I'm getting ready to order a wilson dropin beavertail and I need to get a skeleton hammer. Will any hammer work with my RIA GI model?

Any 1911 hammer will fit your RIA GI Model but the standard spur type, which is on it now will not work with the beavertail unless you "bob" it!!! When you say "skeleton" hammer I am sure that you went with the correct hammer!!! :) :) We will need pictures when it is completed!!! :)

Pics will be taken. As it sits now I have the DHT desert warrior grips and that's it. Hopefully Wednesday I'll put the hammer and BT on. I got a commander style skeleton hammer... Should work fine. I don't like the look of a bobtailed spur hammer.

Good deal Rock Bond! Keep us posted if the Wilson is as "drop in" as they say.

Can't wait to see it! Thinking of doing the same with my new RIA.

Did you get a new hammer strut and a new pin also? the old pins are very hard to get out.
