I realize that this is probably a long shot, but I need a little bit of work done that seems to outside of my abilities. Nothing crazy like a full build. Just a few new parts fitted. Is there anyone in the metro area who can be trusted around a 1911?

I would talk to Arnie at ABQ Guns. I don't know if he could do the work you want himself ... but I would trust him to give an honest assessment of what he can do, and recommend someone else if he can't do what you need.

I base this off seeing him do just this about a week ago, when I was in to pick something up.

I was going to recommend Score Hi, but I think he only does rifles.

Used him a few times, nice and straight forward guy, can't hurt to call.

They are great but I’m pretty sure like you said they just do bolt guns.

Do not use southwest gunsmithing technologies for anything.

True gunsmiths are dying breed.
All the experts have either retired or have died.

I don't know if this is going to remain true though.  With the advent of the 2011, there is substantial new blood flooding into the 1911/2011 space as they are basically the same thing.
