If you can't find anybody close to you, I build custom 1911s and have quite a few parts on hand. Located between Baton Rouge and Amite. If you have any questions about the 1911, PM me. It might help you decide on what you want done regardless on what shop does the work.
A-1 only does rifles, He got out of doing pistol 10 plus years ago. Now this was about 5 years ago when I went to see about having some work done a 1911.
I can count on 1 hand how many times i have seen A-1 open in this 5 years since i went in asking about some pistol work myself.
