Alex, I just had a Hi-Power worked on by Novak's in West Virginia. They work on Paraords, they do good work and unlike some other big name smiths they have a very good turn around time. They installed night sights, did a trigger job, removed the magazine disconnect, installed a match barrel and re-blued the gun and it only took 17 days from the day it left my house till the day it returned.

BTW they are a great bunch of guys to deal with.

Here is their ala carte price list for 1911's:

They also offer packages but they never seem to have all the mods that I am interested in.
Wayne and his people are good, if somewhat pricey.

They are among the best HP smiths in the country, and their 1911 work is good as well.
