Disclaimer: I have googled, several times, and come up with close to nothing worth mentioning on the subject.
Anyway, I'm curious as to what real steel (RS) parts can be fitted to a TM 1911. I know grips fit and that sights can fit - although it requires some
serious fitting.
The parts I'm really interested in is slide stop and magazine catch, as the RS parts are actually cheaper to come by - at least compared to NOVA parts.
Edit:
Also, I'm a little interested in the whole "fitting RS sights to a TM"-discussion you had on
page 7 or so. I've tried to find more information about this, without result.
Is it doable, or should it be avoided at all costs? I haven't found any other decent-looking sights to put on my PGC-kit.

Is it the same deal with the RS sights, or even worse?
