I suppose we are supposed to be mind readers to figure this kit out. If you're a man with average hand strength, you can still easily assemble and disassemble in an emergency situation with one hand, while desperately holding on to your sandwich with the other. However, the gun is easier to keep on target and easier to control when rapid firing, and that will make YOU more accurate.Ī bushing wrench makes installing the 18# spring easier but you don't NEED it.

To speak for accuracy improvement in the gun, there was none that I could see. The only malfunctions I've had is 2 failures to slide lock using Wilson Combat GI mags (out of 200+ mag changes.) Not bad at all imo. At this time I have put about 2000 rounds of various types of ammo through the gun with this kit. The shok buff will definitely extend the life of your frame and the guide rod will help your springs last longer.

I think the full length guide rod is a good addition for recoil spring control if you don't mind the extra gram (or whatever) of weight up front. Next I tried a Wilson 16# spring with 200gr swc, and this is where the magic happens. The shok buff did it's job and the slide cycled nicely. No malfunctions and the slide lock functioned properly. I started with the included 18# spring with 230gr ball. I installed the kit in my Colt Government Model in about 5 minutes and went to the range.
