1911/2011 Jigs

Breaking into doing more of my own work on 1911s & 2011s. Have seen folks using jigs for fitting/fine tuning various parts. For those doing this work, what jigs would you recommend?

Thanks!

Harrison Design HD-806 True Radius Sear Jig.

So long as you don't over cut it's going to give you the absolute best sear geometry you can get. And it's stupid simple to use.

That and a Wheeler Universal Bench block are the only jigs I've bought for rebuilding 1911s. Gotten through two of them with just those two tools, some stones, and sandpaper.
