By the way, here are the links to pics of my Star PD and RIA Officers 1911 wearing 4S's grips. The Stars are Jobillo wood and they have cameled some since this picture was taken and the 1911's are Burmese Blackwood.

I meant that the Star's grips have "Carameled" some. And if anyone can make those visible without having to click the link please have a go. :roll:

It keeps the swinging link from stretching by slowing the compression timing and reducing the sharpness of the blow to the frame when the springs reach full compression, correct? Nice fix from an engineering standpoint but I think just using a hardened swinging link from the get go would have been better. Does anybody use a hardened link?

The VIS recoil setup I think is the nicest shooting WWII 9mm and it helps with the recoil.

Those are some nice pieces too Ketch.
