A buddy of mine just got a Springfield Arms GI45 hi-capacity widebody 1911-A1. He's asked my help on ordering parts and I don't know the first thing about 1911's...

It's the hi capacity one, of course.
Can you recommend a high grip beavertail safety, trigger, and hammer? From what I understand to run the beavertail safety you have to use a cut down hammer, which makes sense. I'm seeing different hammers, safeties, and triggers. Some for 70 series and some for 80 series and I have no clue as to which one this 1911 is.
From what I can see, most beavertails also need machine work to the frame. Are there any out there that are drop in, that will work with this 1911?
As far as the hammer goes, I think I have that one covered, but I have only found one that is for widebody 1911's. That one was at Brownells I believe. Anyone know of any other reputable dealers that carry them?
Thanks for all your help.
