I am fairly good as a 'shade-tree' gunsmith / repairer / modifier and have a basic shop ( no real machining tools or anything like that - yet).. I have a friend that wants to come over and get my help installing a couple aftermarket mods to his 1911 ( SA).. Beavertail, amb-safety, extended mag release etc..
It seems based on online comments, the extended mag releases are pretty much drop-in.. However I get mixed info on the beavertail and improved safety switches.. I am not afraid of a dremel tool but I am afraid of screwing something up - esp when it's not mine.
Bottom line - How truly 'drop-in' are these and what am I likely to run into ? . Any suggestions on brands based on your experiences are appreciated - there seems to be a lot of options - I am about overloaded on research with the options..
Thanks..
