Description:

Upgrade your 1911 with the Ed Brown Bobtail Mainspring Housing

The 1911 Bobtail Mainspring Housing by Ed Brown is designed for those who prioritize both performance and concealability.

Product Features:

  • Reduced Bulk: Eliminates the sharp profile at the rear of the grip, minimizing printing when carrying.
  • Material Removal: Reduces bulk without compromising magazine capacity or performance by removing nearly ½" of material from the butt.
  • Grip Position: Maintains correct grip position for optimal handling.
  • Customisation: Requires modification of grip panels; choose from Smooth, Checkered (25 lpi), Snakeskin, Chainlink, or Chainlink II patterns.
  • Complete Kit: Includes mainspring, cap, and retaining pin. All internal parts are officer's model size.

Specifications:

Available in Steel, in-the-white (blue), or stainless steel (SS).

Brownells USA well made parts for a great upgrade 15/01/2017

I normally try to avoid buying super specific tools but I think that the jig to install these housings is a smart purchase. With the jig, thei nstallation is a pretty straight forward deal. I suppose that there must be some people that don't like the bobtail, but I find it to be a huge improvement for any 1911 that will be carried concealed. The Ed Brown MSH is well made ... not free, but they are a quality solution for this upgrade.

Brownells USA Bobtail MSH 01/05/2015

I installed the bobtail MSH after using the Ed Brown bobtail jig. The MSH dropped right in with no fitting required, not including the finishing of the cut. It looks and feels good.
