Bought a 1911. Now what?

Y'all may have already seen the thread from last week, but I didn't want this to get buried.
I picked up a Sig Sauer C3 as a wedding present to myself.
First things first, already bought ammo.
Looking to pick up a couple mags. I missed out on the Wilson Combat deal from Midway. How does the OB feel about Ed Brown vs. Wilson Combat? Will the EB's fit? The C3 is an Officer sized frame with a Commander slide.
Next up, grips. Gonna buy some VZ's. Just looking for suggestions what would look best with the two-tone matte stainless and black.
I don't plan on tinkering with the internals until I have a few hundred down range but are there any must have mod's I should look into in the short term?
Thanks OB

had problems with an Ed Brown mag.
Never had an issue w/ Wilson Combat mags.

Shoot them and get new stuff as time goes on. I am interested to see how that 22 works out

Make sure it stays pretty, put it in the safe, and then strap on your glock and go about your life.

Now you get ready for the lady parades to show up begging to be serviced.

Wilson Combat mags are legit. Buy those. Go play around on VZ's website until you find a grip texture and color combo you like. Come back and post pics after the upgrades.

Now what?
Only carry cash instead of debit or credit cards, otherwise you'll just end up having to buy another one soon.
I've never used Ed Brown mags and mainly stick with Wilsons. I have heard some good things about Chip McCormick mags.

Awesome guns man.
Mine isn't as nice as yours, but I have a Remington R1 and I use Wilson Combat with no problems whatsoever. I also have VZ grips and they are definitely the way to go.
Oh yeah...and be careful with "drop in" parts for the gun as far as internals/hammer/etc. I have a couple of mods done to mine and from my experience most 1911 mods require fitting.

What you should do is put some rounds thru it, make sure it's reliable and you like it. Then start putting money into the gun.
