My new 1911A1. Got some questions for you guys.

I agree 100% with Ron. If you are new to the 1911 platform, it will take a bit of time to become familiar with it. Dry firing it at home is a big help to learn the grip and trigger. New handguns are usually stiff, and with cleaning, lubing, and usage, they will loosen up. If you are shooting your new 1911 low and to the left, you are jerking the trigger. I mean this as no offense to you, it is just a statement of fact, and very common to new shooters of the 1911 in 45ACP caliber. Let an experienced 1911 shooter shoot it, and then decide if you need adjustable sights or not. If you have already ordered them, that is good also, as you can adjust them to the ammo(bullet weight) that you chose to shoot. Dry firing is you friend.
