I'd like to change out the beavertail on my RIA 1911.
What do you all like and why? |

Order the Ed Brown beavertail and jig You can fit it yourself if your good with hand tools Quoted:

Thanks guys. Recommendations on who to do the work at a fair price - keeping in mind it's a sub $400 pistol. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Order the Ed Brown beavertail and jig You can fit it yourself if your good with hand tools +1 But then I would give the pistol to the local smith for a refinish, unless yours is a stainless. Swapping the GS over to a bevertail may end up costing close to 1/2 the pistols worth, something to keep in mind when purchasing a pistol without these "upgrades". eta Wilson may still sell a drop in duckbill type, but to me they look like ass. On the plus side no frame modifications are required. Oh you will also have to swap out or modifiy your hammer as well for either design. |
