This is my first post to this forum. I finally received my 1911A1 RIA last week, and only had time to put about 50 rounds through it before this weekend. This only matters because I used the weapon to shoot the qualification course for the Kansas CCW permit over the weekend. While the Rock and I were able to shoot perfect scores in both the practice and final qualification rounds, I now have "hammer bite" so bad I will not be shooting strong hand for a few days or so.
As such I am looking to install a beavertail and hammer that draw a little less blood. I understand that most beavertails require a small modification to the frame. I have no problem purchasing a jig for this and doing the work to remove the metal. However, I have two questions about doing so.
1) How do you refinish the modified area so that it matches the rest of the weapon?
2) Does making this modification void the warranty on the weapon?
Finally, if modifying the weapon does void the warranty, (which I expect it does) can someone recommend a good drop in beavertail and hammer combo that is not too spendy?
