  • solid rod vs 2 piece recoil spring in a 1911

    so i got my new cheapo 1911 in and the first thing i notice whhen i break it down is the recoil spring shooting out at my face. is it better to convert to a solid rod the spring sits on like my kimber has?

      I have heard that there is no benefit of a full length guide rod...but I have also heard that GI short guide rods have a tendency to bind the spring and break.

      Which is correct? I don't know.

        It's always been debated, there will never be a consensus. Many say FLGR are for pistols with poor slide/frame fitment.

          Curious to hear what you bought. I just bought two "cheapo" 1911's myself, but they got good reviews. I'm thinking we may have bought the same brand possibly
