1911 Mainspring Cap FAQ
What is the benefit of a titanium mainspring cap?
A titanium mainspring cap offers a premium, lightweight alternative to a standard steel cap. While a small part, every gram counts for competitive shooters and those who carry a firearm all day. It provides the same strength as steel at a fraction of the weight and is completely corrosion-proof, making it a true "buy it for life" upgrade.
Is this a drop-in part?
Yes, for most in-spec 1911 and 2011 pistols, this is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory mainspring cap. However, disassembling the mainspring housing can be tricky due to the compressed spring. For safety and to prevent losing parts, we strongly recommend having this part installed by a qualified and professional gunsmith.
