Ok, don't bother to replace the trigger itself...that is mostly cosmetic. The sear, Hammer, and other internal parts are what need to go first if you are seriously looking to upgrade your internals. Also, a 2.5 lb trigger job is hard to do safely, is very prone to error, will likely have problems down the road, and is above the minimum weight for many divisions. It is also not recommended by most experts even for competition....Experienced shooters sometimes run a trigger that light, but only for competition.
I personally don't like Hogue Grips, rather, I would replace whatever your pre-existing grips with something better, but it's your pistol.
Competition sights are...best for competition, surprise surprise. You CAN put competition sights on any 1911, however, if the dovetail is not set up to allow adjustable sights, they may hang over the back of the pistol a little bit. It's easy to check, when you are buying sights, just line them up and see whether they hang off the back.
I personally prefer Novak Low Mount tritium sights for mine, but my pistol is primarily for self defense. I am a fairly good shot, and have never had a need to adjust my sights. With that in mind, you may have no need to actually adjust anything....Particularly if you are not an accomplished pistol shot. What new shooters typically do is adjust the sights to compensate for their bad habits, and then whenever they start to shoot correctly, the rounds go high and right which further reinforces the bad habits and prevents them from ever really becoming good shots.
One of the first things people typically do to enhance the reliability of their weapon is to tune the extractor, which was why I asked you if it held a bullet in place by itself. However, you mentioned that you have had 100% reliability and I wasn't paying attention. Since you are not having problems, it works fine and doesn't need to be improved.
The Magwell will greatly enhance your ability to do a fast magazine change, and IMHO looks pretty cool too. It attaches onto the bottom of your pistol and makes a nice 'funnel' shaped opening so you can just cram a new mag anywhere in the vicinity of the bottom of your pistol and it will work. If you want to compete, this will speed your times up a lot...Magazine changes waste a lot of time when people fumble with them.
