Morning all, my search-fu is weak today, so I'm posting. I recently picked up a Springfield 1911 GI. I'm very happy with it, but I'd like to add a beavertail safety and a commander-style hammer. Can anyone make a good recommendation? Thanks!

Found my answer (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=389996&highlight=springfield+GI+beavertail), nevermind. :D

Still open to input from anyone who's done this, I want to try and get this done without modifying my frame... thanks guys.

THere are numerous "drop in" beavertails available, some marketed specifically for the Springfield frame tail shape. However, they will all require that you check fit/function of the trigger blocking arm with the trigger bow before you declare it safe for use. The arm will usually require a small amount of material to be removed.

I'm looking at the Wilson Commander and the Smith & Alexander... both of which are supposed to work. Funnelcake suggested the Wilson, so I may give it a whirl... I like the looks of it best. And since I'm doing the Wislon beavertail, might as well do the hammer. And sear, and trigger.... :D
