One thing I forgot to mention. I'm a DA/SA shooter, in training and competition I generally run DA/SA Sig or Beretta. I also prefer 9mm, but this project will allow me to shoot the .40 in the action I prefer.

Shoots great, 100% better than what it was.
Parts - Sights were 70 buck, mag release about 8 bucks.
Melonite was 120 bucks - not needed, but I had to have the slide black.

No modifications, the part # is 100-005-187 it's designed by Warren Tactical as the S&W 1911/5906 (3rd gen cut) sights. I actually had to email Brownells over and over to try and get them to update their site. They don't seem to want to do this though.
Keep in mind - in my experience with the 4006's there are some variances in the dovetails. So you may get an oversized dovetail and have poor fit.
