)

I like the high power cut, no forward serrations

Serrations on the top of the slide

40lpi serations on the rear of the slide, inc the ejector and extractor butt

Commander size all stainless, or AL framed with the bobtail mod (I need a carry 1911...)

Fixed sights, dovetailed, XS big dot or similar on the front, black rear.
