“The part looks great and fits the colt gov model classic well. The edges on the cuts in the back are rough and could have used extra polishing but it's a 40 dollar part so idc. My problems: the mainspring pin for my gun needed fitting which wasn't hard but still kind of annoying. Worse than that the lanyard loop that came with the housing doesn't fit the part at all. I'll have to drill the holes or something but it's more of a pain then it should be for a part the came with it. 4 stars because of price and gun fit. Colt puts plastic ones in now and that really makes me mad but egw got it covered.”

“In the past 6 months I have ordered (3); arched, serrated 1911 mainspring housings (SKU: 11441) and have found them to be of good workmanship and robust quality! Highly recommend them, they have worked out well for me...”

“I have EGW lanyard loop mainspring housings in several of my 1911 pistols. What I like about them is that they are solid steel and the serrations are nice and sharp the way they should be. Too many serrated mainspring housings have dull serrations.”

“Exact match to my Colt MkIV Series 70 Government Model factory housing except added lanyard loop. Excellent machining, blue, and fit. This is exactly the part i wanted to upgrade. You will like it, too.”

“The housing fits well and is well machined and finished. However, there are several small nicks in the serrations right out of the package. This will happen eventually. But. I'd rather be responsible for it rather than pay for the privilege on a new product. Hence the four out of five stars.”
