So I have this browning 1911 .22 the kids love it and so does the wife. I kind of like it but I wish I could add to it. like a drop in beaver tail and may be better sights.

I have done some looking on sights and beaver tails but have not had much luck..A trigger would be nice too but that may be asking a little much. I did make a set of grips for it this week end just for the fun of it but I want to do more







 
COOL GRIPS. With regards to the beavertail. You could take the stock part and add some "wings" with a TIG welder I suppose and then dress it down and blend it it. That would be a ton of work though. The sights could be done easily by a Smith with a mill and dovetail cutters. Novaks would be a good addition. They do make a Novak that fits the stock 1911 rear dovetail. It's profiled somewhat like the low mount version only not melted into the slide. Is that a roll pin just below the rear sight? IF so what does it hold in?
 
Its not a roll pin its a tapered pin and it holds the firing pin group in. The rear sight is dove tailed but I dont think there is a lot of meat there to go much deeper..

I may have found an after market beaver tail.. we will see
