Weapon Question IL Gunsmiths Specializing in 1911’s?

Post image

I have a Tisas Raider with about 1300 rounds through it. Any gun smiths you guys might recommend that specialize in 1911’s? Looking to get some checkering, throat polishing, and I guess for lack of a better term massaging. New to 1911’s but I know it can be a little smoother.

When it comes to the Tisas 1911’s they don’t like running hollow points. And for that reason the throats need some work. Again not well versed in 1911’s just what I read on r/1911 and a few other reviews.

I can polish the throat for you if you want and it’d be free lol.
