After market 1911 parts

[marcw85]

I have a springfield armory 1911. Basic A-1 type. Where's a good website to go to if I wanted say, a longer thumb saftey or an extended grip saftey

Brownells

THIS +1, they carry almost every manufacture at decent prices

Unless you know how to fit the safeties, you'd be much better off bringing the gun to a smith. Most after-market parts aren't drop-in.

Midway too. Their prices were pretty good a few weeks ago when I ordered mine.

This.

There are good shop manuals at Brownell's, and other locations on the web, Barnes and Noble sells a good general manual by Sweeny, "The Book of the 1911", Vol's 1 &2.

In short, you are betting with your or others lives and some, not all, but some operations are better left to those who do that for a living.

Just my ,.02.

I have been building 1911's for many years and have found that Ed Brown.com is the best place for me, for quality and price....outstanding and quick service too....Not affiliated at all, I just know something good when I use it or see it.

I use Smith Alexander for mag wells...NOT Cheap !!

Kings Combat for sights....also not cheap, but the best IMHO.

Pachmyr for grips.

Wilson Combat for ultra light triggers.

Chip McCormick for mags and hammer/sear combo's
