Great 1911 Upgrade 17/12/2016
Just installed this Stainless Steel V-grip mainspring housing and I am glad I did it. Replaced the stock plastic housing on my Kimber Stainless ll 45 ACP. Install was easy with no extra fitting or problems. It positions the shooting hand and keeps it high into the grip safety. For larger size hands it enlarges the grip for better control the gun. Very well made and enhances the look of the 1911. I have put 150 rounds of 230 grain ball, and 100 rounds of 185 grain truncated FMJ through it so far with the new addition. No problems were to be had and it felt very good shooting both two and single hand.
Interesting option & great quality 25/08/2016
Tried this on my new Gold Cup 'cause I really don't like the straight backstrap. It really is nicely made, & just slid in perfectly. I think it gives a kind of in-between feel between the straight housing & the arched one. In the end, I think I'll swap it out for an arched backstrap: I've got large hands & the arch just nestles into the indentation in the bottom part of my hand & forces it (comfortably) higher, but it was great to try this high-quality piece: it'll probably be perfect for someone.
