EGW 1911 Mainspring Housing – Serrated, Arched, Blue, with Lanyard Loop
Upgrade your 1911 quickly and confidently with the EGW Serrated Arched Mainspring Housing. Designed to enhance grip, balance, and overall handling, this housing also adds a functional lanyard loop without compromising the classic 1911 style. As a result, your pistol performs better while maintaining its timeless appearance.
Precision Serrations for Superior Control
The serrations on this mainspring housing position weight effectively and provide excellent traction. Consequently, your hand remains secure during recoil, rapid fire, and reloads. Furthermore, the checkering feels natural and comfortable, which helps you maintain confidence shot after shot. In addition, the design ensures that your grip stays consistent under all shooting conditions.
Premium Carbon Steel Construction
EGW fully machines this mainspring housing from solid carbon steel bar stock. Therefore, it delivers superior strength, long-term durability, and resistance to wear compared with plastic or cast alternatives. Moreover, the blued finish adds corrosion protection while giving your pistol a professional, classic look. Together, the material and finish create a housing built to perform and last.
Classic Arched Design for Better Ergonomics
The arched profile enhances grip ergonomics and naturally fills the palm. As a result, your pistol feels more balanced and tracks straighter during recoil. Additionally, the arched design improves predictability in rapid-fire situations, which leads to better accuracy and control. Consequently, shooters experience both comfort and performance in every session.
Ideal Replacement for Factory Plastic Housings
Many factory 1911s ship with lightweight polymer mainspring housings. By upgrading to this steel version, you not only add rearward weight for improved balance, but also gain a more solid feel in the hand. Moreover, it serves as a reliable replacement for worn or damaged plastic housings, while seamlessly preserving your pistol’s classic profile.
Lanyard Loop for Added Convenience
This mainspring housing includes a functional lanyard loop, allowing you to secure your pistol during training, tactical use, or duty. Therefore, you gain added convenience and security without sacrificing performance. In other words, it combines practicality with precision engineering.
