Handgun work stand

What is availiable for holding semi auto handguns for cleaning and working on? Padded vise? Some sort of a fixture? I thought I saw somewhere something that fit into the magwell?

I cut and shaped a piece of aluminum to replace the magazine in a Para frame that worked just fine. It exteneded about 5" below the frame so I could hold it in the vice at different angles. I made this to make checkering the front strap a little easier.

Due to the plastic grip on STI/SVI's, I've never bothered to make one but it should work. Just don't get too rough with it.

I was thinking of something similar. Possibly something that would be secure for stability while cleaning/work etc.

I thought I saw something comercially availiable.

Look at Brownells. They have frame fillers for 1911 and 2011. You slide them in and tighten the vice on the butt end.
