I have a 5" RIA, and wanted to add a few features that didnt come with.
It seems the Wilson beavertail jig is easier to use than the Brown. Is this in fact true? It seems that it takes all the "art" out if it, and makes it error proof. The only problem is that I dont know if the jig advertised for wilson, will in fact fit the wilson beavertail (or ducktail, whatever). It says you need the 298 model, but only the 402 is listed.
