Sometimes, I just have to wonder....
how this stuff gets started? It has become an accepted fact that a flat mainspring housing (a la 1911) is the nee plus ultra. I have always preferred, hands down, the arched mainspring housing. Back in the day, I changed out 1911 and Colt Gold Cup flat housings to arched versions.
Why? For the same reason they went to the arched housing in the first place. I find the flat housing causes me to shoot low when point shooting and I have to cock my wrist up and an uncomfortable angle when shooting slow fire. I find the arched housing far more nature for me to point and shoot. That is why they went to it in the first place.
I realize full well this is personal preference, but just about everybody who makes these things, thinks the flat housing is the way to put them together. Sorta irritates me at times.
