maybe add a dawson fiber optic front sight to the trigger kit and guide rod and you should be good to go.

Trigger job would be top priority. Other than that, spare mags and lots of ammo.

Yeah, PRP Ultimate Match Trigger is tops on my list. I like the sights, myself. Maybe add the laser cut grip tape, in red

I think I have some of the Tungsten rods left over. Cut to
length $10 +2 shiping. I can check if you have an interest...

The PRP UMT replaces more than just the trigger group. You get new Sear components as well. See HERE.

Like many have said the trigger is the first thing to do. The guide rod is also logical to do. I really notice that mine has less recoil, but I also have a different spring besides the guide rod. I went with the 5/16 guide rod and a 16# 1911 spring. Rich at Canyon Creek is who worked on my gun, and I am super happy with it.
