Saw a picture of this in the Guns and Ammo Handgun annual this week.

I must admit that this tempts me greatly.  I have long wished for a relatively simple way to slap a tactical light on my 1911 without resorting to a $urefire.  Installation requires drilling and tapping four screws into the dustcover, and construction is plastic.  Cost is $22.50 (not including possible gunsmithing).

I have heard nothing negative about Cylinder and Slide, so what do ya'll think?
Good idea or bad?

Lumpy196, do you have any more info or pics on the Dawson Precision rail? I have been thinking of a rail for my 1911 as well and plastic just does not seem right. I would even consider a strike plate but would rather have something a little more streamlined.Thank you in advance.
