I need a Wilson Combat ambidextrous thumb safety and beavertail installed in the DFW area that doesn’t have a years wait. Any suggestions?

I don’t mind working on someone else’s gun, but not mine. :lol: I stopped trying to be a gunsmith a king time ago. Thanks.

Hey, that's exactly what I did yesterday morning!! :lol:

I don't have experience with 1911 academy but there were some posts about them a while back and were all positive. They are in mckinney. Might be worth a call.

Give my son a call. He can probably do it.

I thought about him, but know if he had the time since he is working so much. I will call him. Hope you are feeling better.

I’m doing much better. Thanks. My son just got over Covid, but he is doing better now.

I can install those. However, some 1911 safety lever parts are not 100% direct fit and may need some filing to fit.
