The RIA 1911, as well as most all others, work great out of the box. They do not require additional parts. I agree that the grip safety is unnecessary but it is in no way a demerit to the platform. The only malfunction you'll find with a poorly fitted grip safety is that it fails to disconnect the action, and not fail in a manner that makes the gun nonfunctional. The only complication between the 1911 and a Glock is a manual safety. If you can't get your head around that I'm not entirely sure you should be within reach of lethal force.
Length is easy to conceal, thickness isn't, which is the primary reason I pack a 1911 with slim grip panels on it. If I wasn't going to carry the 1911 it'd probably be my USP .45, which can also be carried in condition one.
