This mainspring housing provides just the correct angle, curve and grip that I look for. I've purchased one for each of the 1911's I've built. They're perfect.

These are great fully machined parts. Very consistent between all four of the ones I purchased. You can't go wrong on EGW parts.

Only because I love you guys am I commenting on this item. For the first time in all of the items I'v ebought from you over the years I was not satisfied. The MSH did not fit in to my Springfield Mil-Spec 1911. On close inspection and use of layout die, I found the two rails that stand proud of the sides of the housing, did not have clean inside corners down their lengths. It was as if the part perhaps shifted in its fixture while machining the sides. An hour with a swiss file to clean up the inside edges, and it is now sliding in as it should. Just keep an eye out or perhaps check the setup or condition of the fixture (or hire a skilled Mechanical/Process Engineer like myself to do it. Working there as a retirement gig would be amazing!). Thanks for giving me the opportunity to comment.

The part fit perfectly with no modifications. The checkering was perfect also.

I got the checkered arch mainspring housint to replace the flat one that came on my RIARock Ultra 10mm AUTO. The arched housing fits my hand better and helps with an instictive grip that doesn't want to shoot to the left. I wear size XL gloves by the way. The housing itself is very well made and comfortable to shoot with the 25lpi checkering being just aggressive enough to aid with recoil control. It installed easily with a tight fit no fitting required.

Fits perfect. Classic arched mainspring housing is awesome for reteo builds or for those that like short triggers with arched msh.
