1911 Parts and Customization!

[siegehammer63]

Hello again!
I'm running an STI trojan, in .45 (actually I purchased it on here a few moons ago now!) and I was looking at ways to upgrade it.
I'm thinking an SVI short flat trigger insert/bow replacement, some sort of extended slide release, and an extended oversized mag release (I have short, thick fingers).
So, 2 things:
1. Does anyone know dealers for SVI up here? I was in contact with some fellows in Quebec but money stuff came up at the time, and I can't seem to get a hold of them.
2. What slide releases/mag releases are you more experienced sport and tactical shooters running?
Cheers!

I've been thinking about getting a Wilson Combat Oversize mag release. I'm using a regular Ed Brown slide release lever.

I run that wilson mag release on all my 1911s and had one sitting in waiting for the next 1911 my short thumbs approve

Well, I already have their fiber optic front sight, and I run their magazines, so that's a ringer! Lmao

No clue. I was just gonna get it from Brownells with some other stuff.

I started this thread with a list of dealers who stock 1911 parts & accessories, feel free to post and add to the list. Hopefully we can get it to be "stickied" if there is such a word lol.

I run out Wilson on my ipsc classic gun(slide and mag release) they work great as I too suffer from short thumbs. I have another mag release coming for my new 9mm but unfortunately brownels doesn't carry any 9mm extended slide stops.

I'm going to see about ordering straight from Brownells for the small parts, and I shall talk to SVI about the potential for the triggers and shoe. I'll let you know how it goes!
