Our Light weight Mainspring Housing Cap is 40% Lighter • Faster Lock Time • Precision Machined Performance
The TMC Lightweight Mainspring Housing Cap delivers a critical performance upgrade for 1911 pistols by reducing mass in the ignition system for faster lock time and improved trigger response. At 40% lighter than standard MIL-SPEC steel caps, this precision-machined component helps your hammer accelerate faster while maintaining full reliability.
Unlike factory caps that add unnecessary weight, this lightweight mainspring housing cap improves shot-to-shot consistency and supports faster split times in competition and performance-driven pistols.
