Beavertail jig works great!
I found this tool to be very useful while installing a new beavertail on an EAA Girsan 1911. As you can see from the photos, it "gets you close." My eyeballs aren't what they used to be, so I overdid the filing just a tad. As others have said, take one stroke at a time, and then look carefully at the effects. Don't overdo it, as I did. I think I took one stroke of the file too many. But I thought it looked okay at the time with my 75 year-old eyeballs. :-) Yet the tool got me in the ballpark with this installation. The Girsan (Turkish made), by the way, is a great shooter with excellent quality parts. It is my sixth 1911 in some 25 years; none of them as inexpensive as this one. Anyway, I am really happy with jig for this job, as it is so much better than trying to do it without a reference of any kind, which I have successfully done before. I should have got this jig long ago! You might note in the photo the little jar of Brownells DICROPAN T-4 Touchup. It's wonderful when working on blued or black steel parts. It's a great "cold blue." Not so good on aluminum, as I have tried it on a few ARs, but it's absolutely great on steel parts. I can't recommend enogh the Wilson Combat jig or Dicropan. Thanks again, Brownells! retired Marine

Wonderful tool
This jig made my beavertail fitting time go from 3 hours to 1. once done with the file I only needed to fine tune a couple high spots and hit it with some emery cloth. I used wilsons beavertail and it fit perfectly

Great Tool
Great tool and very easy to use, simply screw it on the frame and file till you hit the jig. The Jig will get you about 95% of the way to a perfect fit, the other 5% is slow freehand filing. I used this with a wilson beavertail for a perfect fit.

Great product for W. C. Beavertails
This is a must have product if you are going to install a Wilson Combat Beavertail. The instructions can be better however after a little investigation its easy enough to understand. I rated this 4 out of 5 stars as I've used this on several model 1911's and on a few, some additional prep work was needed in order to make the grip function properly.
