EGW 1911 Mainspring Housing – Serrated – Stainless Steel

EGW 1911 Mainspring Housing – Serrated – Stainless Steel

Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW Serrated Stainless Steel Mainspring Housing, a precision-machined component designed to improve grip, balance, and long-term durability. By combining classic styling with modern machining, this mainspring housing delivers reliable performance for range use, competition, or duty pistols.

Serrated Surface for Confident Control

Instead of traditional checkering, EGW machines clean, straight serrations into the housing. As a result, your palm maintains consistent contact with the pistol during recoil, reloads, and rapid fire. Additionally, the serrated texture offers positive traction without feeling overly aggressive, making it comfortable for extended shooting sessions.

Classic Flat Housing Design

The flat profile follows the original 1911 mainspring housing pattern, preserving the clean, timeless look shooters expect. Moreover, this standard design promotes consistent grip geometry and predictable handling. Consequently, your pistol feels familiar while gaining the benefits of improved traction and balance.

Fully Machined Stainless Steel Construction

EGW machines this mainspring housing from solid stainless steel bar stock, not cast or molded material. Therefore, it provides superior strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Compared to plastic or low-quality cast housings, this stainless steel upgrade withstands heavy use and maintains its fit over time.

Drop-In Fit for Easy Installation

This mainspring housing installs as a true drop-in part for most 1911-style pistols. In particular, the Government Model version fits all full-size 1911 pistols, including Para-Ordnance double-stack models such as the P-14 and P-16. As a result, installation remains quick and straightforward, even for routine upgrades or replacements.

Ideal Replacement for Plastic Housings

Many factory pistols ship with lightweight polymer mainspring housings. By upgrading to this stainless steel version, you add useful rearward weight that improves balance and recoil control. Furthermore, the pistol feels more solid in the hand, which enhances overall shooting confidence and consistency.

Installation Notes

Pins and springs are not included with this mainspring housing. However, you can easily reuse the components from your original housing or install new parts if desired. Either way, the process remains simple for anyone familiar with standard 1911 maintenance.
