1911 BOBTAIL MAINSPRING HOUSING Reviews & Ratings

Eliminates the sharp profile at the rear of the grip that can “print” when carrying a concealed 1911 Auto. Reduces bulk without reducing magazine capacity or performance. Removes nearly ½" of material from the butt while maintaining correct grip position. Will require modification of grip panels. Choose from Smooth, Checkered (25 lpi), Snakeskin, Chainlink, or Chainlink II patterns. Includes mainspring, cap, and retaining pin. All internal parts are officer's model size.

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

Things to Know Before Buying

Perfect Contour and fit for Dan Wesson Guardian. NOTE: The Contour is perfect for a Tisas B45A Stingray. HOWEVER, THE Tisas Frame and Mainspring Housing Pin are drilled in a different location.....So no can do

ED MSH

Dan Wesson Guardian 45acp.Time to remove old one and install EB less then 10 min. No fitting needed. Fits almost as good as original. Feels more like my DW Valor now. Worth the price.

25 LPI Ed Brown Main Spring Housing

I installed this along with the Memory Groove Grip Safety on my Dan Wesson Guardian 9MM/38 Super. Very Easy to install. The Main spring housing was close but not quite as good a fit as the Original, but close enough. The MSH fit the grip with just a little place on each side where the frame needed just a small amount taken off. I am not going to work on the frame. Its almost perfect so it will be fine. I also used the memory groove Grip Safety and it fit perfect. I think the color matches even better than the originals, and I like the look of the memory groove and 25 LPT MSH so I will leave them on and keep the originals. The original MSH had the last 4 numbers of the serial number inscribed and the Grip safety had the full serial number on the back, so I will just keep them with the gun.

Bobtail MSH

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.
