Hello friendly NES-ers-
I have a S&W 1911 with an ambi safety, and the left thumb pad (the one I usually use as a right handed shooter) just snapped off while I was shooting, right in front of the hinge tube (see attached pictures for an idea). I obviously need to replace the safety, which isn't a huge deal, so I'm looking for a recommendation for a good 1911 smith, but also, if possible, I'd like to be around when he replaces it, as I'd just like to watch him do it and learn how to do it myself.
Also, something in the Boston metro area would be greatly preferred (inside 128) as that's what I am.
Thanks everyone
