my brother in law just bought a ruger 1911 commander. this one https://ruger.com/products/sr1911/specSheets/6708.html
He would like to add a magwell to it and have me make him some grips. Grips are easy, but I don't have much experience with the 1911, though I do know my way around, lets call it advanced-amateur gunsmithing. I was thinking of getting something like this https://www.brownells.com/handgun-p...1-mainspring-housing-w-magwell-prod12752.aspx though of course the color won't match.
he would like the magwell to be a seamless transition like in the attached image. Is the smith and alexander my best bet? Is is more or less drop in, or should I expect to do a bunch of fitting? Is there an affordable option that would sort of match the black color of his gun?
