I'll replace all the plastic parts for sure. I think that S&A makes a mainspring housing/mag guide with a lanyard loop, I'll pick up that one.
Can you recommend a good smith for the work you recommend?
Best regards

The mags are 11 round, IIRC, not 12, unless they found some more room in there recently.
Get the S&A Para Ordnance Mag Guide (Drop-In). Unless you are worried about retention, I would skip the lanyard loop.
I use a local smith, most of the work is pretty basic. With the alloy frame, if you cannot find a good checkerer locally, they make a weld on checkered front grip strap that is pretty close.
Some with small hands prefer a grip reduction as well. Personally, I do not need it.
Have fun!
