i just minutes ago, got my FedEx package from Ed Brown. i had ordered an all metal MSH (main spring housing) for my Colt Competition 1911.
of course, that means the original one is ALL PLASTIC.
my cheap(er) Tisas, and 2 Rock Island Armory 1911's, ALL had metal MSH's...
but noooo.......an expensive gun like the Colt...??
and they put a stinking plastic one in..???
many other of my 1911's had an all metal MSH, and yet some others were plastic...
i absolutely DO NOT trust, that tiny pin holding back that 14 lbs(??) spring, in the upper corner.
to me, it's "flimsy", and cheapens the overall price of the gun, and possible reliability
i have been buying Ed Brown products for some time now
this is the original MSH, see that tiny hole at the top right corner..??
that is where, like what, a 14 lbs spring is pushing on...???
and the backside..
there was a selection of Ed Brown housings to choose from, and of course, prices too.
i paid about $50 for the one i got.
takes all of about 5 minutes to install, from gathering the tools, and putting everything away
but Jesus H. Cow....why do they "cheap out" when you are paying so much for a nice gun..????
is it any wonder some of the cheaper brands, (Tisas, RIA) have a following...????
