Easy to use, but labor intensive (11/10/2009)

When drop in beavertails aren't available, you should use a jig - one with the same radius as the new beavertail for best fit. Should buy beavertail & jig made by same company. Provided instructions were pretty basic, but intuitive - mount jig & cut frame to jig surface. At that point, you're not finished. Must trim frame a bit at a time until holes in frame & jig line up. Then finish triming the beavertail tab (the hardest part) to make grip safety/trigger/sear/hammer work. Use old grip safety for reference.
Pics on my instructions were poor to black, but not really needed. Cutting can be done w/fine hobby bench grinder, fine files, & Cratex tools. Metal on jig is very hard & difficult to damage. First job took long time, next will be 1/2 as much. Came out really nice for my first job as a rank amateur.

Great tool! (19/06/2011)

I have fit BT safeties in the past by hand and it took a long time to get it done and look good. Using this tool it took about 1 hour from start to final lapping of the safety. The jig is super hard and the file just bounces off of it. It will get you close then some layout fluid or permanent marker and test to get that last whisker of metal removed and have a perfect fit.

The only downside is the instructions. They pretty much are useless.

Great Tool (21/10/2011)

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.

Wonderful tool (16/12/2011)

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

Nice little piece. (24/04/2012)

This is a nice little jig that will make things a lot easier fitting the beavertail on my Officers ACP though i must say that the instructions are a joke, why even think of including example pictures when they are just black smears on the paper.. Seriously.

Great product for W. C. Beavertails (26/02/2017)

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 itâs 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.
