Hi Equalizer!
It always perplexes me that people want to take weight off of the wrong half of the 1911.
If you look at simple physics, and consider such things as
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
and
An object in motion tends to remain in motion, an object at rest tends to remain at rest.
Applie these to the pistol
the object in motion is the slide.
The object at rest is the frame.
If you can lighten the slide and increase the weight of the frame,
the object in motion (slide) will have MUCH less effect on the object at rest, and, the frame, (object at rest) will require more energy to move it.
Thus,
light slide, heavy frame = less felt recoil.
Go with a steel, arched mainspring housing, and a steel Ed Brown Grip safety. (It DOES ride high and who cares how it looks? How does it SHOOT?)
