When you work with metals, a checkering file will tell you how hard that lower end is. They may very well be like Colt's which used to be soft, also. I am used to working with much better components that this stuff so I may be a little hard on the fact that if you customize a $300.00 gun, that is what you have when you are done. These old slides can be very hard and I used them on custom comp guns in the old days with confidence. I used to buy them in lots of six for $35.00 apiece.
When you add custom features to a 1911, you seldom get that money back, except in pride of ownership for the time you have it and use it. No matter what you do to it and how much you spend, you still have an old Brazilian 1911.
