Picked up a 1911 offiers model recently and the muzzle has some several dings on the top side. Just looking for suggestions on where to sent to have the muzzle re-crowned. Or would i be better off just replacing the barrel?

No have not had the chance. I am definately going to shoot it first, but also exploring my options. Just not sure why it is all on the top of the muzzle, only thing i can think of it was carried in a fobus paddle holster with the muzzle exposrd.
