Its hard to decide IMO.

I love the look of the flat mainspring housing, and I would figure that a good bearvertail with a memory groove and good grips would make up for what the V grip tries to accomplish.

What do you guys think?

I use the flat mainspring housing because I have small hands and find it works a little better than the arched, but all my gun work is in Bullseye shooting.

I prefer the arched MSH. All my current ones are flat, just got sidetracked shooting other platforms and haven't gotten around to changing them.

It's easy and cheap to swap out mainspring housings. Buy both and shoot.

I prefer stock 1911's with the arched MSH and a short trigger. The gun points and shoots more naturally for me set up that way.

I like my 1911's with a arched MSH and a Long trigger. Because of my hand size that works best for me.

Please make your selection by how it holds and shoot for YOU, not how it looks.

They are not that expensive and not too hard to change. If you are unable to try them in a shop someplace I am sure you will be able to sell what does not work for you to someone who is looking for that piece.

Yea of course, heh, thats why I'm asking. Sounds like it depends on the size of your hand. I will give both a try and see.

Thank you!

Would you say that if your tip of the finger is not on the tip of the trigger naturally that you should use an arched housing, so that it pushes your hand back slightly?
