Not Quite Right for a Sig 1911

I bought this for a SIG 1911 TAC. I knew some fitting might be required but jeeze!. Shaping the locking end was no big deal but getting the internal dimensions to fit a magazine was a mess. The shape difference between the stock sig part and Wilson part is bout 1/4 of internal metal on the lock side which must be removed to get a slide to lock-up and drop. Using hand tools, I'm just about finished but next time I'll buy a "drop in" or have the stock button drilled and tapped. This was a dumb idea and I'm pretty good with the tools.
