I have, on a friends 1911, that I had passed on back in the mid 80's. A gunsmith had modified several NIB SAI 1911A1's at a gunshow. My friend was looking for a 'race' gun and I was looking for a carry piece with reliability being #1 and got exactly what I was looking for. Still have it, but @73, a bit heavy for carry LOL.

His got gone in fairly short order, because that extended mag release seemed to cause a LOT of unintended mag dumps before the mag was empty. It covered close to 1/2 of the width of the left grip and ~1/4" too long. The slightest change in the grip while firing seemed to drop the mag. NOT good on the third or fourth shot.

At least yours is below the thumb shelf and not where you would normally rest the thumb (his was).
