What happened to all 1911 jigs/fixtures?

[javaduke]

I'm talking about ones like this http://www.matrixprecisionparts.com/...products_id=62 or this one: http://1911builders.com/collections/...inus-frame-kit
Can't find any in stock. Does anyone have a jig that I can borrow?

Matrix Precision is making a new version of the drilling jig so they've stopped making the old version. I don't know if the 1911 builders' tool is the same as the MP one but if it is, it makes sense that they're both out of stock.

Once the holiday season is past, I'm sure both companies will resume business as usual and start offering the jigs again. I'm waiting for the new drilling jig myself so I can drill my 2011 frame; the Limited-10 jig is way too expensive.

I actually got one. (limited 10 jig) just so I can start the 2011 project. Just waiting for a new Drill Press table. Tired of my warped one. By the way, the limited 10 jig is tiny. I was very surprised when I took it out of the box... I saw the pictures, but after having seen and held others, this one looks like a toy. I am sure it will work just fine.
