Just received these today. They're aluminum pieces that were coated in flat black (I got these from the 1st batch done in black from CW Accessories - otherwise they're sold in a shiny aluminum finish). Something to look into for GSG 1911 owners.
The stock GSG 1911 magazine base pads are plastic, and from what I've seen & heard from other GSG 1911 owners, they break easily if you're not careful with them. If you drop the mag onto a hard surface, they'll crack or just break altogether. So these new aluminum ones are more sturdy and just look a lot better. Plus it's much easier to grab the mags out of the gun, or from a pouch on my waist when I need to reload (I was testing it out tonight, in preparation for the EBR rimfire match in July
).
I don't like the light on the GSG since the aftermarket rail positions the light too low on the frame, but I just put it on for the pictures. On my Kimber TLE/RL, the rail is higher and it makes the light lined up with the trigger guard, so reaching for the controls with your finger feels more natural.
