Started watching a series on Netflix called Damnation.  Was supposed to take place in Iowa, 1931.  One of the characters breaks out a 1911 with race hammer and beavertail grip safety.  Could have been the best series on Netflix but I'll never know because I had to turn it off. 

 

You can comfortably go back and finish watching the series.  There were a number of gunsmiths even as far back as early 1931 that were customizing 1911's.  Hyman S. Lebman was making full-auto 1911's.  Some were in 45ACP and at least a couple in 38 Super.

I'm sure there were other lesser know gunsmiths who could have built the 1911 with modified hammers and extended grips safety/frames to prevent hammer bite and better sights.
